Lyatoshynsky was the leading Ukrainian composer of his generation, writing symphonies in the tradition of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, works that have been described as philosophical dramas, reflecting the stresses of the period of their composition. His highly personal musical language reflects Russian tradition and the music of his native Ukraine.
