Actor Ulrich Noethen reads from Julian Barnes' novel about Shostakovich, accompanied by his music - an impressive musical reading.
Musically, the reading will be complemented by the Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor op. 67 and the "Aphorisms" op. 13 by Dmitri Shostakovich, performed by Yuki Manuela Janke (violin), Friedrich Thiele (cello) and Onutė Gražinytė (piano).
The event takes place as part of the International Shostakovich Days Gohrisch.
