Testimony
This is the powerful memoirs which an ailing Dmitri Shostakovich dictated to a young Russian musicologist, Solomon Volkov. When it was first published in 1979, it became an international bestseller. This 25th anniversary edition includes a new foreword by Vladimir Ashkenazy, as well as black-and-white photos.
“Testimony changed the perception of Shostakovich's life and work dramatically, and influenced innumerable performances of his music.”
