Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitry Dmitriyevich Shostakovich is a Soviet composer and pianist. He is considered one of the great composers of the twentieth century, with a unique harmonious language and historical significance attributed to his years of work under Stalin. Shostakovich gained fame in the Soviet Union under the auspices of the Soviet Chief of Staff Mikhail Tukhachevsky, but subsequently had complicated and difficult relations with the government. However, he received state titles and awards and served in the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR and the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. As a polyphonic artist, Shostakovich has developed a hybrid voice that incorporates a variety of musical techniques into his works. His music is characterized by sharp contrasts, grotesque elements and an ambient tone; he was also strongly influenced by the neoclassical style developed by Igor Stravinsky and by the late romanticism of Gustav Mahler. Shostakovich's orchestral works include 15 symphonies and six symphonies.
