World War Two
Published 5 Aug 2021Leningrad’s Dmitri Shostakovich has risen from a child prodigy to be one of the Soviet Union’s most celebrated composers, having rescued his career from Stalin’s interference along the way. Desperate to defend Russia after the German invasion, he fights back, not with a rifle, but with music.

World War Two

Some might say that Shostakovich is a coward or a hypocrite for working for the very regime that had so brutally condemned him. But, this compromise saves him from artistic ruin, and perhaps even the horrors of the Gulag. More importantly, for Shostakovich, it means he can do his part in defending his beloved Russian homeland.
