An incredibly popular pianist, she lived on the fringes of Soviet society and had close friendships with such towering figures as Boris Pasternak, Pavel Florensky, and Mikhail Bakhtin. Legend has it that she was Stalin's favorite pianist.0 Yudina was at the height of her fame during WWII, broadcasting almost daily on the radio, playing concerts for the wounded and troops in hospitals and on submarines, and performing for the inhabitants of besieged Leningrad. By the last years of her life, she had been dismissed for ideological reasons from the three institutions where she taught. And yet according to Shostakovich, Yudina remained "a special case. . . . The ocean was only knee-deep for her."0 In this engaging biography, Elizabeth Wilson sets Yudina's extraordinary life within the context of her times, where her musical career is measured against the intense intellectual and religious ferment of the post-revolutionary period and the ensuing years of Soviet repression. 600 10 $a ?I?Udina, Mari?i?a. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000080795966. 650 0 $a Women pianists $z Soviet Union $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pianists $z Soviet Union $v Biography. 650 7 $a Pianists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01063351 650 7 $a Women pianists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738522 651 7 $a Soviet Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210281 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032931.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011758.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=203A191ABFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
