@William Nordmark The blond,, Fedor Belugin. He is also a professor I think, at a university. Where I don't know. just something I remembered reading somewhere.
He wrote this quartet after he was forced to go on tours of the concentration camps in nazi Germany in 1946. He wrote 5 movements, each being a part of a story. •Blithe ignorance of the future cataclysm Rumblings of unrest and anticipation Forces of war unleashed In memory of the dead The eternal question: why? and for what This particular movement is a combination of concentration camps themselves and the bloody battles of WWII taking place. Being aware of this you can hear subtle themes that point to this, subtle and twisted versions of klezmer themes passed between the instruments. This quartet is dark.
This is absolutely jaw-dropping !! So much energy radiating from all four of you ! This pieces really makes sense when you see it played so passionately.
I love that Shostakovich wrote so many pieces, because when I discover a “new one” I’m always hooked. This performance especially has me in awe. Incredible upload, thank you!
All four of them are amazing! I’ve never seen a cello bow move so fast before, and the violist is so expressive with his movements and his playing. Truly a top notch performance from all of them.
Oh My God. It's an inspiration to me. I'm a painter and it's an expressionist painting. I can listen to it all the time while I' m ainting. ❤❤❤ Brasil. 2024
Oh man, ten stars! I'm with Jonathan Een Newton on this one. This is simply wonderful. I'm not familiar with the David Oistrach Quartet. Are they world class and I just have missed them? Yes, the work itself is at least as impressive as the impassioned playing. Dwight Newton, I never heard you say that about listening to quartets (and presumably other chamber music as well), and it surprises me. Interesting. Although I have no regrets over not being a string player myself, sometimes I do feel left out in what is really the greatest Western music ever written, disappointed that I can't participate in playing it. Unlike you, I'm thoroughly smitten by chamber music of all types for the very reasons you cite. It's because of the way a few people working together over time (ideally four in my aesthetic) are able to grow and ultimately create magic that caused me to drop out of grad school, abandon all other things, and pursue my band in 1967. That it never worked out in the long run for us doesn't mean that I feel any differently today about the theories of music making that I had then. I still long for the experience. Thanks for posting this, Jonathan!
I think they're a relatively new group and it looks like they don't really tour outside of Europe, or Russia, even. That's probably why we don't know about them, but I imagine they'll make it over eventually. They're too good not to.
We played this in chamber orchestra. our conductor didn't conduct us, considering it is a quartet. all I can say is it is a lot of work, and a lot of fun. they do great.
Hair is actually pretty thin and can be seen through As a person who has had long hair his entire life I can assure you, also it's funny how women have traditionally had long hair for centuries and yet no joker comes along with that kind of talk.
This is professor Pichugin, pupil of David Oistrakh, who played many times quartets of Shostakovich in front of the Author. May be (why not?) he was also teacher of those young guys.
1:48 That's the strongest viola performance of this piece I've ever heard.
The violist is so awesome
Nadia Jo yeeessssss
Это Андрей Баранов, и он действительно очень хорош в музыке Шостаковича.
Wait that’s illegal
@@forshmakoff violist-это альтист....
@@dorothynemeth9675 why not?
Everybody talks about the violist,but nobody talks about the cello solo at 2:16
I like how the second violinist is just chilling with his violin while the other musicians are giving their souls to play this piece
So - heavy metal was originally a genre for string quartet - invented by Shostakovich. Stunning work - so powerful - gloriously so.
More like heavy wood.
He probably could have done something interesting with that format.
Agree with you 🎸 👌
Honestly, some of Vivaldi's work wasn't too far off from metal, either.
Yes but death metal though, not heavy metal. Heavy would never use such an uneasing and intricate harmony.
This is a REAL Shostakovich!!! Just incredible!!
F**k yeah! 🤘
I think you find the heaviest Shostakovich in his quartets and symphonies.
Violist´s hair fits this music. Excellent
Hahaha ha, but yeah.
THE VIOLIST IS A GOD
@William Nordmark The blond,, Fedor Belugin. He is also a professor I think, at a university. Where I don't know. just something I remembered reading somewhere.
So metal
@@Cattrix999 at Moscow State Conservatory
Perhaps the best recording ive ever heard of this piece
This changed my life, i will play like this
Upbow retakes at forte? I strongly advise against it.
Kallate wey
Yo i think this is the best Shostakovich performance ive ever seen in my life, pure gold literally
The most confronting and perhaps the greatest composer of the 20th Century. A suitable interpretation
I misread "confronting" as "comforting" at first and was going to suggest a psychiatrist. 🤣
@@FritzTheCat_1030Lol
He wrote this quartet after he was forced to go on tours of the concentration camps in nazi Germany in 1946. He wrote 5 movements, each being a part of a story.
•Blithe ignorance of the future cataclysm
Rumblings of unrest and anticipation
Forces of war unleashed
In memory of the dead
The eternal question: why? and for what
This particular movement is a combination of concentration camps themselves and the bloody battles of WWII taking place. Being aware of this you can hear subtle themes that point to this, subtle and twisted versions of klezmer themes passed between the instruments. This quartet is dark.
Is there any of his work that isn't dark? The ghosts of Grand Guignol will always regret not having access to this music.
Can you post a link to his "forced tours of concentration camps" - I can't find anything other than that he did know of them and was shocked
GULAG!!!
This is when you wonder are wars worth the music that comes out of them?
The level of energy all four of them have really makes this outstanding.
I had never listened to this quartet (David Oistrakh) before, but damn, they're amazing.
Have been my new favourite for a couple of years. Just fabulous interpretations!
Can’t stop watching this.
Closest thing to contolled madness I've ever heard - bravo!!!
This is absolutely jaw-dropping !! So much energy radiating from all four of you ! This pieces really makes sense when you see it played so passionately.
I love that Shostakovich wrote so many pieces, because when I discover a “new one” I’m always hooked.

Incredible upload, thank you!
This piece is making me feel something I cannot express trough words
I've been listening to Emerson's version for years, this just blew my mind.
This is the best Shostakovich I've ever heard....
I can see why they're called Oistrakh Quartet...especially Mr. First Violin
The face and bow say it all
All four of them are amazing! I’ve never seen a cello bow move so fast before, and the violist is so expressive with his movements and his playing. Truly a top notch performance from all of them.
Oh My God.

Brasil. 2024
Brutal as fuck.
This is how you play Shostakovich!
Superb music, superb playing, superb video!
Brilliant performance by the quartet and who ever did all the editing!
Вчера был на концерте! Восторг! То что Вы делаете, невероятно прекрасно!!! Отдельное спасибо за Шостаковича, дважды сыгранного на бис!
Classical music is so relaxing
Thank you,guys!!!...this is really Sostakovich,not what is generally played.....
Emerson now has some pretty stiff competition for the spot of my favourite recording of this piece, and this movement in particular!
1:51 omg i love this violist
1:49 I love this so much. It's just awesome!
what a classic Karajan generation visual impression ! love it !
Браво браво браво.
Holy crap, that's an amazing performance.
This is the best recording ive found on youtube of this movement
1:03 is painful and I love it
Shostakovich never disappoints. Never
really really very good
yes

Me, mentally prepping myself to go confront the mouse in my kitchen by listening to this.
It is sad that performances like this get merely a couple thousand views, while Miley Cyrus and One Direction get millions. Great Job!
lol I’m reading this in 2023…good ol one direction haha
Metal before Metal was ever played.
Just thank's. Beautifull❗
Браво 💥💥💥💥💥
the look on their faces describe the tone of this song
это здорово!!!! великолепный квартет,сила таланта все преодолеет,Браво Андрей!!!!!!если Родина тебя не признает ,значит что то с Родиной не так...
Totally electric and maniac !!! BRAVISSIMO !!!
This goes hard
Perfect.
los AMO!

Viola solo😍
Talk about stage presence
i love this music!!!!!!
very good! bravo!
Increíbles, son la continuación del Cuarteto Eder!! Bravo
Awesome performance !!!
3:22 that's some high pizz for a cello jk
This is so huge!
BRAVO!
いつ見ても3匹の猛獣と猛獣使いのおんじで面白い、最高😂やはり四重奏の手綱を握っているのは2ndVn
I love the second violin
Amaaaazing
Meravigliosi !!
Second violin is so calm
Yet, he occasionally sounds like a bomb...
쇼스타코비치 현악사중주 3번 3악장
시작부분 불협화음
마디55-64 1:04
박박 긁는 느낌
카테 : 현악콰르텟
And to think that only microscopic cohort of the world population listens to chamber music. Mind you playing this music is an even more amazing fix.
So much power I just died
My son saw this and was like
:why are they so crazy?
Me: :p
We played this in chamber orchestra. our conductor didn't conduct us, considering it is a quartet. all I can say is it is a lot of work, and a lot of fun. they do great.
whered u get the sheetmusic from
"Classical music is so relaxing" they said
Currently am working on this piece and trying to enter St. Paul with it. This recording sounds so much better though! I mean, they’re pros...
Bravissimi, ma anche... Complimenti al tecnico mixer per l'effetto cattedrale di Gandalf ;-)))
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Packed with energy...like a 150mm ready to shoot.
ROCK N' ROLL!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!
Good ol Shosty
❤
genios
2:30 cellist looks as though he's carving a turkey with butter knives after drinking a pot of coffee.
you guys can chill soviet russia's gone
Kinda ironic if you knew about Shostakovich himself lol
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
Son todos unos loquillos...
Does anyone know if there is a recording somewhere of this ensemble playing the other movements?
Can the violist see through his hair?
Hair is actually pretty thin and can be seen through
As a person who has had long hair his entire life I can assure you, also it's funny how women have traditionally had long hair for centuries and yet no joker comes along with that kind of talk.
pazzesco!!!!
Shostakovich's somewhat "metal" music.
Wow violist,!!!!!
I think the second violin is going to have a heart attack
Just cause he's old? Stupid joke.
This is professor Pichugin, pupil of David Oistrakh, who played many times quartets of Shostakovich in front of the Author. May be (why not?) he was also teacher of those young guys.
Thank you for this insight!! So cool.
where can one find the full performance?
Is that "The World's Most Interesting Man" on Violin?
It's Fedor Belugin !
dammmmmnnnnnn
The first part is in seven!
I don’t know why the first violinist reminds me of the drummer at the wrong gig🤣
фантастика
They changed 2° violin. Coincidence? I think Not (he’s great btw)
The third stand is viola
