Alexandre Rabinovitch-Barakovsky is an acclaimed Russian-born Swiss composer and pianist, known for his unique approach to classical and contemporary music. Born on August 24, 1945, in Moscow, Russia, his musical journey began in his homeland where he was indoctrinated into the Russian piano school. After immigrating to Switzerland in 1974, Rabinovitch-Barakovsky's career flourished as he carved out a distinctive niche by blending elements of traditional Eastern philosophies with Western musical ideas, creating an eclectic and meditative body of work that resonates with a sense of timeless spirituality.

His compositions often draw on historical and esoteric sources, and his works are characterized by the use of repetitive structures and an interest in exploring the metaphysical aspects of music. Rabinovitch-Barakovsky has extensively recorded both as a composer and performer, and his discography reflects a deep engagement with a broad repertoire, including both his original works, such as "Anthology of Archaic Rituals - in Search of the Center" and his performances of classical giants like Shostakovich, Beethoven, Berlioz, Schumann, and Ravel. Through his series of recordings like "Terza Pratica," he has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the concept of music as a transformative practice, endowing his compositions and interpretations with a profound depth and a meditative quality. His work continues to be celebrated internationally for its originality and profound emotional resonance.
