Semyon Barmotin (26 January 1877 – 5 April 1939) was a Russian pianist, composer and teacher. He  studied with Mily Balakirev, then at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. He himself taught at his alma mater in 1923-25, then known as the Petrograd Conservatory. Barmotin was long obscure, not being mentioned in any music dictionaries until 1989, but a 2019 world premiere recording of some his important piano works has gained him positive critical notice. Much of Barmotin's music is for solo piano; he also wrote three operas, as well as other orchestral and choral works.

Born in Wales, Christopher Williams is a music graduate of Cardiff University and now leads a busy and varied professional life as a pianist, composer, conductor, teacher and arranger. He is currently a staff pianist at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and pianist for both the BBC National Chorus of Wales and BBC National Orchestra of Wales, with whom he has performed at the BBC Proms and recorded for the Chandos and Hyperion labels. Influenced by his first teacher and mentor Walter Ryan, Williams developed a keen interest in the performance and recording of works by undeservedly neglected composers.
