Title
Classics For The Masses: Shaping Soviet Musical Identity Under Lenin And Stalin
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Musicologist Pauline Fairclough Explores The Evolving Role Of Music In Shaping The Cultural Identity Of The Soviet Union In A Revelatory Work That Counters Certain Hitherto Accepted Views Of An Unbending, Unchanging State Policy Of Repression, Censorship, And Dissonance That Existed In All Areas Of Soviet Artistic Endeavor. Newly Opened Archives From The Leninist And Stalinist Eras Have Shed New Light On Soviet Concert Life, Demonstrating How The Music Of The Past Was Used To Help Mold And Deliver Cultural Policy, How Undesirable Repertoire Was Weeded Out During The 1920S, And How Russian And Nonrussian Composers Such As Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Bach, And Rachmaninov Were Canonized During Different, Distinct Periods In Stalinist Culture. Faircloughs Fascinating Study Of The Evershifting Soviet Musicalpolitical Landscape Identifies 1937 As The Start Of A Cultural Cold War, Rather Than Occurring Postworld War Two, As Is Often Maintained, While Documenting The Efforts Of Musicians And Bureaucrats During This Period To Keep Musical Channels Open Between Russia And The West.
