Description

BBC R3 - David Pownall's 'Master Class'
Music arranged by John White
Directed by Martin Jenkins
Broadcast October 27, 1986
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

The Russian equivalent to the McCarthy/HCUAA witch hunt in
the arts was led by Marshal Zhdanov and was popularly known
as 'Zhdanovshchina' (Zhdanov's Terror).

Its object was to harness the arts to the state's needs, which
at that time meant helping the people come to terms with the
20,000,000 dead in the 'Great Patriotic War'.

To this end bouts of public 'self criticism' were organised. This play
describes one of these events (in 1948) which Prokofiev and
Shostakovich attended where they were subjected to 'criticism'
by Stalin and Zhdanov.

This was a real event ... see below and second file for the facts.

Cast
Timothy West - Stalin
Peter Kelly - Prokofiev
David Bamber - Shostakovich
Jonathan Adams - Marshal Zhdanov
