Marina Frolova-Walker's fascinating history takes a new look at
musical life in Stalin's Soviet Union. The author focuses on the
musicians and composers who received Stalin Prizes, awarded
annually to artists whose work was thought to represent the best in
Soviet culture. This revealing study sheds new light on the
Communist leader's personal tastes, the lives and careers of those
honored, including multiple-recipients Prokofiev and Shostakovich,
and the elusive artistic concept of "Socialist Realism," offering
the most comprehensive examination to date of the relationship
between music and the Soviet state from 1940 through 1954.
