One of the few composers whose performance by way of historical context is actually enriched by sounds of half the audience dying of tuberculosis for the entire duration. :D
To those who've claimed Shostakovich as cold, calculated and dull... you are correct. An artist who understood the world in which we live. Possibly those who hear the genius understand the magnitutde if this mans' work. Shostakovich for Ambassador of Sound to any intergalactic intelligence!
My father put me on this as he played trumpet throughout his life,....I must say, I'm surprised that Shostakovich is not better known. Unbelievable highs and lows.
just the other day I met his son, himself a world famous symphony orchestra conductor, and grandson, quite sophisticated and gracious men. And now I'm a great admirer, The music is deep, intricate, passionate, evocative. I can't think of the word to explain: it draws me in.
He is a tragic figure, actually. His work is an endless struggle and fear of the Russian communists. His love was killed in the period of the Stalin repression. He feared but couldn't lea e his homeland.
I stumbled across Shostacovich by chance. Such an underrated composer. His story reflects his music: hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking and yet inspirational.
This is so beautiful that it brought me to tears, several times. Still, I can't imagine being the poor bloke whose coughing at 19:20 made it into the recording.
We're human, and this brings the humanity forefront, albeit by accident. Think of when this was first played, before our fanaticism with standing in lines, there's a possibility that his audience was yakking and drinking, laughing and cheering... being so unremarkable and stoic in the face of emotion is almost anathema to me.
Wow!! I am just speechless. What an amazing composer. It takes you into an imaginary trip through his time, the country, society, historical events, etc. I am 🤯. I never heard about him. I just find out through a scene of the series Good Omens, where the angel is buying his record.
Music can be used as a tool and say more than words ever can. When I watch films I can feel the emotions from the music. Shostakovich is truly a remarkable man and a genius. Top Classical Music-History Channel thank you for hosting this excellent channel.
This relaxing classical piece is like a soothing balm for the soul. 🎶✨ Close your eyes, let the music wrap around you, and feel the stress melt away. Pure serenity! 🌙💫
The Symphony 10 is such a beautiful work all it costed him so much during his life time it’s so magnificent how the hatred towards his leader stalin lead to such beautiful works.
Tenho gravação de toda o obra desse gênio, inclusive o que ele compôs para coisas corriqueiras (e sob pressão da tirania), há muito tempo. Não me canso de ouvir ... mas sem os sons irritantes de tuberculosos que insistem em ir ao teatro.
as someone who really enjoys a lot of movie soundtracks, i really appreciate shostakovich. I'm sure a lot my favorite composers are not unfamiliar with his work...
Se dice que hubo gente llorando en el 3er movimiento de la 5a sinfonía, en su estreno, y que el aplauso del público duró 45 minutos, y lo más importante para Shostakovich, le había gustado a Stalin, y gracias a esta sinfonía y a las 2 primeras sinfonías de la trilogía de la 2da guerra mundial, consiguió que no le censuraran hasta su 9 sinfonía, y sinfonía final de trilogía de guerra, cuyo significado era la derrota de los Nazis, y Shostakovich aprovechó la oportunidad para burlarse de Stalin y de su régimen, sin duda la magia de la música de este peculiar compositor está dividida en 2 partes; la música, y el contexto… Sin el contexto, la música no me suena igual…
Что интересно, что к Шостакович у вполне можно отнести слова, сказанные Асафьевым о Скрябине: лучшие из анданте и ленто полны таких настроений, как будто он видел, как распускает я цветок или рождается новая звезда
I vision this, when I listen to the 10th; The Kremlin in the dead of winter, starkness, Subzero, Stalinist oppression and fear. Shostakvich lived in constant fear of the Siberian gulags for most of his professional life from big Joe Stalin's arbitrary shadow of terror cast on artists, writers and composers. If you haven't already; listen and research his 7th symphony (The Lenningrad) too.
He had nothing to fear from Stalin, a friend of the people, the strength of the working class, hero of the WWII, enemy of the Western imperialism, Nemesis of the oppressors, heir to Lenin, the Rose of the bolshevik revolution.
@@AsadAli-jc5tg my man he executed over a million of his own people and sent countless more to gulags. i'm a certified card-carrying communist, but there's a difference between *that* and being a totalitarian dictator.
@@AsadAli-jc5tg Yeah sure my dude, Stalin himself branded him as an enemy of the people in 1936. There are personal handwritten notes in the archives of Stalin that confirm this fact. But you do you
Это то, что мне не хватало в романтике Вагнера. Шостакович, это ирония о романтизме Вагнера, и реальное отчаяние от настоящей бесчеловечной реальности победившего романтизма. Сталин, конечно, это ощущал, и применял по отношению к композитору политику кнута и пряника.

Grandioso Shostakovich.
I'm with you brother. Sadly, unwillingly but...unavoidable misanthropy
I think I found my new favorite composer
I stumbled across Shostacovich by chance. Such an underrated composer. His story reflects his music: hauntingly beautiful, heartbreaking and yet inspirational.
Oh my God! Ahhh!!!! Why I didn't know this music earlier?! This is totally mindblowing!
это МОЩЬ и ВЕЛИЧИЕ!
just discovered this man and his music and honestly, I'm in love with it
You can feel the horror in certain moments. I can only imagine what it must have been like for Shostakovich. What a brave soul and fearless artist!
stop your foolishness
@@EddieDrayton you're probably vaxxed
This is such sublime and beautiful music of extraordinary depth and insight.
This is so beautiful that it brought me to tears, several times. Still, I can't imagine being the poor bloke whose coughing at 19:20 made it into the recording.
a bit before that. yes. poor bloke.
that's how the corona did well to this genre, orchestras started recording with no crowd.

Great string balance. Violas easily come through.
I wish the ad breaks would only be between the different works, and not during them.

What do you mean by his “hatred for Stalin”? What’s the context behind this.
Fantastic
my favorite composer
I now know why Tom Courtenay was selected to play Pasha in Doctor Zhivago. They made him look just like Shostakovich in the picture above.
Much appreciated!
Not many Russians understand the world like Shostakovich did. He is my favorite composer
Tenho gravação de toda o obra desse gênio, inclusive o que ele compôs para coisas corriqueiras (e sob pressão da tirania), há muito tempo. Não me canso de ouvir ... mas sem os sons irritantes de tuberculosos que insistem em ir ao teatro.
He looks as serious as his music sounds, I must say
Thanks for sharing!
These need hyperlinks to the pieces so we can learn which ones are which. What piece is at 12:40?
obrigado por colocar meu compositor favorito
imagine writing so much music that almost 3 hours is just Part 1 of your greatest works lol
0:37
7:59
23:19
holy moly - is this the Vengerov interpretation of the violin concerto?
Rostropovich, it is claimed, said he thought he was a composer until he met Shostakovich.
There is something about the area around 1:43:55 forward for a few minutes that I feel has the vibe of the THEME FROM E.T.
as someone who really enjoys a lot of movie soundtracks, i really appreciate shostakovich. I'm sure a lot my favorite composers are not unfamiliar with his work...
There was a point, that sounded like Bernard Herrmann's score from Psycho.
Please ,write who the performes are...Symphony 10 is phenomenally performed,which orchestra is it,which conductor...etc.etc.
Anyone got the timestamps for the individual pieces?
YOU ARE THE BEST MAN I LOVE YOY
If you enjoy Shostakovich, you all might enjoy the works of Thomas Bergersen. Turn up your volume and be prepared for evocative theatrical emotion.
Choosing this as the music to do my taxes by might have been an error. Especially at about 28:50.
Hoy! Why did you cut off the Scherzo of the 5th Symphony before it finished? The entry into the largo is horribly abrupt.
10th symphony, i cried, my stomach is doing some funny thing, what's going on

I wish this was timestamped
1:38:33 is absolute old fashioned metal
What piece is that at 27:00?
his 10th symphony, 2nd movement
Does anybody know what orchestra is playing symphony 10?
I am also interested in that,fantastic performance of 10...I wonder why the performers are not listed!
What is the name of the piece playing at 2:02:10?
5th symphony 1 movement
nice
excelente
Nuevo descubrimiento me gustó mucho
does bill evans look like shostakovich or does shastakovich look like bill?

Listen to Harold in italy, guys, its by berlioz.... it sounds exactly like this
i'm willing to bet john williams was quite influenced by shostakovitch.
That's what I was thinking. Some of these pieces sound like lost Star Wars themes
Still makes my hairs stand on end!

can anyone expliain why is there an array of coughs at 26:50 ?its not too clear to me
There is so much coughing in the first symphony s well. Now that I noticed I can't stop hearing them :D
I think they stopped playing, and everyone who was holding the cough in suddenly had the opportunity to let it out.
27:18 till 21:30
Could I ask a favor please ? 🙂 Could you please give me the ingredients of the "ox tail" seasoning you got in Jamaica?? Thank you kindly.
Sounds similar to the vibe of Civilization 5 soundtrack. I can imagine building my empire to this lol

Sometimes I feel the Empire in this music. However, I grew up in a Soviet-occupied country. I may be allergic a bit.
What is the first work played?
symphony 10
@@aminalesbekovaa thanks

James Horner loved Shostakovich
Ah! I was watching Patriot Games recently and kept thinking the music sounded kind of familiar! That must be why.
Pravda Newspaper always criticized his music. So disheartening!
That should be considered a compliment.
Right!

The saturation adds a very nice warm touch, especially while listening on my Presonus 8XT's. Sounds like a problem on your end. Not awful at all lol.
