2.Shostakovich and Stalin: The Extraordinary Relationship Between the Great Composer and the Brutal DictatorShostakovich and Stalin: The Extraordinary Relationship Between the Great Composer and the Brutal Dictator
from Alfred A. Knopf
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
Utterly fascinating tale of an extraordinary moment in history. I can't think of another place in modern times when a political leader took such an interest in the arts, albeit, for political reasons. How fascinating it is that a dictator - it isn't conceivable in a democracy - would become obsessed... more info

Customer Review:
Story of a Friendship: The Letters of Dmitri Shostakovich to Isaak Glickman is a remarkable collection of Shostakovich's letters.

4.A Shostakovich CasebookA Shostakovich Casebook

Price: $39.95

Customer Review:
This book is so informative. You get many different Shostakovich experts talking about what information exists out there. Incredibly informative about Shostakovich, but also about what information is reliable if you would like to do further research.
I highly, highly recommend this book,... more info

5.Shostakovich Studies (Cambridge Composer Studies)Shostakovich Studies (Cambridge Composer Studies)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $130.00

Customer Review:
This book is indispensable if you are really interested in Shostakovich. It contains an important essay by Richard Taruskin--and pretty much every essay by Taruskin on Shostakovich is important--detailed treatment of subjects such as Russian use of modes, Shostakovich's vocal music, the second piano... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $65.00

Customer Review:
Fay does a wonderful job here presenting Shostakovich's life and career the way they really were; not the way some of us would have wanted to happen. Reality over fantasy. Frankly and realistically speaking, Shostakovich was never a dissident. He had countless opportunities to escape the Soviet... more info

from Princeton University Press

Customer Review:
If I were asked to name a book that would give a complete portrait of Dmitri Shostakovich this would be the book that I would name. Elizabeth Wilson's Shostakovich: A Life Remembered is a collection of remembrances of the composer by many people: family, friends, colleagues, admirers and some who... more info

Customer Review:
Over the course of the last few months I have been nursing an ever increasing love of Shostakovich. This is the first book I have read on the master and, in light of other readings I have done (Volkov, Fanning, MacDonald, Wilson)this turned out to be a good primer. Its strength lies in that (outside... more info

10.Shostakovich ReconsideredShostakovich Reconsidered
from Toccata Press

Customer Review:
I bought this book a while back, and kept it for almost a year before I read it. I wanted to give the book my highest level of attention. Well, it was worth the wait. Shostakovich Reconsidered has a wealth of information for any serious (and not-so-serious) Shostakovich scholar. My only criticism of... more info
