Does anyone know a musician called " destankovich " or similar ?

Question

i think he died in 1975 . he is a classic musician . i heard about him on the radio along time ago . so he must be famous !
it's just i can't spell it right, or maybe there's some letters missing or maybe it's over-spelled ?!

Answer 1

I think you are refering to Dmitri Shostakovich.
