Shostakovich. Marshal of Soviet Music
29.99 €
This unique biography of Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975), based on a vast array of previously unknown documents, reveals the knowledge, skills, and abilities that enabled this child, born in Tsarist Russia to a family of honorary citizens, to rise to the heights of power and become part of the Soviet Union's elite. Drawing on a wealth of archival and historical sources, the book traces the musician's often perilous path to the throne of Marshal of Soviet Music, through the trials of the Revolution and Civil War, the harsh 1930s, the Great Patriotic War, and subsequent years. Readers will discover a new version of the life and work of this "artist-citizen," a "loyal son of the Communist Party," who was immediately hailed after his death as "a great composer of our time."

This book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Soviet history and culture.
