'A terrifying and unhappy book...' The Guardian 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.
