Download or read book Shostakovich written by Laurel E. Fay and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Download or read book Dmitri Shostakovich written by John Riley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-11-26 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Shostakovich and Stalin by : Solomon Volkov
Download or read book Shostakovich and Stalin written by Solomon Volkov and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Music illuminates a person and provides him with his last hope; even Stalin, a butcher, knew that.” So said the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, whose first compositions in the 1920s identified him as an avant-garde wunderkind. But that same singularity became a liability a decade later under the totalitarian rule of Stalin, with his unpredictable grounds for the persecution of artists. Solomon Volkov—who cowrote Shostakovich’s controversial 1979 memoir, Testimony—describes how this lethal uncertainty affected the composer’s life and work. Volkov, an authority on Soviet Russian culture, shows us the “holy fool” in Shostakovich: the truth speaker who dared to challenge the supreme powers. We see how Shostakovich struggled to remain faithful to himself in his music and how Stalin fueled that struggle: one minute banning his work, the next encouraging it. We see how some of Shostakovich’s contemporaries—Mandelstam, Bulgakov, and Pasternak among them—fell victim to Stalin’s manipulations and how Shostakovich barely avoided the same fate. And we see the psychological price he paid for what some perceived as self-serving aloofness and others saw as rightfully defended individuality. This is a revelatory account of the relationship between one of the twentieth century’s greatest composers and one of its most infamous tyrants.
Download or read book Shostakovich written by Brian Morton and published by Haus Pub.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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’.
Book Synopsis Dmitry Shostakovich by : Pauline Fairclough
Download or read book Dmitry Shostakovich written by Pauline Fairclough and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dmitry Shostakovich was one of the most successful composers of the twentieth century—a musician who adapted as no other to the unique pressures of his age. By turns vilified and feted by Stalin during the Great Purge, Shostakovich twice came close to succumbing to the whirlwind of political repression of his times and remained under political surveillance all his life, despite the many privileges and awards heaped upon him in old age. Through it all, Shostakovich showed a remarkable ability to work with, rather than against, prevailing ideological demands, and it was this quality that ensured both his survival and his musical posterity. Pauline Fairclough’s absorbing new biography offers a vivid portrait of Shostakovich. Featuring quotations from previously unpublished letters as well as rarely seen photographs, Fairclough’s book provides fresh insight into the music and life of a composer whose legacy, above all, was to have written some of the greatest and most cherished music of the last century.
