THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies
Synopsis The lives of the last two great symphonists in history, Gustav Mahler and Dmitri Shostakovich, took place in very different times and circumstances. The former was more famous as a conductor than as a composer during his lifetime; the latter was first subjected to Stalinist censorship and later exalted as a creator of socialist music. Mahler influenced the work of Shostakovich, who died of lung cancer, as a result of being an inveterate smoker.
