Dmitri Shostakovich Violin sonata op.134 I. Andante 0:00 II. Allegretto 10:15 III. Largo 16:51 David Oistrakh Sviatoslav Richter Live recording, Moscow, 3.V.1969
I love this piece. My father had an LP recording of it (this is years before the Internet), so I listened to it as a child and it made a strong impression on me. Listening to it now again after decades is a great experience. Strangely, I remember it quite well, despite the passage of time. It's disturbing in a good way. It reflects a kind of passionate discontent of the soul.
@@user-bw7se2zg7b Прошу Вас простить меня. Скрипка здесь не звучит напевно, сладко. Её тембр не совсем чист. Ойстрах говорил, что женственность скрипки иногда нужно усмирять. Ещё раз, простите меня за резкость.
This beautiful sonata is deeply Russian and ir was played in this live recording from 1969 in Moscow by two great Russians, David Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter. Both are counted among the greatest virtuosi of the world during the XX century. Superb music, good sound. Thanks.
@@davidfloren5339 Thanks for your comment. This musical piece is, I believe, characteristic of Dmitri Shostakovich and to a degree of Sergei Prokofiev. Shostakovich was criticized during Stalin government as rupturist and decadent bourgeois. Of course, now he is enormously appreciated in Russia and by the world over.
I agree that this is great music superbly performed by Oistrakh and Richter. But they were both Ukranian. i made the same mistake when I was discovering these great musicians back in the 1970's. We probably should more correctly have called them "Soviet musicians".
@@peterantaki6747 Wow, I didn't know that -- thanks! I guess they are called "Russian" because Ukraine was part of the Russian empire at the time. So maybe calling a Ukrainian a "Russian" was probably like calling a Texan an "American." Jascha Heifetz is Lithuanian, but even Wikipedia calls him "Russian".
Die idealste Kombination des Komponisten, des Violinisten und des Pianisten. Diese perfekte live Aufführung wird bis heute noch nie übergestiegen. Die UdSSR war wirklich ein musikalisches Wunder im 20. Jahrhundert. Danke fürs wertvolle Hochladen!
Shostakovich was truly a genius with a heavy burden: to share the pain of his nation under Communism through music but in such a way that would not result in his own death by Stalin's hand. Every note, as I hear it, reflects this pain, this burden, this sorrow. It is such a hauntingly beautiful and also sorrowful and angry piece. I love it.
Cuando chico (hoy 76) escuhce a Ositralh en el Colon junto a mis padres (mi padre era violinista) y desde ese momento recuerdo a ESE VIOLIN, exultante, maravilloso, y claro como el sol (desde Argentina) y en encima su Tzigane de Ravel siempre me parecio fuera del tiempo Es decir etern.
Эта запись с мировой премьеры в Большом зале. Произведение лучшего композитора мира исполняется лучшим скрипачем мира и лучшим пианистом мира. Таким был в то время русский "музыкальный пейзаж".
Только такая музыка и может противостоять предельно дегуманизированной школе спектральной музыки. Шостакович уже в середине XX века дал своё объяснение человека. Тут в комментах пишут, что эта музыка очаровательна. Это или извращенцы или тупицы. Разве могут быть очаровательны пороки человеческие? Но говорить о них надо!
Read Solomon Volkov`s ”St. Petersburg: A Cultural History”. You will realize that Volkov was a mediocre writer, unable to write ”Testimony” by himself. The text of latter was obviously narrated to him. The narrator’s ”voice” is similar to what we find in Shostakovich music. The case will remain controversial because the book was published posthumously.
This sonata was one of the very last works of Shostakovitch. It has all its charctristics: simple lines, lack of density in the musical material, pessimism sometims sarcastic, but less ans less. He was only to finish the sonata d for viola and piano before dying.
Shostakovich did make some more works after this: the 13th-15th String Quartets, the 15th Symphony, and a few other smaller works besides the viola sonata.
Quelle musique puissante ! J'aimerais avoir un commentaire intelligent à écrire mais, faute d'y parvenir, je me contenterai d'écouter...
Il n'y a pas de mot pour qualifier une telle qualité d'interprétation.....

Как же верно сказано "страстное недовольство души".

Remembering DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) on his birthday !

all that great staccato and syncopated stuff is fantastic. If this is a recognized characteristic of Russian classical stuff, I have no objections!

It appears that Wikipedia is correcting a lot of those errors. V. Horowitz and N. Milstein were also Ukrainian. Hoomeyow!!

Die beide sind perfekt (Von Argentina)
Stimmt! Bedingungslos waren sie unübertrefflich im 20. Jahrhundert.
Шостакович до самых последних своих лет создавал шедевры, такие, как эта соната.
long time shos fan but first time i hear this. now i have something new to listen to for the next six months!
The third movement is so amazing.
..As always - unrivalled!
+berlinzerberus // Yes....as good as it gets for this somewhat impenetrable piece, but re-hearings DO repay the effort. Thsnks for posting!!
you may be interested in listening to his viola sonata- 3rd mov as it shows a lot of influence from the violin sonata.
Oh, brilliant..!unique beauty ~
Для меня - тревожная, недосягамемая, дисгармоничная красота.
Sad about the TH-cam ads, which interrupt each movement and render this impossible to appreciate 😕

La version de référence qui ne sera jamais dépassée
This is really death-doom style within classical music!
That's a good observation. It would fascinating to hear a thrash guitar transcription of this piece.
Reminds me a bit of Prokofiev's Sonata #1, equally great and equally 'infrequently played'
yes I agree with you
Better
11:10 Oistrakh goes nuts
Jack Daniels Haha!! Check out his Stravinsky concerto finale as well!!
(The Devil (a mean violinist) enters the chat)
3.V.1969 - the official public premiere of the sonata!

Neither the beginning to, nor the end of a vicious story.
EXTREMELY COMPLICATED, BUT FASCINATING & VERY, VERY WELL PLAYED.
Being performed at CSO 10/27, w Beethoven Violin Sonata & Franck Violin sonata. Can't wait.
how is the sound of this live, 1969, soviet russia recording so good?

если музыка Шостаковича для вас только повод поговорить об извращенцах и тупицах, то извращенцы и тупицы для вас важнее музыки.
Как зыбь на воде в ветренную ночь.
Isn't it just the best piece of music of XX century?
Sceptics who think that ”Testimony” is fake have never heard op. 134.
??? "Testimony" is clearly fake, although it contains true stories.
Read Solomon Volkov`s ”St. Petersburg: A Cultural History”. You will realize that Volkov was a mediocre writer, unable to write ”Testimony” by himself. The text of latter was obviously narrated to him. The narrator’s ”voice” is similar to what we find in Shostakovich music.

I have heard opus 134 hundreds of times, I have read Testimony once, and it is as fake as Shostakovich's music is not.

Ойстрах может издавать скрипкой больной звук. Здесь нужно играть так и только так.
