Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (1906-1975) music, tonal, expressive, and sometimes highly dramatic, has not always been to official Soviet taste.
Short Biography:
He wrote 15 symphonies, chamber music, ballets, and operas, the latter including Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk in 1934, which was suppressed as "too divorced from the proletariat", but revived as Katerina Izmaylova in 1963.
