As the Soviet Union's foremost composer, Shostakovich's status in
the West has always been problematic. Regarded by some as a
collaborator, and by others as a symbol of moral resistance, both
he and his music met with approval and condemnation in equal
measure. The demise of the Communist state has, if anything, been
accompanied by a bolstering of his reputation, but critical
engagement with his multi-faceted achievements has been patchy.
This Companion offers a new starting point and a guide for readers
who seek a fuller understanding of Shostakovich's place in the
history of music. Bringing together an international team of
scholars, the book brings up-to-date research to bear on the full
range of Shostakovich's musical output, addressing scholars,
students and all those interested in this complex, iconic figure.
