Pure Russian music? You have missed out the great master Tanayev! Almost alone, he manages to combine that true Russian sound with our counterproductive western accountantcy.
Actually it was not Tanayev but Taneyev. Despise the change of juts one letter they have VERY different pronunciation in Russian. Tanayev was a famous communist-bureaucrat in Soviet Union.

Anyhow, surely I do not express ambition that among the few names that dropped I mentioned the all pure Russian composers. There were also Kalinnikov, Dargomizhsky (love both), Gretchaninov and many others. However, I do not consider Taneyev as a person who had pure Russian sound. I’ rather see him as a bypass between Russian music to Scriabin.
