"Mazullo knows how to empower a performer’s analytical and imaginative drive. [...He] brings the music to life as a veritable carnival of expression, and gives listeners and performers the means to sample, test, question, connect, refine, judge, and endlessly reconsider all the kinds of expression that the work offers. What a joy this is!" —James Parakilas, Bates College "An outstanding piece of work—illuminating, attractively written [...and] stimulating. It is a book that will be welcomed by scholars of Russian music, readers interested in the cultural life of the Soviet Union, and interested listeners to a remarkable body of repertory."—Michael Steinberg
