Perfect things doesn't exist. This for sure broke that rule. Truly legendary.
Thank you! 😊
Wow! Yes by far my version, even better than Jansons and Komdrashin
With the only first two notes, you already understand it is a magnificent performance to come.
WDR became one of my favorite classical music channels now. I just wish that clips were not cut too early. I want to see them get applause from the audiences
Thank you, that means so much! 🤍 And thanks for your feedback.
One of those symphonies I love to hear again and again... performed by all different orchestras.
You can hear the space in this performance, especially in the opening of the first movement - it breathes. A truly masterful rendition and I heard things that I have never heard in other recordings. I posted this exact comment 35 minutes earlier, using someone elses computer, not realising I was also using their account.
Thank you!
We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed our rendition 🤗
Jeez. The precision, speed, and power, especially in the last movement. Incredible. 😱 So glad I found this recording!
Thank you very much! ❤
Ok, this is perfection. Tempi, dinamics, phrasing, even the camera work, everything is just so spot on. Love Bychkov: brilliant conducting technique, serves the music, goes after every detail. Bravo WDR ⚡️
Thank you! 🤗
Das ist die beste Auffüheung dieser Sinfonie der Welt!Ich liebe das Orchestra und den Dirigenten Bychkov!🔝👌❤️
Vielen lieben Dank!
Es freut uns, dass Ihnen unsere Interpretation gefällt.
Une cinquième d'anthologie. Bychkov inspiré comme jamais, orchestre magnifique, et que dire de la prise de son et de la mise en images ! Bravissimo!!!
Il est vrai que c'est la meilleure 5ème de Chosta disponible par Bychkov, la version la plus aboutie, mais il est régulièrement de ce niveau, même dans les autres symphonies et dans bien d'autres répertoires !
This is such an exciting performance of the Shostakovich 5th. This music has inspired me since I was teenager with its power and emotional roller coaster ride. I have watched many of the orchestras perform this here on TH-cam but I think this is the most exciting to watch. The camera work is absolutely stunning. The lighting director also should win an award. This video is a real keeper and I shall return many times to enjoy. Bravo to all.
Thank you for your nice words. We are glad that you enjoyed our video so much!
Congratulations on the exceptional recording, camera cuts, flawless audio, Semyon's singular conducting, and heartfelt interpretation. Hugs from Brazil.
Thank you very much! 🥰
I just found this video and wish I had found it when it was first released! This performance tops any performance I have heard. The energy and emotional strength the orchestra musicians create with Maestro Bychkov's direction is absolutely stunning. From the first notes you are immediately engaged in this performance. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for the nice words! 🤗
What an orchestra!
🥰
Please post Semyon Bychkov performing Shostakovich Symphony Nr. 4 and 8. The cinematography by Hans Hadulla is absolutely beautiful!
Good things come to those who wait... ;)
@@WDRKlassik I am very excited! WDR has the most artistic and creative performances in the world!
Thank you :)
@@WDRKlassik , please think too about the n°10 and 11 !!!!! And the mahlerians symphonies, please !!!
@@WDRKlassik They did, thank you so much
You can hear the space in this performance, especially in the opening of the first movement - it breathes. A truly masterful rendition and I heard things that I have never heard in other recordings.
That has to the best ending I have ever heard. The cymbal crashes are spot on and the timpani drums are perfectly in tune. BRAVO
WOW!!!! Bychkov is apsolutely STUNNING. And of coarse ORCHESTER!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!
Camera work is superb❤❤
We're happy that you like it 🤗
I was there during Triennale 2000, amazing concert! I think the Bychkov era in Köln was one of the best periods of the WDR.
His recording of Mahler Symphony No 3 with WDR is simply amazing.
Barshai recorded all of Shostakovich's symphonies with this orchestra.
yup, I have that set too.@@Altonahh10
Great performance and beautifully recorded. So much clarity and transparency. The way of directing the camera's reminds me of Klaas Rusticus. My teacher in multicam directing. Haven't seen that accuracy in cuts and beautiful close-ups in a long time. Dissolves are often mocked, but here the are truly of value 8:38 for example as if stepping though a golden door into an different (sonic) world.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful and powerful
Well filmed. Nice to see the viola bit in the 1st mov at 6.14.
ビシュコフさん指揮ベルリン・フィルの録音よりショスタコーヴィチ5番の激しさが増しています!感情移入が、団員に伝わる素晴らしい演奏になっています😊
Damn!! One of the best performances of this piece!
Thank you!
We're really happy that you enjoy our performance 🥰
I hear this Symphony for the first time as a whole.
First movement with its main theme and glorious transformation technique and special instrumentation (like the glockenspiel at the end, or harp supporting second theme - subtle variation of the first).
Second is a Mahlerian Scherzo.
Third movement tries to hold the quiet lyricism of typical romantic symphony.
Finally fourth...
Although you here simplicity of harmony and texture everywhere, music is not naive or primitive. It's truly masterful response to the cruel Soviet authorities demanding Schostakovich to abandon formalism.
Not glockenspiel, but celesta.
Wow! amazing performance!
Thank you 😊
For more years than I care to quote, my prized recording of this work has been the landmark Mercury release with Skrowaczewski and the Minneapolis orchestra. I think that performance of this work has just been deposed to second place, with this recording taking the honours at a clear first place. And 'clear' is one of the qualities of this performance from Bychkov and the Cologne ensemble. They play with the clarity of a chamber ensemble (helped, of course with the usual brilliance of the audio engineering - at which poimt I should equally compliment the video dirction), but the clarity is in no way impinging on the richness and passion of the reading. My only disappointment is my usual one - the loss or miniscule bite of audience reaction at the end. While this recording was apparently given its TH-cam airing a couple of years ago, it is a very welcome one. So many riches being released (or possibly re-issues?) on TH-cam, what else is coming from the WDR vaults?
Wow! Thank you for your very kind words about our recording! We are honoured 🥰
Hermoso, felicidades ❤
Gracias 🥰
Wasn’t expecting to see MTT on the flute.
WDR and Semyon Bichkov at their best. Amazing 5th. Perhaps the best I've heard in my 82 years.By the way...the clarinet player (superb as the rest of them) must be a twin of Emma Watson...or not?
Fabulous. .....but.... in the finale at about 37:00 the cameras ignored one of the most famous trumpet solos of all time.
Very passionate and fine performance
ビシュコフじゃ!!

耳をつんざく大音響!!!!!!!

exciting
My favourite part is how the conductors face jiggles
What’s the concertmaster's name ?
She is Elise Båtnes. Now she held the concertmaster position in Oslo Philharmonic
A return to Russia? Whether hailing from the former Soviet Union or not, a notable cadre of recent Slavic conductors exhibits a conducting style reminiscent of the Russian Orthodox tradition, as exemplified by the venerable K. Kondrashin. If we may venture to emphasize the term “tradition,” then the early Mravinsky stands out as the quintessential embodiment of this tradition. However, it is the fourth movement of the matured Mravinsky’s rendition in the 1980s that seems to typically diverge from this Russian orthodoxy altogether. In fact, this performance stands as one of his finest achievements, where Mravinsky deftly leveraged the strengths of non-orthodox musicians, including luminaries like Bernstein.
I consider the greatest victory of Stalin to be the fact that when Shostakovich, Maria Yudina, etc. were mentioned, be sure to mention Him. It is unlikely that they dreamed about it and asked someone about it. But all the work is done by musicologists and authors of popular biographies ...
This symphony was a big FU to Stalin…. Especially the last chord of the 4th movement….😂
@@bambino100011 Everybody sees what he wants
北ドイツ放送交響楽団とのライブも素晴らしい。CD化して欲しい。
After the debacle of "Lady Macbeth of Minsk" that nearly sent him to a Gulag or worst Chostakovitch compose this symphony as an excuse for his "liberties" with the former. Fully tonal, rich in melodies and harmonies is the most popular of his works. Was enthusiastically received when presented to the public all over the world and Stalin and the dreadful "Guild of Musicians" (whatever they were called) were appeased and forgave him. It still is the most pleasurable of his works, for me at least. The 4th, much richer and complex, previously composed (I guess) remained in a drawer (like most of his quartets) for many years until the black clouds dissipated, at least a little.
10:15 Tarkan.
Just wee bit overdramatic with the camera at 10:00-11:00, no?
First time watching schosta wdr?
The end is colossal bombast.
One thing is for certain though, the fourth movement is absolutely incredible
6:44... 777 24:01...
"Bras droit de Staline, il est une figure-clé du pouvoir soviétique de 1938 à 1953. Chef du NKVD en premier lieu, il est à ce titre l'un des responsables du massacre de Katyń. Il est par la suite membre du Politburo de 1946 à sa mort, et contrôle l'ensemble de la sécurité intérieure et extérieure de l'Union soviétique.
Staline le présente à Ribbentrop comme « le chef de notre Gestapo » lors de la signature du Pacte germano-soviétique ; lors de la conférence de Yalta, il le présente comme « notre Himmler » au président des États-Unis Franklin Roosevelt1. Il reste reconnu comme un personnage sadique."
"« V. Boïarski fut interrogateur dans l’Ossétie du Nord. (…) Il interrogea notamment pendant huit jours une institutrice, Fatima Agnaïeva, puis la fit pendre par les cheveux jusqu’à ce que mort s’ensuivît. »
(R. Conquest, La Grande Terreur [trad. par M.-A. Revellat et Cl. Seban], Paris, 1995, p. 532)."
Je ne crois pas en l'Homme. Avec de l'argent on vous fait faire n'importe quoi.
Et ce sont toujours la méchanceté et la laideur qui finissent par s'imposer...
Why does the conductor look like pat contri lol
too fast
Finale here is TOO draggy. I think conductors are in a personal contest to see how much they can drag it out.
Agreed. The rest of it was marvellous, with so many sections and soloists outstanding but the end of the last movement was ridiculously slow.
The final should be slow at the end. It is a portrayal of the Russian people being forced to be happy when they were anything but.
