Table of ContentsReviewsBy placing Schnittke, a Russian of German heritage, and Silvestrov, a Ukrainian who studied in Moscow, on equal footing, Schmelz has compellingly blown apart ideas of Russian superiority, even if only implicit, within the Soviet musical apparatus. Schmelz's nuanced take on these twomen offers a refreshing riposte to stories that privilege the metropoles of Moscow and Leningrad. * Gabrielle Cornish, Twentieth-Century Music * Schmelz's original, in-depth research provides valuable insight into musical life in the Soviet era. * D. Arnold, CHOICE Connect, Vol. 59 No. 8 * An essential and highly readable book for anyone with an interest in Russian and Soviet musical culture. * Gramophone * Sonic Overload is a brilliant, bracing book that challenges conventional wisdom about the Soviet Union's place in contemporary history. In vivid evocations of music, people, and ideas, Peter J. Schmelz shows that polystylism is key to understanding the late Soviet experience — and our own. * Lisa Jakelski, Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester * Part biography, part aesthetic inquiry, Sonic Overload is — like polystylism itself — vastly more than the sum of its many scintillating parts. Schmelz's book is a wholesale revision of Soviet music history after Stalin. Its significance for future research and listening is simply monumental. * Kevin C.
