Dmitri Shostakovich (September 25, 1906 – August 9, 1975) was a renowned Russian composer from the Soviet era, known for his complex relationship with the Soviet government. His music faced official condemnation twice in his lifetime, yet he remained one of the most popular Soviet composers, receiving various accolades and state awards. Shostakovich's style evolved from avant-garde to romantic, heavily influenced by Mahler, while incorporating atonality and stark contrasts. His significant works include fifteen symphonies and string quartets, operas, concertos, and a substantial amount of film music, characterized by emotional depth amidst political pressures.
