TEATRO SALLE PLEYEL IN PARIS
When i was a younger man in the 1980s i didnt understand or like this Symphony although i loved Shostakovich. Now im 69 years of ago. Oh, do i get it now. This a giant if a symphony by a giant if a composer. Love it. But whats with the toothpick? Perfect performance. You know Mahler would be proud of this. Im amazed at the harmonic language in this throughout.
The beginning is so powerful, it’s at least 200 years ahead of its time, this is super modern, it’s not even 21 century, it’s like those sounds satellites pick up from stars and planets, it sounds like an organ yet it’s a whole orchestra, genius at its finest!
Did you know the organ was made to resemble the sound of a orchestra
not ahead of its time at all, gerardo... but very late romanticism... which doesn't spoil your opinion on this work.
I like it too
Sometimes I think 'beautiful' and 'modern' are mutually exclusive in classical music, but indeed, as TempodiPiano writes: this is far from modern. This symphony has been dubbed 'a film score without the film', which is pretty accurate. You'll find similar 'sound tapestries' in film scores. You'll find much more modern Shostakovich in his later string quartets and perhaps symphony no. 14.
Yes and no. In the early twentieth century, Robert Hope-Jones developed a new type of pipe organ using electrical technology to draw "stops" at various octaves from one rank of pipes. Thus, an impressive stop list could be fabricated from relatively few ranks of pipes. This innovation was utilized by the Wurlitzer company to create theater organs which definitely were meant to resemble an orchestra. These were used in movie theaters during the "silent" era to create "sound tracks" for silent movies, as well as to provide entertainment before and after movies.
However, the pipe organ as an instrument predates what we think of as orchestras by approximately 1,500 years. The ancient Romans created an instrument called the hydraulis. This was a pipe organ in which the wind pressure was kept steady by forcing water out of an inverted vessel by air pumped into it. This air fed the pipes which were played by a sort of keyboard. Usually these were very loud instruments and were used in outdoor settings like arenas. Churches started having organs by about 900 C.E., according to Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies@@whiskey9553
@@tmjcbsif my music was called a film score without the film, I'd be insulted.
I. Adagio (The Palace Square) 1:13
II. Allegro (The 9th of January) 16:09
III. Adagio (Memory Eternal) 33:24
IV. Allegro non troppo (Tocsin) 43:56
What a masterpiece. This symphony is built like a rock. The adagio is made of sentences played by one or several instruments and every one of those sentences is essential and preparing the next one. The allegro tells story which reached a climax led by the percussions, then sorrow comes.
My God! I swear. I LOVE that piece. Probably in my top 3 favorite pieces of All Time. Only an Absolute Genius could hear, and commit to paper such a perfect marriage of rhythmic and harmonic complexity while weaving in allusions to ethnic folk songs. And a fantastic reading of the piece by perhaps the ensemble and conductor best-suited to interpreting it. I’ve heard that piece 100x but it Still gave me chills.
Tiefster Ausdruck tiefster Wahrheit‼️
We’ll said !
What are the other two ?
Music that reflects the horrors and the majesty of human kind. Powerful!
Legendary symphony. 2nd movement is iconic, at least for me
fantastic symphony, I love it too!
The one that signifies the Massacre of unarmed civilians by the cavalry , bloody sunday 1905
Mine too!!!
For me too.

La légendaire symphonie du compositeur en deux mouvements !
Amazing performance. I feel that Russian musicians bring an extra dimension to Shostakovich. This orchestra is marvelous and Gergiev is an extraordinary conductor.
Gergiev is like a priest‼️
@@hendrixxxm637 as far as music ic concern only
Für mich einer der sensibelsten und durchgeistigsten Dirigenten, ja ein Hohepriester, der das Spiel zum Weiheakt macht.
Und wenige musikalisch Werke erschüttern mich derart tief (bis in's Schmerzhafte hinein) wie Schostakowitschs' Elfte.
Mit großem Dank neige ich mein Haupt demütig vor Komponisten und Dirigenten‼️
Maravilloso gracias
this symphony is very powerful i get emotional every time i hear it
I think this is my favorite symphony; only learnt of it several weeks ago, but its one of the few I listen to where I enjoy every single part. [I'm not primarily a classical music connoisseur]
Well, if Anybody who appreciates Rock Music could hear the last movement and not agree that Shostakovich ROCKED, well, I don’t know about their sanity. The 2nd movement too.
I heard conductor Michael Palmer say he hoped Shostakovich's music would one day be played and regarded the way we regard Mozart today.
He was correct.
Oh no... i have been tired of Mozart for years now. Shostakovich never tires.
Incredible!!
Thanks so very much for posting these incredible performances.
Bellísimo
Браво!
Extraordinary performance of an under-rated work. There are 4-5 symphonies of Shostakovich that I absolutely adore, but I think this one is my favorite. The Finale does what a great finale should - brings everything together and leaves a resounding emotional impact. Bravo maestro!
Bravissimo‼️
러시아 혁명을 알게 된 후 이 곡을 다시 들으니 모든 전개가 이해가 되었습니다.
멋진 공연 잘 보았습니다.
피의 일요일… 우리에게도 비슷한 근현대사가 있어서 더 이입되는 곡이네요
The toothpick conductor
Successor of Shostakovich I mean Valery Sviridov devepoed the theme in Sviridov's masterpiece the time forward

Gods work
Hier à la Philarmonie de Paris , concert exceptionnel! Renversant! Emouvant! avec la Philarmonie tchèque et Semyon Bychkov!
Mais qui souffle périodiquement dans cet enregistrement ? Le chef ? On entend très bien le souffle au casque. Par ailleurs, c'est très bon , même dirigé avec un cure-dent , ce ui est rare
I think that's the smallest conductors baton I've ever seen. It looks like a toothpick.
It is one
I have NO idea what that's about; a pretty silly affectation as far as I'm concerned. One could transmit more through one's empty hands. I don't know what it adds.
I think I heard from somewhere that he used to conduct with just his hands and then his critics criticized him for not using a conductor's baton. I believe he is getting back at his critics with just using a toothpick.
Here is another of his performances conducting with a toothpick Bolero. Excellent.

Every time I hear the percussion from 28:39 onwards, I think it's going to launch into the Thunderbirds theme.

One of the best parts !

This symphony is often described in a negative way as cinematic. So what? Music is an art form, we either respond to a work or we don’t. The more we hear the more discerning we usually become, however that doesn’t preclude a liking for something just because it may not fit a musicologists view. To quote the great Thomas Beecham - “A musicologist is someone who knows all about the theory of music but can’t hear it”. Tommy at his best 😂
What a work. Certainly one of the wildest things Shostakovitch ever has written. And very difficult to perform. I was following with the score and I think, this is not a criticism of Gergiev by the way
,and I obviously can't do it better, but the second movement should have had a bit 'tighter' conducting. Anyway:it's a beast of a work and any live pergormance is probably tentative. (The influence of Mahler - - and Bartok- is obvious by the way.).

Herr Gergief, schlage nicht nieder. Auf zum Taktstock! Jedes Schwanken,Jedes Zogern ist der Verrat an der Musik. Binden wir noch einmal, was die Mode streng geteilt!
Thar’s Their Signarure Piece, I think. The Pinnacle of a Mid-century historically informed Soviet -era piece performed by the Right Orchestra uunder the Right Maestro. No One could do it better.
Plenty have done.
@@IntelligentArtefact plenty havent realistically but allright
Although a Putin's friend Gerghiev Is one of the finest Shosta's performer😊The orchestra at the top
Gergiev is a Russian patriot. A man with a soul and a brain. Your western silly prejudices are not welcome.

28:38 does anyone else agree with me that this is somewhat the right tempo? I think it should go just a tiny bit faster, but this is approximately my preferred tempo for this section.
I think this is the perfect tempo. Most performances I've heard of this piece slow that section way down, like trying to reign in a stampeding horse. I almost always see anxiexy in the conductor's face as if the wheels are about to come off the wagon when the snare drums kick in. I think any faster and you'll lose the power of the sweeping strings right before the snare drums stop.

Who is the percussionist who plays snare drum?
Отличный выстрел.
This is my favourite symphony, by any composer, and this is a GREAT performance. Valery looks like he's just woken up after a hard night on the turps. And I want to know why he's conducting the orchestra with a toothpick?? Maybe he left his baton in a bar the night before?
he's conducting the orchestra with skill, talent, gravitas, and years of great understanding of the man whose music he is conducting ... the little toothpick is there to hide what a great man Gergiev is
@@pravemet4427 Thanks and I'm sure you're right, he certainly seems to be really in touch with the music, and he's extracted a great performance from the orchestra! As an ex-muso, I've seen people use a conventional baton (which you can see in your peripheral vision as you focus on the written part) and I've seen people conduct with bare hands (which is ok if the orchestra are professionals and just need guidance on the dynamics). Not sure why he'd use a teeny tiny baton though 😀
Gergiev directs with his hands, looks, facial gestures, the toothpick is an accessory
Does anyone know the piece used for the introduction for this video?

😏🙄🥺 If I'm the fly in the ointment, it's because of my passion for Shostakovich and my admiration for Valery Gergiev. But compare this cycle to far lesser readings, and you'll hear within minutes: this just won't do. What we're being presented with is a minor travesty of a composer's testimony, his life of suffering and one of the most shocking eras of the Twentieth Century. But how?
It's what you might feel is a trivial thing; but it has huge consequences. It has to do with a use of dynamic limiters, so extreme in this case that a row of woodwind instruments can produce nearly as much belt as a full orchestra with brass. A celeste can make almost as much noise as full timpani. If you think I exaggerate: listen to key passages, and hear for yourself. The momentous climaxes of "Babi Yar" mean nothing; and the sly or blustering dialogues of the Fifteenth become a monotone. The twilight coda of the Fourth is not the whimper with which meaning dies, but a trite afternoon jog in the park.
Where's the harm, if music is domesticated for TH-cam's cosy suburban audience? Well, try the performance of the Eleventh Symphony (which commemorates the horrors of 1905) and what's presented has been made so sanitised, so bland, that it's barely worth the time of day. This is not a massacre but a storm in a teacup knocked over by your pets. Shostakovich's music commemorates a lifetime in which he saw his neighbours eating dogs and there were rumours of corpses in the St Petersburg streets being cannibalised. The first performance of the "Leningrad" was blasted out on mighty loudspeakers to bamboozle and demoralise the Nazis. It worked. It worked spectacularly - and there are other TH-cam recordings in which you can hear why.
If the recording producers for what should have been this great occasion want everything instead to be squashed flat for easy listening: let them loose instead on the Complete Works for Banjo. Mezzo-forte for our mezzo-forte lives, one gathers?
I think you're right and I agree. Strange sounds coming from somewhere. Maybe someone blinking their eyes, but amplified by 6 or 7 orders of magnitude?
What’s the piece at the beginning?

Что-то у Гергиева совсем не заладилось с ударниками. То велит заткнуться после каждого удара, то вообще колокола опустили
Вот уж действительно! Ничего Гергиев не понимает в музыке и управлении оркестром! Не то что ты! Вот у кого ему следует поучиться! Может пожалеешь мужика и дашь ему несколько уроков музыки, чтобы человек не позорился так на публике! Мне просто интересно, откуда берутся такие?
音质差了点
Why ABOUT 90% of composers are men?. Almost universally.
Same reason that 98% of the best musicians are men.

Tell that to the families of the dead , Ukrainian and Russian ! Nothing 'holy' about the bestial slaughter of innocent civilians or the barbarism of rocket attacks on children's hospitals and shopping malls or people fleeing war at railway stations ! Your comments are both inappropriate and highly offensive and I only hope you live long enough to learn the foolishness and callous stupidly of your attitude. This work does not seek to glorify war or its perpetrators...quite the opposite. Shame on your soul, if you possess one.
@@milesfarrimond2445 What do you think the Nazis in Kiev have been doing to civilians in Donbass since their coup d'état in 2014? 14,000 ethnic Russians murdered. Things don't happen in a vacuum. There is a reason Russia invaded.
I, french , with pole origins and french resistants from my maternal great mother swear, to support Ukrainian
It's about 1905, the year of the uprising of workers and peasants led by the Bolsheviks. You write about the war of the bourgeois states. Aren't you ashamed to fool people?
whoa.....leave the soul alone when you talk about russian music or literature, which the majority of west has outlawed (i guess it is in defence of democracy)

I don't find it amusing that Gergiev is a Putin apologist.
Or perhaps he just doesn't want to get poisoned.

there are supposed to be bells at the end playing two notes in a 3 note sequence but its not played in this concert.
