Dimitri Schostakowitsch

This unique monograph on Shostakovich is now available in a third, slightly revised edition. “Shostakovich became a witness to his time—the Soviet Union has fallen, but his music remains to tell its story. If one engages mind Shostakovich’s music not only with the heart and ears, but also with the mind , one learns much about the lives, thoughts, and longings of the people in the former Soviet Union. One senses the utopia and the lost illusions, the fear and the hope. His art has captured history in a way that language alone could not have done. Its greatness, however, is evident in the fact that it also moves listeners who are completely unaware of all this.” Bernd Feuchtner
