"oh yeah, I listen to classical. It helps me relax"

I wish we germans had a composer who did write music like that in the 30's and wrote a movement portraying Hitler in the same way as Stalin is described here.

I went to a performance of this masterpiece recently with both of my kids, 4 and 2 years old, an old lady came to me at the end and congratulated me for doing a great work at parenting, what an amazing concert, I love this piece

I was in disbelief when I realized my mother (violinist) played in this recording! She especially loved this piece with Haitink. Wonderful to find, good stuff!

Not the reduction we deserve, but the reduction we needed.

Dont even know what the heck I'm looking at

[@mistertornado2303]

I can hear how John Williams must’ve been influenced by composers like this.

[@metodoinstinto]

Shostakovich himself said this movement described Stalin. "Not the USSR under Stalin, but Stalin himself", in his own words.

That's an awesome way of visualising the whole score

[@MrRbjunior83]

Total genius! Very simple “piano” type orchestration with monstrous impact! How many battles in the cinematic history they have similar music, very strongly influenced by this Scherzo!
