He appears in the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia and also is mentioned in various articles about the development of opera and ballet in the Soviet Union. There just doesn't seem to be any coverage in English. user:jskarf —Preceding undated comment added 09:42, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: The linked version of the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia is, technically, a wiki, but the main page states (in English) that it is an "online adaptation" of a printed source. Inclusion there and the "Honored Artist" appointment indicates notability, but achieving a better article probably requires more work with printed Russian-language sources. (Contemporary reviews of his work? Obituaries in the daily press or in specialist music periodicals? Discussion of his work in books or journal articles? Let's ping musicologist to see if he can help.) --Hegvald (talk) 09:28, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Just to clarify about the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia, it was originally printed in Moscow in 1995, and was only later put online so that it would be more accessible. Here is the Russian language article about it: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%B5%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%8D%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jskarf (talk • contribs) 09:45, 13 November 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
