I think it's Karen Khachaturian.

Anyway, shame on me for forgetting Grazyna Bacewicz, whose music I heard
originally on Polish LPs and, at one time at any rate, could be found on
Olympia and Koch CDs.  If Bartok is a great composer, then so is she.  Of
course, by "great" I mean "I like her music as much as I like Bartok's
music," rather than some sort of "natural standard" of greatness.

Anybody know Vaughan Williams's student Elizabeth Maconchy or Holst's pupil
Jane Joseph? Maconchy has written some fine string quartets and a marvelous
English "Moldau" called "Proud Thames," among many other things.  I have
heard absolutely nothing by Joseph, but Havergal Brian admired the music
greatly.
