Summary:

Examines the effect of fundamental political upheaval on the music of Béla Bartók, Dmitri Shostakovich and Witold Lutosławski. All three composers actively embraced the climate change in Eastern Europe and, despite adverse pressures, found a way to develop their own musical language in works of triumphant originality and power.
