Книга: Shostakovich Dmitri Dmitrievich «Testimony»

Testimony

Серия: "-"

This astounding self-portrait covering the whole of Shostakovich's life (1906-1975) was prepared in collaboration with the distinguished Soviet musicologist Solomon Volkov. With the composer's consent, the manuscript was smuggled out of Soviet 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 indispensible to an understanding of Shostakovich's life and work. Testimony is intense and fiercely ironic, both plain-spoken and outspoken.

Shostakóvich, Dmitri (Dmitriévich)

(25 sep. 1906, San Petersburgo, Rusia–9 ago. 1975, Moscú, Rusia, URSS).

Compositor ruso. Formado por unos padres intelectuales e influido por el tumulto político de su juventud, a la edad de 13 años fue admitido en el conservatorio de San Petersburgo. Su Sinfonía No 1 (1924–25) concitó la atención internacional por su maestría convincente en una obra de gran escala y su gama expresiva que abarcaba un lirismo natural, la sátira amarga y un heroísmo magnífico. En sus siguientes sinfonías y obras escénicas experimentó con tendencias de vanguardia, como en la ópera Lady Macbeth de Mtsensk (1932; revisada como Katerina Izmailova). En 1936, la censura de Lady Macbeth por parte de las autoridades soviéticas lo condujo a adoptar un estilo muy diferente, de carácter serio, elegíaco y directo que apelaba al público. Su Sinfonía No 7 (1941), aunque fue concebida durante la guerra como retrato de la invasión alemana, se convirtió en un símbolo de patriotismo. Tras la reprobación de su música por parte del gobierno en 1948, otra vez abrumado, comenzó a verter sus sentimientos más personales en obras de cámara, en particular, en los 15 notables cuartetos de cuerdas. Con el "deshielo de la guerra fría de finales de la década de 1950, compuso dos sinfonías tardías abiertamente personales, entre ellas la No 13 (1962). Es recordado como el mayor compositor ruso después de Igor Stravinski.
