Reviews
'So much of the material is new that this book is a must for anyone remotely interested in the subject.' (Gramophone) 'Ivashkin has written what is undoubtedly the fullest account to date in any language of Schnittke's life and work, and one which is unlikely to be surpassed.' (London Magazine) 'As a series, Phaidon's 20th Century Composers has brought remarkable variety and a welter of information, both necessary and delightfully trivial. Intended both for the general reader and for the more enthusiatically musical...' (The Scotsman)

Synopsis
Presents a fascinating portrait of Russian composer Alfred Schnittke (1934-98), whose music was inextricably linked to the strictures of life in the Soviet Union, This biography of the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke (b.1934) presents a fascinating portrait of a man whose musical output is inextricably linked to the strictures of life in the former Soviet Union. For most of his adult life in Russia Schnittke's music was powerfully shaped by the frustrations of the Soviet period and he reacted strongly against the ideology of the era. His symphonies lie arguably at the end of the Germanic symphonic tradition, yet each represents a new concept of the genre for the twentieth century. His works reveal the influence of Shostakovich among others, but remain strongly original. Each of his compositions can be understood primarily to offer a unique synthesis of many different influences and styles. The author gives a detailed discussion of Schnittke's music and theories, arguing that the various stylistic elements in his works - his polystylism - may be perceived as part of a new, more universal language.

- 5***1 (53)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI am pleased with the transaction in most ways, so I have marked it as a positive experience. I will specifically note the areas I was not honestly happy with: The fact that the item was listed as in “very good” condition. It arrived with the jacket having 2 torn places. Also there is a sentimental inscription hand written on the inside that had been partially marked through with a pen. - IMO, not considered “very good” condition. Very quick & secure shipping, & fair price. 4 stars out of 5.
