Levenson, Boris. (1884-1947) [Rimsky-Korsakov]. Photograph of the Russian Masters, inscribed to Alexander Kipnis, Bass. . Inscribed in green ink "To the distinguished Russian Bass Baritone Alexander Kipnis with compliments Boris Levenson New York, April 30, 1942." The photograph shows Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov posing with a group of his composition students at the time, including Levenson. Mounting traces to edges, somewhat yellowed. 5 in. x 7 1/4 in. Uncommon.
Levenson, born in Bessarabia, Romania, became a pupil of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, before becoming a prominent composer and performer. The New York Times (April 4, 1922) praised his first US concert at Aeolian Hall, including his quartet in B flat, "with a notably beautiful second movement, andante sostenuto and a scherzando of plucked strings, followed by a slow refrain in 5-4 time, all of Slavic character, but polished in workmanship and performance."
