Una obra mestra dedicada al compositor rus Dmitri
Shostakovich. Barnes ens guia elegantment a través de la trajectòria de la carrera del músic, alhora que recorre l'evolució tumultuosa de la Unió Soviètica. El resultat és el retrat d'un home fascinant i una brillant exploració del significat de l'art i el seu lloc en la societat. Una història de col·lisió entre l’art i el
poder, del compromís humà, de la covardia i la valentia.
