Composer born I do recall in 1834 (7)

I believe the answer is:

borodin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'recall in 1834' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'composer born i do' is the wordplay.
'composer' is an anagram indicator.
'born'+'i'+'do'='bornido'
'bornido' is an anagram of 'BORODIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for borodin that I've seen before include "Russian composer (Prince Igor)" , "Russian composer, d. 1887" , "Noteworthy chap" , "Prince Igor composer, d. 1887" , "Russian composer, Aleksandr Porfirevich (1834-87)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
