The Sound of Utopia

Michel Krielaars

When Stalin came to power, making music became a dangerous endeavour. Russian composers now had to create work that served the socialist state, and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion. 'The Sound of Utopia' offers a vivid portrait of Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in this climate of terror.
