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 new starting point and a guide for readers who seek a fuller understanding of ShostakovichÆs place in the history of music. Bringing together an international team of scholars, the book brings up-to-date research to bear on the full range of Shostakovich's musical output, addressing scholars, students and all those interested in this complex, iconic figure.
- The most comprehensive and up-to-date English-language study of Shostakovich's creative output - Chapters are written by leading scholars in the fields of music, film and literature, reflecting the broad range of the volume - Chapters are organised by genre (symphonies, operas, string quartets), with a separate section on reception, allowing easy navigation for the reader
