The composer of the music of
Doctor Zhivago,
Kiril Volkov, is Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation, member of the Petrovska Academy of Sciences and Arts, Professor at the Gnesin Music Academy. For the music of Doctor Zhivago he was awarded the Russian prize Magus of Dance (1996).

The first part of Doctor Zhivago after the Boris Pasternak’s novel is up to standards of the classical Russian dance, which best patterns could be found in the ballets of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. The second part is a kind of symbiosis between the traditional folk dance and modern choreographic approaches.
