Samuil Abramovich Samosud (Russian: Самуил Абрамович Самосуд) (Tbilisi, Georgia, 14 May [O.S. 2 May] 1884 — Moscow, 6 November 1964)  was a Soviet Russian conductor.
He started his musical career on the cello, before conducting in the Mariinsky Theater, Petrograd in 1917. From 1918 to 1936 he conducted at  the Maly Operny, Leningrad. In 1936 he became musical director at the Bolshoi Theater, Moscow. He founded what became the Moscow  Philharmonic Orchestra in 1951. He premiered several important works, including Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District,  The Nose, "Leningrad Symphony" and Prokofiev's War and Peace. Shostakovich "had a high opinion" of Samosud's theatrical performances,  and regarded him as "the supreme interpreter" of operatic works including Lady Macbeth. Nonetheless, after Samosud premiered the  Leningrad Symphony, the composer wrote that he wanted to hear Mravinsky perform the symphony, as he didn't "have great faith in Samosud as  a symphonic conductor".


Mark Osipovich Reizen, also Reisen or Reyzen (Russian: Марк Осипович Рейзен, born in Zaitsevo village, Ekaterinoslav province, Russian Empire  (now Ukraine) 3 July [O.S. 21 June] 1895 – died November 25, 1992 Moscow, Russia) was a leading Soviet opera singer with a beautiful and expansive bass voice. A tall man commanding a strong stage presence, he joined the Bolshoi Theatre in 1930, remaining there as a principal bass until his retirement in 1954. Reizen was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1941, 1949, and 1951. In 1967, he began teaching, and became a professor at the Moscow Gnessin Institute. He gave an important recital for his 80th anniversary, and for  his 90th sang Prince Gremin (in Eugene Onegin) at the Bolshoi in Moscow in July 1985. On both occasions his voice proved to be in a remarkable state of preservation. Reizen died at age 97 of a stroke. He is considered to have been the most illustrious Russian bass since the days of Lev Sibiriakov (1869-1942) and  Feodor Chaliapin (1873-1938), and the possessor of one of the very finest voices of its type heard anywhere in the world during the past 100 years.

Ivan Semyonovich Kozlovsky (Russian: Иван Семёнович Козловский; also referred to as Kozlovskiy or Kozlovskij;  March 24 [O.S. March 11] 1900 – December 21, 1993) was Ukrainian-born Soviet lyric tenor and one of the most well known stars of Soviet opera,  as well a producer and director of his own opera company, and longtime teacher at the Moscow Conservatory.
