The Conductor
Carl Prekopp reads an excerpt from Sarah Quigley's novel about Shostakovich writing The English Poets project.
"It seemed he'd been waiting all his life for the knock at the door.."
In an extract from Sarah Quigley's novel, all eyes are on Dimitri Shostakovich.
He's sleepy, bumbling around the kitchen, trying to make his morning porridge.
A knock at the door has unsettled him, but that's the least of his concerns.
Where is his wife, Nina? What is happening in his city, Leningrad?
And what about the work he has to do?
