In 1936, Shostakovitch, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera.

In 1936, Shostakovitch, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovitch reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music.
Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovitch's career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.

老肖的音乐,是对世界的最高诚实
让艺术只成为艺术,让艺术只属于艺术
一生都在等待电梯的男人
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
肖斯塔科维奇是出生在列宁格勒的苏联音乐天才。虽然他是20世纪最伟大的作曲家之一,留下了很多优秀的交响曲和弦乐四重奏,但由于身处一个特殊的极权统治时代,他的作品也备受争议:他的音乐究竟是权力豢养的忠犬,还是对权力隐晦的嘲讽? 《时间的噪音》看起来是一部关于肖斯塔... (展开)《时间的噪音》:也是英雄,也是懦夫
那个深夜等在电梯口的中年人
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
照片里的老肖戴一副圆框眼镜,眼睛与你看过去的目光错开,瘦削深沉,像一个哈利波特。 音乐里的老肖不安,诡谲,无处安放又琢磨不透的激情,藏在嘈杂与不和谐的乐章。 故事里的老肖,有一天忽然说,“请在我们脏的时候爱我们,干干净净的时候谁都喜欢”,话语广为流传,彼情彼... (展开)怎样才能剔除噪音听到主旋律?

有很多警句穿插在文中,很适合摘抄。 语调非常悲伤。

感情分加一星。将集权控制下艺术家的生存状态描绘地淋漓尽致:终其一生,肖斯塔科维奇都害怕伸过来抓取的手。这是一个一辈子被锁链捆绑的人,一个他人口中的懦夫,作者心中的英雄。最后,在所有的荣誉、羞耻、幻想、徒劳、讽刺都貌似远去后,在肉身终将殒灭的这个世界,会不会有一天——只是有一天——让音乐的归音乐?巴恩斯的笔法一直是严肃的,写精神上的苦难,但不消费苦难。三幕剧用了相同的开头,即使都写到恐惧,也是不同层... 感情分加一星。将集权控制下艺术家的生存状态描绘地淋漓尽致:终其一生,肖斯塔科维奇都害怕伸过来抓取的手。这是一个一辈子被锁链捆绑的人,一个他人口中的懦夫,作者心中的英雄。最后,在所有的荣誉、羞耻、幻想、徒劳、讽刺都貌似远去后,在肉身终将殒灭的这个世界,会不会有一天——只是有一天——让音乐的归音乐?巴恩斯的笔法一直是严肃的,写精神上的苦难,但不消费苦难。三幕剧用了相同的开头,即使都写到恐惧,也是不同层次的心理状态。结尾的月台与开头呼应,「a triad」是嘈杂时代中飘忽的光,读到这里不禁有些泪目。One to hear/One to remember/And one to drink. 最终,还是有人去倾听,思考,铭记。 (展开)

感谢TwoSetViolin让我带着enough classical music knowledge to enjoy this book!这是本结构工整的小说,三次重复的回环,一次比一次更加深刻地探讨Honesty,Power和Art的关系。在当下阅读总有新意。

巴恩斯镀金一般优美流畅幽默又有动感的语言真的是我的最爱,总是能那么轻而易举地勾勒出或讽刺或动人心酸的情境:全书最喜欢中间讽刺西方的hypocrites那里(她们或是因为被接待的不错觉得苏联生活也没那么差嘛,或者是感觉有些不可置信:“你怎么不去为你觉得正义的事情牺牲呢”,因为牺牲的不是问问题的人嘛)还有结尾处:在苏联的高压下,主人公在月台上用肮脏的伏特加和两个陌生人碰杯中却还能听到悠扬清脆的tria... 巴恩斯镀金一般优美流畅幽默又有动感的语言真的是我的最爱,总是能那么轻而易举地勾勒出或讽刺或动人心酸的情境:全书最喜欢中间讽刺西方的hypocrites那里(她们或是因为被接待的不错觉得苏联生活也没那么差嘛,或者是感觉有些不可置信:“你怎么不去为你觉得正义的事情牺牲呢”,因为牺牲的不是问问题的人嘛)还有结尾处:在苏联的高压下,主人公在月台上用肮脏的伏特加和两个陌生人碰杯中却还能听到悠扬清脆的triad,这就是能超越茫茫时代噪音的光吧,即使主人公的生命中为了家人为了自己做了那么多让步,生活上是懦夫(生活的部分真的好心酸)但或许等肉身,荣誉,耻辱甚至那些主义都烟消云散最后只有超出时代噪音的音乐,也是主人公最美的一部分还能被人们听到吧;只有三星是因为对苏联和男主肖斯塔科维奇不是很了解,所以看得有点懵 (展开)
