Description

Product Description As the Soviet Union's foremost composer, Shostakovich's status in the West has always been problematic. Regarded by some as a collaborator, and by others as a symbol of moral resistance, both he and his music met with approval and condemnation in equal measure. The demise of the Communist state has, if anything, been accompanied by a bolstering of his reputation, but critical engagement with his multi-faceted achievements has been patchy. This Companion offers a starting point and a guide for readers who seek a fuller understanding of Shostakovich's place in the history of music. Bringing together an international team of scholars, the book brings research to bear on the full range of Shostakovich's musical output, addressing scholars, students and all those interested in this complex, iconic figure. Review '… the Companion is unique, challenging and highly informative - a valuable addition to the Shostakovich-focused bookshelves and an entertaining read …' DSCH Journal'This is unequivocally Shostakovich for the scholar and scholarly reader.' Reference Reviews Book Description A collection of essays investigating the life and work of the complex, important and iconic composer Shostakovich. About the Author Pauline Fairclough is Lecturer in Music at the University of Bristol.David Fanning is Professor of Music at the University of Manchester.
