Description: Testimony by Dmitri Shostakovich, Solomon Volkov Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An astounding self-portrait covering the whole of the great Russian composers life (1906-1975). Publisher Description This astounding self-portrait covering the whole of Shostakovichs life (1906-1975) was prepared in collaboration with the distinguished Soviet musicologist Solomon Volkov. With the composers consent, the manuscript was smuggled out of Russia - but Shostakovich, fearing reprisals, stipulated that the book should not appear until after his death.Ever since its publication in 1979 it has been the subject of controversy, some suggesting that Volkov invented parts of it, but most affirming that it revealed a profoundly ambivalent Shostakovich which the world had never seen before - his life at once triumphant and tragic.Either way, it remains indispensable to an understanding of Shostakovichs life and work. Testimony is intense and fiercely ironic, both plain-spoken and out-spoken.
