Shchedrin Suite

A frank conversation with the brilliant classical composer Rodion Konstantinovich Shchedrin about his 90-year journey. About his wife, faithful life partner and a soul mate, the outstanding ballerina Maya Plisetskaya. About how many times he refused to compromise with his own conscience and with the omnipotent system. About composer creativity as a big secret and a continuous process. About those geniuses with whom fate brought us together: Shostakovich, Rostropovich, Gergiev, Pierre Cardin. And about how the world appears today - from the height of age and experience.
