Julian Barnes's fifty-year relationship with music recently culminated with his novel The Noise of Time, the central character of which is Shostakovich. Today Julian takes Shostakovich and his battles with Stalin as the starting point for a musical journey through works by Mozart, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Bach.
