| | Dmitri Shostakovich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shostakovich's works are broadly tonal and in the Romantic tradition, but with elements of atonality and chromaticism. | | | It is certainly true that Shostakovich borrows extensively from the material and styles both of earlier composers and of popular music, with the shrillness of Mahler and the vulgarity of "low" music prominent influences on this "greatest of eclectics". | | | Shostakovich himself left behind several recordings of his own piano works, while other noted interpreters of his music include his friends Emil Gilels, Mstislav Rostropovich, Tatiana Nikolayeva, and Maria Yudina. |

| | Shostakovich: Cello Concertos No.1 and 2 - A Good-Music-Guide Review |
| | Stalin died in 1953, five years after the First Congress of the Composers' Union, where Shostakovich was the most prominent of a number of composers condemned for 'Formalism' in music (a term whose fluid indefiniteness was politically convenient for Shostakovich's enemies in the arts and music bureaucracy of the Soviet Union). | | | Mstislav Rostropovich, to whom Dmitri Shostakovich dedicated both his cello concertos, once quoted the composer as saying that he had studied all the world's great concertos for cello and orchestra, and that his favorite of them all, perhaps surprisingly, was Saint-Saëns' First Concerto, in a minor. | | | Even before beginning work on his own first concerto for cello, Shostakovich spoke to Slava of his enthusiasm for Prokofiev's Symphony-Concerto for cello and orchestra; Shostakovich owned the record, and he had played it so many times that he had quite worn it out. |

| | Maxim Shostakovich, having spent the first 43 years of his life in the USSR and having had the privilege of conducting many of his father's scores during that time, would likely have been familiar with both his father's intentions and with the musical techniques used to communicate them. | | | Such is the case with Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, whose music and writings have been used to both support and refute the Regime's ideologies. | | | Shostakovich worked in a milieu which insisted on As own official aesthetic ideology. |

| | Shostakovich continued to create music through periods of repression and liberalization; he died at age 68 in 1975. | | | More important, Maxim said, it was clear that the opera was his father's "most beloved music child. | | | In 1948 he was condemned again, and for five years he wrote little besides patriotic cantatas and private music (quartets, the 24 Preludes and Fugues which constitute his outstanding piano work). |

| | DSCH 12 Shostakovich CD Reviews |
| | Shostakovich seems to be amusing himself by using clichés and parodies of the genre. | | | Shostakovich's selection of six of her now bitter, now satirical lyrics is patently self-referential in centring on the vicissitudes of the creative life. | | | It is not surprising that Shostakovich, especially in the antepenultimate year of his life, was drawn to Tsvetayeva's deeply cynical, melancholic lyrics. |

| | Music under Soviet rule: Chronology of the Debate (II) |
| | Shostakovich's mature idea of art, in contrast to the egoistic traditions of Western modernism, was based not on alienation but on service. | | | But Shostakovich did not wish to rot in prison or in a cemetery; he wanted to tell people, through the power of his art, his pain and his hatred of totalitarianism. | | | Unlike the musicians of the Third Reich, Shostakovich was never in a position to flee his captors... |

The trio came alive with the rapturous, luxuriant play of Maxim Vengerov who moves like a fish in the water in this romantic piece. |

| | Shostakovich witnessed many other artists forced into silence, either by death of work camps, which were worse than death. | | | Although he was a lover of Berg and Stravinsky, and a defendant of avant-garde compositions of all kinds, Shostakovich was remembered as the author of both published essay in the United States entitled, "Modernists are Anti-Social Acrobats," as well as an article in Pravda, denouncing the twelve tone music of Schoenberg and condemning Stravinsky's music. | | | When asked if his father would have written music in a different style if he had had the freedom that Maxim Shostakovich had now, he admitted that it would be difficult to guess if DDS would have composed differently. |

Describing the work's fall from grace in January 1936, Taruskin writes: "Thus was Dmitri Shostakovich, perhaps Soviet Russia's most loyal musical son, and certainly her most talented one, made a sacrificial lamb, precisely for his pre-eminence among Soviet artists of his generation... |
