5.0 out of 5 stars An insight into the mind of Shostakovich, 17 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This new translation of the letters of Shostakovich to his friend, Isaak Glikman, is an outstanding volume which offers genuine insights into the mind of the great composer. Through letters reflecting everyday occurences and mundane events, as well as dealing with the pivotal events in Shostakovich's life, the reader gets 'into the mind' of Shostakovich.
Readers may be interested to know that the correspondance in the book is one-way only, since Shostakovich never kept any letters he received from Glikman, and only letters from 1941 to 1975 are represented - letters from before this date were lost during the evacuation of Leningrad.
This book works best as a companion volume to a biography, such as E. Wilson of L. Fay's books, or as a comparison to the excellent (if controversial) memoirs, 'Testimony'.
