Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (25 September [O.S. 12 September] 1906 – 9 August 1975) was a Soviet-era Russian composer and pianist who became internationally known after the premiere of his First Symphony in 1926 and thereafter was regarded as a major composer.
As a member of the Czech Trio he had toured Russia and had tried out this trio for the composer who pronounced the performance "all wrong" but in the following year the cellist joined forces with Shostakovich and Oistrakh for a performance at the 1947 Prague Spring and a recording followed soon afterwards.
