With “Outcast”, the Dutch string quartet Matangi breaks a lance for artistic freedom and musical expression – and now also against a senseless war. The three Soviet Russian composers composed music that ran dangerously counter to the tastes of the regime under which they lived. Shostakovich kept a packed suitcase ready in case he was arrested by the KGB. Schnittke’s work was viewed with suspicion and his performances were regularly prevented. In addition to his musical work, the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov is also known for his political commitment.
