After trying to listen to different music of Shostakovich, I've come to the impression that he was just a fraud who wrote music simply by rolling dice, without any care for harmony and tonality. Maybe he was harmony deaf.
Fraud? In my opinion, you can´t convince thousands of musicians and millions of listeners with fraudulent schemes or "rolling dice". Shostakovich´s music won the hearts and minds of millions all over the world. Do you realize that the same objections like yours were thrown almost two and half centuries ago at another great composer, Ludwig van Beethoven?
Yeah, I have to totally disagree with @Alexagrigorieff and especially in the case of this work in particular. It is supremely "classical" in many ways and predominantly tonal with rather straightforward harmonies (albeit with his trademark dissonances, etc.). Your comment seems completely off base. Are you serious or just being a troll? If you are serious, I would, as the others here have suggested, listen again. I think "fraud" is rather extreme. I find much of his music brilliant and deeply satisfying, the opposite of the rolling of dice or harmonic "deafness."
What a wonderful and expressive performance of this grand quintet by these virtuosic musicians. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wonderful
Have nice weekend
que maravilhosa apresentação! grato!
Really Extraordinary
This is a superb work. A difficult one in expression. Wishing this ensemble good wishes in their continued efforts.
A great performance of a great quintet! I enjoy Camerata Pacifica’s DSCH string quartet cycle. DSCH is the perfect music for these times.
Amazing
The pianist looks like Frozone from The Incredibles

Okay, it’s not going IV-V-I, doesn’t mean there’s no harmony. He literally gave the piece a key
