@@muslit hmm....interesting. How so? Apart from living in a happier and freer environment (which while typing this comment I'm fully aware is the vast majority of one's surrounding pressures and influences) I honestly think he realised his talent incredibly, and in spite of the incredible pressure he was under (particularly under the Stalin regime, until the last of Stalin's main subordinates exited their posts of power in 1956) composed some incredible works, and not just the likes of his most famous Symphony No. 5 but also at the very height of his composing powers slightly later that resulted in works like the absolute masterpieces that are Symphonies No. 10 (1956) and No. 11 (1957). While I know that Shostakovich is a hard composer for most to easily warm to, those 3 symphonies I mentioned plus so many more of his works will blow virtually anyone away when witnessed live in performance. Shostakovich is always a gripping experience when witnessed live (in person) in performance!! ☺️ Edit = Symphony No. 5*, NOT the previous typo of "6"
@@robertdora7026 I just don't agree. S is a horribly uneven composer, musically speaking. The only symphony which succeeds (almost) fully is no.14, the least performed of the 15, because it is the most unique, and really not a symphony at all. Furthermore, he purposely wrote bad music, which was meant to comment on the powers that be, but mostly went over their heads, i.e. the end of the 5th symphony, which taken at the tempo S indicates, is total bombast, compared with the rest of the symphony. Prokoviev never resorted to this, and the quality of his output is more even, including the works written specifically in the shadow of Soviet dogma. More recently I feel S's biography has influenced people to appraise works of his which in fact have little real, musical interest, like many of his autobiographical string quartets. I'm emphasizing here the autobiographical as opposed to the actual music. I don't doubt that Shostakovich's music has some popular appeal. As a composer myself, I think the talent he obviously possessed from early on was never allowed to flower in a consistent manner. Perhaps if he had lived in a freely artistic country, the result might have been different, or the same. No one knows. I might add, in terms of musical consistency, that Alban Berg heard the premiere of Shostakovich's First Symphony (or at least one of the first performances), and wrote to Arnold Schoenberg that S was a major talent. But he was only speaking of the first movement - not of the entire work - which impressed him the most. This was typical of the response to S's works for decades: passages of genius mingled with the mediocre.
What a performance! This is one of my favorite symphonies by Shostakovich. I had the opportunity to attend a performance of this work by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra back in early 1990's. My late mother was there in attendance with me. Whenever I hear this symphony, I always remember my mother.
From the first minutes you can hear clearly it's Shostakovich - it has his quirky, michievous sound. Youthful brio. Imagine, he was such a success at 19 with his first symphony!
you nailed it correctly in saying he was "mischievous" ... but he was so in an "unmischievous" kind of way that "Uncle Joe" never figured out ... its this particular Mischievousness that kept Shostakovich alive! (whereas the great Russian poet Osip Mandelshtam was also mischievous, but too obviously so and it cost him his life)
@@pravemet4427 Dmitri would disagree. There were times he was sure they would deport him. And that Stalin "didn't figure it out"... dear me, that's all you can come up with?
Paavo Järvi is a great master. He knows exactly how to hold our attention while leading what's written. And he never overconducts unless he needs to. One of the greatest readings of this masterwork.
the best symphonies of Shostakovich were his first 15 ... presumably he is still writing ... somewhere ... and if he's where I hope he is, his newer symphonies can only be better ... if that's possible
What a bold, brassy, and original concept for a conservatory student's graduation work! Shostakovich's innate talent and genius for composition was already fully in evidence, and produced a masterpiece that remains as fresh as it was at its premiere. Its changing moods sustain interest, and its invention makes one wonder what surprises the score will bring next. Needless to say this is a great performance.
It's got the spirit of a 19 year old: mercurial and extravagant and mischievous. He was a genius with a mature talent, but he still had a teenage soul.
@@wanderer8911 And he never lost it. Even in his many dreary, dead-serious horrors of war and Stalin epics, there are moments of play and defiance--he never forgot how to launch a spitball.
I love watching Paavo Järvi conduct. He uses his face as another pair of arms. And this is a superb orchestra. At 5:30 I'm wondering if Shostakovich ever heard Charles Ives.
For a first symphony, what a remarkable success! The mind and the ears are always captivated and surprised, seduced and enchanted. For a start, a total success. A truly perfect interpretation !
I'm an absolute fan of Jarvi; the speed at which this first movement is driven and the precision from FRSO will keep me attentive throughtout the remainder no doubt. Love, Laughter, Love
Part of me has always felt this. His 1st symphony has so much mystery in it. I never get tired of it. I am partial to his 8th string quartet, though. :o)
I heard all the coughing in this video, unfortunately this happens a lot in live concerts. Imagine with the covid virus we have now how many people would be coughing worse ? Besides all of that this is a fine performance and is deserving of a standing ovation !!!!!
I'm not a musician but I love so called classical music and Shostakovich is a top favorite for me. The FRSO is always honors Shostakovich by their great playing. Conductor Jarvi is always animated and fun to watch. 🙂🙃❤
One of my favorite orchestras in all Europe. Frankfurt and Royal Concertgebauw are the BEST. Also, whoever is playing the flute is amazing. I can't remember her name, but I know she has been a finalist in many competitions, and thought she played with Vienna for a while...
Nice usage of tempi,throughout.Xlnt rcdg and great hall!Superb tone through all registers!I had the honor and privilege to meet the Son/Conductor,Maxim and Grandson, Dimitri, after they defected to the U.S.
10:01 Unbelievable! Just an Unbelievable piece of music we can hear in that bit, just grandiose and it’s hard to believe that Dmitri Dmitrievich was quite young(~20yo) at the time when he wrote (t)his first symphony.
My first exposure to this symphony, and I enjoyed it. The FSO is my favorite orchestra and Shostakovich is my favorite composer. Jarvi isn't bad either.
Absolutely incredibly and poignant interpretation of this neo classical masterwork of Dimitri Shostakovich. The juxtapositions of passion are awe-inspiring.
The cello solo at the end really is beautiful. Kudos. But it should be played "con sordino" as written in the score. Playing it without sordino makes it sound much better, but this was not the Intention of the composer. It should sound lonely. Otherwise this is a fantastic performance.
A good rendition with a flawless orchestra-but not to compare with Kondrashin,Ancerl, Bernstein or my personal favourite-Stokowskis rousing and vivid performance with the New York Philharmonic!
The timpani solo is played so loudly at 31:28 that the E natural drum drum sounds out of tune when he starts his roll but sounds in tune when his roll is lowered in volume
This symphony reminds me of the music of the Disney composer Paul Smith who composed the scores for such Disney movies as Pinocchio, Cinderella, 2000 Leagues Under The Sea, Pollyanna, and the Parent Trap , the first movement sounds just like the music of a cartoon, if there was footage it would be synchronized with a technique called mickeymouseing which is music that is synchronized with the movie or cartoon in perfect unison.
A movie composers were trained in these guys and borrowed the ideas and techniques. Shotokovich, btw, played the piano for silent films to pick up cash. I think that experience can be heard in lots of his music.
Shostakovich in "bad economic"" times as a young man made a living playing piano while silent movies were being shown ... most of what he played was ad lib ... his chosen response to what he saw on the screen ... the only "synchroniization" was with the wit of the great composer ...
I admit this is a great piece and its beauty is complicated and sublime. However, wouldn't people be depressed after listening to it too often? The sound effect and melodies transfer too much emotion of despair and agony to me.
@@aclassicaldisaster While I agree with you, the 3rd (& last) movement of the 6th Symphony does bring out some humor as well!! The real rage is mostly in his string quartets!
this should not come as a surprise as most true music lovers can hear five bars of any score and come close to almost always guessing who the composer was ... composers are well aware of repeating themselves and work hard not to ... but then if they'd had success with certain phrasing or chords or whatever, why not repeat to some extent? Even more than this, when Shostakovich wrote his 7th symphony he was "afraid" parts of it sounded too much like "Bolero" ... so composers try not to copy other composers at least inadvertently ... unless of course your name is Salieri

Check Vienna Philharmonic under Decca Label in the late 1950s and 1960s, it's sound engineers were much much ahead of their time.

At least they held it for long enough; would’ve been awkward if they started coughing in the middle of the movement
