Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Love Maisky-- he did great work on the Bach cello suites
Of course it’s Jansen. I expect none less of her
I don't find it on Spotify 🥲
Shazam. Another useless app that pretends to have the answer to any music...
Dude why did you put Argerich and Langlang in the tags? I didn't see them in the video...
Putting aside the amount of energy in the first violin, can we all take a moment to appreciate the cellist's look? Left to right, we have the outfits of: drama student, prom dress, the guy who takes dress rehearsal more seriously than the rest of the orchestra, and then the 20th century cello sage
The first violin is janine jansen btw
@kaiki r r these are all amazing soloists but the performance is sloppy lmao
His name is Misha Maisky
@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz I thought I was the only one who thought so too. It’s like you can hear all their egos clashing
@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz I mean it fit🤷🏾♂️
You can really tell Shostakovich was going through a lot lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
He wrote this for the things he saw in WW2 so he did see quite a bit
He wrote this as a suicide note/last attempt of protest because he fully believed he was going to be offed by the KGB. So yes, a lot
he was literally about to kill himself. wrote it in 3 days
the fact that this is written in quarter notes, the tempo mark must be “jesus take the wheel”
if you pause at 0:02 you can see it says semibreve equals 120, so yeah...
Technically 480 BPM, shosty pioneered speedcord fr
Shostakovich was pretty fond of these manic tempo (quasi) perpetuum mobiles, where many composers would do the more practical option of a shorter base value and a slower tempo. My guess is that he knew that musicians subconsciously play longer values 'harder' even when the tempo and dynamic markings are otherwise mutandis mutatis. You can find another (less extreme) example in the 3rd movement of the 8th Symphony.
I wonder if because shostakovich wrote his scores by hand it was easier to write everything as crotchets (quarter notes) that quavers (8th notes) or otherwise. Just a theory. I believe he wrote this piece in a very short space of time, like under a week, so perhaps that had something to do with it.

To the people who say this sound "sloppy" or unhinged... yeah... that's kind of the exact way to play this piece. I think the slightly unhinged aspect elevates it. :)
This interpretation has a lot of raw emotions but it does not justify the clear sloppiness in some sections
They don't have to justify anything :) You have no context, and more pressingly, they did not do this for you
@@jkid1134 what I meant by "justify" is that those sloppy sections weren't intended to be there to "elevate it" they messed up a bit and it affects cohesion in my opinion.
Obvious example, the early entrance at the beginning is not a decision justified by artistic expression
@@Samuel-kc1pg Rats, how dare your criticism be sound! This to me looked relatively unpracticed, and I meant originally that there's some degree of justification in preparation limits of any kind, but sure, not that kind of justification. I too am a big believer in intentionality and purpose in art, so I get what you mean. I think the measured response is that this performance has both flaws and virtues, even objectively, and even if there is some kind of synergy between them.
Exactly!
Whenever someone says “Classical music is boring” next time, I’ll show them this
wont change their opinion. trust me
better to show them something with a more followable but passionate melody maybe
@@erictsenmusic yeah, someone might think this is not very musical at first
@@erictsenmusic true, they probably won’t. But worth a try
I'm not in the loop with the subgenres since 20+ years but sounds like the thrash metal and the likes i used to listen to when i was an angry kid.
You can tell how aggressively Jansen is playing it because she lost some bow hairs by the end
Janine always plays with that energy lol
I just overread the „bow“ and still totally believed it 😂
Before the concert she has a bow. After the concert she has just a stick.
actually not, bow hair can also brake whie playing legato or not tooo aggresive, still her energy is unmatched
She always loses a few.
i LOVE this version it's so unhinged lol. i wish the full performance existed somewhere
There is a full version of this piece with Janine. The other parts are played by different musicians though
I think we all do.
Since I saw a blurred Maisky in the thumbnail, I knew that the piece would be Shostakovich's String quartet 8. I have seen this video many times and I'm still amazed at how they interpreted this piece with so much emotion and chaos!
This is the best interprtation I've ever heard of this quartet. That subtle dynamic change at 1:09 gave me chills.
I know that the first violinist and the cellist are world class soloists.
+1
I feel sorry for you then
@@AndreyRubtsovRU What don't you like about this ?
@@nicolasmercure7553 honestly it doesn't sound as demonic as it could. I think it would be better if it were Russian men playing instead of these flimsy women
this piece makes me visualize a group of students assigned to work together on a project but they all procrastinated and are trying to finish it in time for the deadline and it’s absolute mayhem
I mean... He did write it in three days
there is no better cellist alive that plays Shostakovich better than Maisky. Period.
Johaness imo
colon and semicolon
Rostropovich anyone ??
If he prepares as in his early days ...than maybe yes
@@rayanyessin277 keyword: alive
As a person who has been playing quartet 1st violin, let's say that I did feel a lot better after playing that XD
Aaaaaabsolutely. All the anger goes away. (Cello here)
Same Here...😂🎉
my aggression says i might have a therapist problem
My problem therapist says I might have an aggression.....
My says agresses therapist might have a problem I
I love this String Quartet by Shostakovitch. So full of emotions
I still don't know why he wrote crotchets on the page when they sound like semiquavers.... it just made page turns more difficult!!
@@liamnevilleviolist1809 maybe because if it was semiquavers, the feeling of the beat would be completly different. Being crochet at this speed it feels like a head going (no,no,no,no) or a person running... O don't know really. But your question made me think and that's my take on it. Composers think usually on everything that will make musical sense for the piece.
@@liamnevilleviolist1809 i mean, didn't he write the quartet in three days? correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not a musician
@@snoop9064 Yes. And he reused a lot of material, much more than he usually did. The quartet is partly a collage. And a good collage.
@@snoop9064 You're not a musician yet you know/think he wrote it in three days?
I mean, you might be onto something. He may have written it this way and then *IF* he had time (which he didn't) he could've gone on to re-do the score.
It is still strange to me that extremely fast notes are written as crotchets.
I'm not just a performer, but also a teacher, analyst, researcher, publishing assistant, arranger, recording artist, sound engineer.
So I do think that when I bring up a point about "Shosta's crotchets" ... it doesn't just come from nowhere.....
You know a piece is iconic when you can recognize it just by watching the bow strokes without sound
Can we appreciate shostakovich giving the viola an actual decent part
This is definitely my favorite recording of this piece, I wish the full performance was released
Che the Internationaal Kamermuziek Festival Utrecht.
For a moment I imagined this piece as played by a metal band with distorted guitars and bass, like some Scandinavian symphonic metal guys with long hair headbanging on every barline.
th-cam.com/video/x8NJGezMicI/w-d-xo.html
There's a metal version on guitar out there if you search 🙂
Here you go. It's the same movement: th-cam.com/video/x8NJGezMicI/w-d-xo.html
This piece belongs in tech-death. It is a tragedy that no tech-death band has covered this piece yet.
Do you know apocalyptica ? You should hear it
this shows how classical musicians really are: feral.
It's just Mischa Maisky being Mischa Maisky 😆
pretty accurate rendition of how it feels to be alive these days....
This IS one of the most, if not the most ICONIC performance of this string quartet!!!!! anything with Jansen and Maisky is gold!!!
That’s something my neighbor would say when I play too much Beethoven
i think my neighbor and yours could be soulmates
coming back when I need a good laugh again because the descent into madness as the piece progresses and with it the growing need for a hairbrush and jaw relaxers is hilarious
To think that I see the first violinist on a regular basis because she teaches in my school… she’s so damn charismatic and such a wonderful musician
aggression problem
Close to "PSYCHO" movie background...
This is why this is my favourite Shostakovich piece
1:00 that headbanging...
This is my favorite composition by Harry Potter /j
What a panic attack sounds like:
Don't worry, this dimension in which old Sylvester Stallone is a cellist doesn't exist and he can't hurt you
I had the chance to play this quartet with some friends in my conservatory (I'm from France), and it is as exciting to play than to listen to, even if it is soooo difficult 😂 Chostakovitch is a mad genius haha
Shostakovich: hands-down, one of the greatest composers of his Age: of any Age. Thank you again, Mother Russia.
I’m proud of myself for watching this performance long before seeing this on your channel 😄
same haha
same!
1:20
That was the smoothest page turn in the history of page turns
Well done Misha!!
1:18 *
Used the force
I loved that I found this by searching "that one string quartet piece that is crazy fast"
Ah yes, the voices in my head, I forgot where I put them
This man gets hate for his style of music. When keep in mind he isn't like 'most people.' He is different and that is exactly the point. What you hear is exactly what he wants you to hear. His music isn't bad, it's just different.
The man was living in an oppressive regime that made his life hell. His music was his rebellion, his escape. That's why there is so much dissonance, so much angst, so much hurt in his music.
Music should evoke emotion and no-one does that better than Shostakovich
Why is Shostakovich's music hated tho
When the truck stop bean burrito kicks in and the last sign said "Next rest stop 20 miles"
Ahh so soothing, great to relax the children 👍
I sense despair rather than aggression.
Sylvester Stallone really be doing all the side quests huh
mischa maisky is a fucking cello icon
When Death Metal bands turn their distortion pedals off.
When I first heard this work I was shocked by the beauty, fury and tragedy of the music, particularly the 1st and 2nd movements.
After listening to this for a couple of hours I'm afraid that the therapist would also start having aggression problems...
Gotta love Janine, she is always so expressive while she's playing
Now i know how Silvester Stalone Looks like in 50 years when he plays the Violin😂
I’d pay to watch that one violinist give someone a haircut.
The new version of anger management group therapy.
I'll tell my grand childs it is normal to headbang to classical music
This woulld have me throwin up the horns in the audience
it must be refreshing to play that
It’s nice to watch this piece with that level of frenetic energy. I find it really elevates the communication of Shostakovich’s frustration and desperation.
String Quartet has that metal vibe to it, its a beautiful piece to hear and its hilarious to watch, Shostakóvich was the real metal head of the classical music lol one of my favs for sure
Stallone is so versatile 😌
"Classical music is boring", they say
When mom calls to say she’ll be home in 2 minutes, and you realize you forgot to take he chicken out of the freezer! So now your frantically pouring hot water on it trying to thaw it out before she comes back
People losing their shit at their instrument immediately makes me wanna learn it lmao
Me during music class when the teacher irritates me for no reason:
My Internal turmoil at any inconvenience:
When the song hits hard; so you study it with your whole soul, give every note an emotion, make the piece reshape your mind and make the piece a "piece" of your life.
Am I the only one who thinks it looks like the players from left to right resemble 4 stages of from energetic to burnt out?
I mean look at each ones expressions and movements 😭
the song when the fires of industry felled the trees of orthanc.
What a jaunty little piece.
This is the anthem for the Bee that has become trapped in a Bonnet and canny find a way out! "FML FML 🐝 I shall rage and sting your ear!"
this is the most metal thing ive ever seen
Lady on the left has the same face my mom did when she found out I smoked pot
I love this piece and the raw energy is exactly what's needed! I think spot on
Love...so cathartic...feel ready for some calm now.
this is so wild and insanely beautiful. i've got goosebumps!
I felt like fire will come out of first player's violin😂
Parents' POV: Your four children are fighting about who stole the last cookie from whom. It was a very good cookie (and they don't know you did it)
Love. THIS.
Stallone on the cello right here
1:04 2nd violin: "we gonna become a meme" for 0.000034 of a second
Fucking metal AF 🤘🏽👹🤘🏽
gotta lov this
the horror movie scene where the guy who's been told he has anger issues murders and buries the therapist
fantastic interpretation by those 4
well done!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Peaceful and deligthed Quartet!!! Some calm winter evening and a cup of tea!!!
This is bourgeois formalism, comrades.
I was hoping for this after seeing the title. Nice!
WOW! I'm definitely going to look into Shostakovich's 8th quartet! Some days, I just feel like that music sounds! 😁
The guy with the long, white hair and gold choker looks cool.
“You had to bring the presentation “ theme
One day I'll buy a violin just to make my neighbours mad😂
this is an awesome rendition
I love this piece
Aggression problem? Nah!
Well, maybe when this is your Zen.
Aggression? Nah. Passion, yes!
@@liamnevilleviolist1809 Yes!
omg that piece... O.o ❤❤❤
My therapist: have u tried listening to classical music to help with your aggression?
The classical music I listen to:
Amazing piece
I love that quartet so much
even one of her horse hairs on the bow has broken
Man I love this piece
This is what it feels like moments before clocking in for work.
this is amazing!!
