TWO RUSSIAN MUSICAL GIANTS
Sergei Prokofieff and Dmitri Shostakovich had closely parallel composing careers in the former Soviet Union. Both were alternately lionized and denounced by the government's cultural commissars, yet managed to produce masterworks in virtually every genre of music from art song to grand opera. Their reputations rose and fell with the policital winds, yet even today, long after their deaths, both are pillars of the standard concert repertory. This course will look at their quite dissimilar musical styles and show how each man coped with the twin challenges of musical and political life in a time and place of constant turmoil.
