Excerpt from Dmitri Shostakovich: The Life and Background of a Soviet Composer Ernest Newman writes: In a first biography of any great artist a good deal-that concerns his opinions of Other people and his relations with other people has to be dis creetly touched in with the lightest of strokes, if only because there are intimacies and susceptibilities on all sides to be considered.

Dmitri Shostakovich by John Riley Pdf

Of all the major Soviet composers who worked in the cinema, the most prominent was Dmitri Shostakovich who, in addition to over a hundred works for the stage and concert hall, wrote scores for almost forty films. Yet despite his reputation this work, when not completely overlooked, has been poorly judged by the same criteria as his other music. Likewise, while much attention has been paid to Soviet film, the crucial role played by the scores is all too often forgotten. This, the first book in English to look at Shostakovich's cinema career, discusses every film he scored, looking at the films themselves, tracing their relationship to the changing concerns and policies of the Soviet state and examining how the music works in context. John Riley also gives a fascinating account of the composer's life. This highly readable book will be welcomed equally by devotees of the composer; those interested in Soviet culture and cinema; and general film music enthusiasts.

Shostakovich by Laurel E. Fay Pdf

"Shostakovich's life is a fascinating example of the paradoxes of living as an artist under totalitarian rule. Alone among his artistic peers, he survived successive Stalinist cultural purges and won the Stalin Prize five times, yet in 1948 he was dismissed from his conservatory teaching positions, and many of his works were banned from performance. He prudently censored himself, in one case putting aside a work based on Jewish folk poems. Under later regimes he balanced a career as a model Soviet - holding government positions and acting as an international ambassador - with his unflagging artistic ambitions."--Jacket.

Shostakovich by Brian Morton Pdf

Dmitri Shostakovich was the most popular Soviet composer of his generation. Internationally esteemed, his reputation has increased since his death in 1975. He is now widely considered to be the last great classical symphonist.He wrote his First Symphony aged only nineteen and soon embarked on a dual career as concert pianist and composer. His early avantegardism was to result in the triumph of his 1934 opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Though first highly praised, Shostakovich would suffer from a complex and brutalising relationship with Stalin and the Soviet governments that followed him. In spite of this persecution his Seventh Symphony was embraced as a potent symbol of Russian resistanceto the invading Nazi army in both the USSR and the West.Though his later years were marked by ill health, his rate of composition remained prolific. His music became increasinglypopular with audiences as he established himself as ‘the most popular composer of serious art music in the middle years of the 20th century’.
