Summary

The book . . . includes . . . valuable essays and interviews, which move beyond the scholarly controversy to sketch a nuanced picture of Shostakovich's life under a totalitarian regime. . . . The 'Casebook' contributors compellingly warn of replacing one mask with another, one black-and-white myth with its simple inversion. -New York Times

. . . an important and readable collection. . . . It presents a devastating critique of Volkov's claims and scholarly practices in Testimony. -New York Review of Books
