In this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we catch a glimpse of the legendary Soviet composer, Dmitri Shostakovich, immersed in a moment of profound contemplation. It is the year 1917, and backstage at the Leningrad Philharmonic, Shostakovich listens intently to the inaugural performance of his monumental 12th symphony. With furrowed brows and eyes fixed on an unseen horizon, Shostakovich's pensive expression reveals the depth of emotion he experiences as he hears his creation come to life. The photograph captures not only a musician but also an artist who has poured his heart and soul into every note.
