Dimitri Schostakowitsch

This unique Shostakovich monograph is now available in a third, slightly revised edition. "Shostakovich became a witness to his time—the Soviet Union has fallen, but his music is still there to tell the story. If you engage with Shostakovich's music not only with your heart and ears, but also with your mind, you will learn a great deal about the lives, thoughts, and desires of the people in the former Soviet Union. You can feel 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. But its greatness is evident in the fact that it also has an effect on listeners who have no idea about any of this." Bernd Feuchtner
