Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad by M.T. Anderson

5.0

A great biography and history of both Shostakovich and the city in which he lived. The author has a nice conversational tone that takes you through the events and brings a vitality and humor to Shostakovich and other figures in his life. Fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time.
