Stormy Applause is adapted from the memoir of Rostislav Dubinsky, first violin of the Borodin Quartet. In 1953, as Stalin lies in state, four young musicians find themselves catapulted from idealistic students to unwilling cultural ambassadors of the Soviet Union. For Rostik and his closest friend Valia, every step forward brings new pressures: fame, censorship, KGB minders, and the gnawing question of how far they can compromise without betraying the music they love. Witty, moving and suspenseful, this is a story of friendship and survival - where every performance is political, and every note could cost everything.
