With this
portrait the Moscow
musicologist traces the
career of Rodion
Shchedrin from his days
as a chorister to
international fame as a
composer. While the main
emphasis is on analysis
of his works of the 1980s
and 1990s, Cholopova also
considers Shchedrin's
achievements as a
pianist, as president of
the Russian Federation of
Composers, as a
politician and as a human
being. A picture emerges
of a versatile composer
who enjoys
experimentation and yet
who always remembers the
needs of the listener in
the second half of the
20th Century.
