Why did Dmitri Shostakovich have a suitcase ready and why did he go to bed fully dressed? Why was he fired as a conservatory teacher? Why wasn’t he allowed to operate his own lift?
The Soviet regime has completely dominated the life of this great composer. Still - or maybe: because of this - great music came from his pen.
Experience the stress and enjoy sparkling, moving, humorous and virtuous moments in the music of Russian composers. With texts by Julian Barnes (in Dutch)
