Stalin’s death in 1953 allowed for an increasingly liberal and less repressive environment, and Shostakovich released a tremendous amount of work that he kept silent during Stalin’s control. He became an icon, and by the time Breshnev was in power, Shostakovich was left alone to compose his inward-looking music. Session Four explores the trauma caused by Shostakovich joining the Communist Party in 1960, and the inward-looking music that Shostakovich produced in post-Stalin USSR.
Greenberg is accompanied by the internationally acclaimed Alexander String Quartet, who will perform selections from Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8.
For over 20 years, Robert Greenberg has presented his music lecture series in concert halls, universities, and boardrooms nationally. An accomplished composer with over 45 works to his name, Greenberg has also recorded best-selling audio courses for the acclaimed Teaching Company.
