Dmitri Shostakovich: A Life in Film (The Filmmaker's Companion 3)

Dmitri Shostakovich: A Life in Film (The Filmmaker's Companion 3) By John Riley
2005 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1850434840 , 1850437092 | PDF | 1 MB


Between 1929 and 1970, Dmitri Shostakovich wrote almost 40 film scores of Soviet films, from Stalinist cult epics to classical literary adaptations. His long and distinguished cinema career has hitherto been overlooked. Combining analysis and anecdote, John Riley provides this first account to examine the scores and their contexts in the films for which they were written, the ways in which contemporary events shaped both films and scores, and how he thought about, developed and applied his film music.
