Since I'm preparing "Adagio from Limpid Stream", I've been doing quite a lot of research into the ballet itself. While I haven't been able to find much information regarding Limpid Stream, I've found two very interesting Shostakovich sites:

1) The Shostakovich message board... looks exactly like this one!
http://www-itp.unibe.ch/~ruefenac/wwwboard/wwwboard.html

2) Music Under Soviet Rule - Shostakovichiana... this site has enough info and resources to occupy someone for weeks. ALSO contains evidence in the form of quotes by such people as Maxim Shostakovich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and Mtislav Rostropovich that serve to lend authentication and truth to Volkov's 'Testimony'. Ian MacDonald also discredits Fay for her blanket rejection of 'Testimony'. You must check this site out!
