Dmitri Shostakovich

1906–1975

View full profile →

Dmitri Shostakovich was a towering figure of 20th-century Soviet music, whose compositions often navigated the perilous currents of political ideology and artistic integrity. His music, characterized by its emotional depth, dramatic tension, and ironic wit, served as both a deeply personal expression and a veiled commentary on the oppressive Soviet regime.
