103 Shostakovich - His Life and Music

Art, Culture, Music, Tra | Available (Membership Required)

The life of Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich is inextricably connected with the history of his native country, Russia and the Soviet Union, and major world events of the twentieth century. In no other composer’s work do we find such a mirror of contemporary Soviet history in music. Professor Greenberg will address his genius and his legacy in another of his DVDs from The Great Courses, media production series.
