Shosty stands on its own. Just consider the string quartets. They are the quintessential reference for rainy, overcast themes via shosty's tonal palette which consists of grey, grey and then some more grey. Shosty is my favorite composer because he brings out emotions thru dissonance and the heavy tonal pallet.
I liked shosty long before I read of his background and context.
All this said, to each his own. I don't like Mozart , but love shosty.
