54:56 here begin the best 40 seconds of camera editing ever
NO. It is 38:00 plus
I'm speechless . . . I am without speech. Shostakovich would be . . . well, amazed, I guess.
Check out 35:56 .
Somebody watched a lot of MTV in their youth 😀
32:02 It's so perfect too🙃
Just want to say these WDR/Bychkov Shostakovich series in the 2000s have a great camera work in terms of capturing the important moments of individual instruments. We can see that the editors have a thorough understanding of the scores. But I must say that some visual effects are making audiences feel dizzy.
The video editors need to realize, not as much here, that the music doesn't need any help. All we need and want to see is how it's done. Symphonic videography should help reveal the performance mystery, never seek to entertain on its own. When the orchestra members are cued to smile at each other is when I turn it off, I don't care how good it is, it isn't any good if they have to do that when playing.
@@barney6888I agree, those VFX were rather annoying.
It's part of the modern tradition to never let 5 seconds go by without an editing effect - either a cut or a zoom. Anything. I fail to see how sudden close-ups of any individual group or player add anything to the music. I suppose it proves that the editor/producer can read a score. What it means is that someone is making musical decisions for the listener/viewer. Not necessarily a good thing. I suspect that the video-makers just can't resist - when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
The bucolic touch, tinged with melancholy of this symphony causes an abyssal diving movement in my subconscious so that I end up feeling apathy before the problems, not as an escape but as an exercise of self-knowledge 🔥
Great Interpretation. The editing is art by itself even if not liked by all as a concept. One cannot ignore the effort (and the star-trek style creativity) in interpreting the music through images.
Semyon Bychkov, as always, so clear, precise with musical and intellectual balance. The orchestra follows with bravura and engagement. A pleasure!
Thanks, we appreciate it!
The video portion really follows the tension well. I love it!
The final minutes of this symphony are simply amazing.
PLEASE DO THE 13TH SYMPHONY!!!! There is a very severe lack of good recordings on TH-cam, and by that I mean none. I am confident that Mr Bychkov and the orchestra can deliver a stunning performance of that amazing work.
There is a great one by Gergiev
I love the video effects. For those who don´t: It IS possible to hear music without looking! Ask Stevie Wonder... This is a great performance no matter you watch and/or just listen. Be happy it exists.. many excellent recordings of it exist. Kitajenko with Gürzenich, Cologne, is a very good one, too.
This interpretation is pure crap, nothing to listen here.
Jesus, that zoom on the English Horn player at 18:28... almost going molecular level. Dont like the cinematography but great performance from the orchestra as usual.
Some investigations says that this symphony was written in 1943, it means still during the second world war, and the continuation of the 7th the famous "Leningrad " symphony, it is more a introspective battle in the soul of the composer, it is the first time I hear it, and it has been a new great experience for me, the resistance continues and it seems not to have an end . It has some musical elements of the 5th. Great symphony and very good interpretation.
Glad you like it and thanks for your insight.
It is absolutely one of Shostakovich's greatest and profoundest works. I am fortunate to have discovered it in my teens, and fifty years later it remains a searing emotional journey.
7:48 Quiet part | 11:16 flute build up | 11:34 building | 11:41 raising | 11:52 thump thump | 12:04 screech scary
12:15 military scare | 17:21 trumpet to start end | 17:32 | 17:38 suspense hold end notes
32:43 Mischievous | 46:50 Flute | 55:41 repeat of earlier |
Entertaining and educational. Something for everyone in a Shostakovich symphony.
Thanks!
These are great recordings and performances.
Thank you! We're really glad that you like our performance 🤗
great cinematography as always!
This photography is great!
Thank you! 😊
Seitdem ich Mravinski's 80er Aufnahme mit dem Leningradern gehört habe warte ich immer darauf mal eine Aufnahme zu finden wo die Trompeten im Trio des 3. Satzes genauso die Sau rauslassen. Das hier ist sie endlich. Alle anderen klingen immer so zahm.
Was die Bildregie angeht... ich weiß was damals versucht worden ist. Ist ja auch nicht das erste Mal, das jemand versucht hat Konzertaufnahmen "aufzupeppen".
Unnötig und ablenkend bleibt es aber immer. Das ist schon zu Karajan's Zeiten krachend gescheitert.
The 8th is remarkably similar in its opening to the 5th.
The exposition and development build-up of the 1st movements of both symphonies are almost identical.
There seems to be controversy regarding the editing of the video. The audiovisual world is also an art, although not as prestigious, with a short history, so those few years that have elapsed (since 2001) that are almost nothing in the classical musical tradition, are a long time in terms of evolution of audiovisual language, not so much in what can be done technically as in what is recognized as suitable for the music it serves.
We see that they try to reinforce the elements of the music itself by transplanting them to the video (tempo, rhythm, character). It seems that time has not passed in favor of this type of language (certainly redundant), but I personally appreciate it, if only to see something different in that stagnant and often deliberately immobile and dogmatic world of classical music, with its inevitable etiquette and its "do's" and "don'ts".
Yes, you really have to keep in mind that this was made over 20 years ago and maybe see it more as a document of its time.
Well yes, something like that also happens with the sets in the opera, which we need to change often, to respond to passing tastes, fashions, while the music is still there, the same or almost.
Even so, I still see this 'document' as something more than that, it seems to me that the message of the music is clearly reinforced, despite some occasional moments, perhaps somewhat exaggerated (but isn't Shostakovich's music?)
I always loved that video and still do, thank you! @@WDRKlassik
❤
This is excellent. (I'm finally discovering that I love Shostakovich, I just don't know it yet.)
Thank you! 😄
44:21 Mighty clarinet solo enters the pasacaglia.
Good performance but not too keen on the video special effects.
Parabéns a orquestra e ao condutor pela performance maravilhosa!!
Mas essa edição é P A V O R O S A!!!!! Acaba com todo e qualquer clima que apenas assistir um vídeo com as câmeras paradas e cortes suaves poderiam proporcionar! Cortes sem sentido, transições abruptas e horrorosas... 💀😶🌫️
Darei like no vídeo, única e exclusivamente, por causa da performance.
23:24 is when I jump out of the seat
34:35 I like how the string passage is played more as a staccato. Kurt Sanderling also did it this way. Mostly it's played rather legato.
Hmm WDR might also have the DSCH Violin concerto No.1 performed by Maxim Vengerov and Semyon Bychkov....Would you please release the video of that performance...
Why is this edited like a 90's action movie trailer
what is this piece about ?
I was surprised by Han-geul(Korean alphabet) because always I see English explanations
A very fine performance! Sorry, but I am not a fan of the editing. Yes, the laser focus on the soloist(s) is very impressive. However, many of the special effects are distracting. It’s an amazing effort, but tone it down a bit and let the music remain the focu please.
...(vagabundo Latino):
No se nada de música, pero, pero..Estas creaciones musicales, interpretadas con gran misterio que desconozco su inspiración. Hacen que sin hechar mano de posimas vegetales, en cada nano sonido ver pasar galaxias, que compiten con la creación de los mal llamados dioses.!?!?!?!?.
Osea, este ejercito de músicos, ojala lo sepan, que han mutado 82 minutos en dioses...y luego en perros vagabundos (léase, perros que se gravan en sus mentes, solo los minutos que se hacen dioses).
Editing is interesting
It help people understand the piece more
But I personally think it doesn’t quite fit the music itself
Porqué será, que el camarógrafo muestra con tanta cercania, al director de la orquesta...?...

The spinning orchestra and checkerboard clips are totally unnecessary. The video editors must lead an unexciting life. Back to the music......
At 55:06 I expected a shot of a mushroom cloud to be superimposed over the orchestra. It’s just embarrassing. It doesn’t matter that this was done 22 years ago. It’s still tasteless. DSCH must be rolling in his grave laughing hysterically.
Editing at 15:30 extremely silly
Fantastic performance but those video “special effects” and absurdly close close-ups are ridiculous. What? Shostakovich can’t stand on his own? We have to add cartoons now?
The superposed and out-of-focus visuals were very distracting and unnecessary.
After all, the symphony was written for musicians, not cinematographers.
Disturbing visual WHY?
Because they did this at that time, it's long ago.
Had to turn it off and go watch the Leningrad with Mravinsky. The artsy fartsy video work was at best infantile.
Non capisce niente delle musica il direttore.
