Summary:
Sets the composition of
Shostakovich
's most famous work against the tragic canvas of the World War II Leningrad siege and the years of repression and terror that preceded it. The story of the cruelties heaped by the twin monsters of the 20th century, Stalin and Hitler, on a city of exquisite beauty, and of its
no
less remarkable survival. Weaving
Shostakovich
's own story and that of many others into the context of the maelstrom of Stalin's purges and the Nazis' brutal invasion of Russia, Leningrad: Siege and Symphony is a magisterial and moving account of one of the most tragic periods of the twentieth century.
