Shostakovich didn't mean anything bad there. He simply didn't understand what was going on because of language. First he thought he must just thank. he got up. then applause continued, very quickly he walked to stage. He also was a very very shy person. this is a very precious video. I never saw that anywhere online.

You can also tell that the man next to him is translating for him. He was, by most accounts, a bit of an akward person, but this was really just down to the fact that he literally could not understand what was being said it that moment.

I don't think its that simple unfortunately. There will always be resentful and vengeful people who want nothing more than to watch the world in flames. Just think of Hitler. Or the Soviet union itself. Sure, he didnt live long enough to do it, but Lenin wanted to invade Europe as the first steps toward a world revolution. Stalin was going to invade Europe after he let Hitler soften it up for him (although Hitler invaded the USSR before Stalin could put the plan into action). And at the end of his life, Stalin appeared to be planning an assault, perhaps even invasion, of the west, but he also died before he could do it (look up the doctors plot and Stalins plans to invade the west). I wish it was as easy as laying down our weapons but in doing so we would give free reign to the people who do not respect our sentiment and who, as i said, want to watch the world burn.

@gorankatic40000bc Жыл бұрын

He was reluctant at first, embarrassed a bit, touching his head, scratching his cheek, caught off guard by Bernstein's unexpected gesture, by audience's and orchestra's appreciation. Then he approached his foreign colleagues with a huge smile. For a moment this musical chronicler of his complex inner life and of the brutal world surrounding him was genuinely happy. But when the music stops, when guests leave the country, when all of the Khrushchev/US political circus ends he is again alone with himself at his "usually" high levels of anxiety while watching blood stained red cloud sunsets from the balcony of his Leningrad flat, while the 23rd Prelude from Op. 87 softly plays in the background, whether in his head, whether from one of his EMI recordings, whether from Tatiana Nikolayeva's fingers. When he finishes his cigarette and enters the room both pianos are "unmanned", there are no guests, his family is out. Suddenly Siberian winter-like coldness forces him to bed, his heart is racing. While covering his body in layers of linens a muffled scream then crying are heard from underneath. By each decade of survivor's life the terror takes its physical and mental toll. His wife returns home, calls him "Mitya!", then upon seeing him in bed fearfully rushes forward and after his "I am well" hugs him with mixed feelings of joy and worry. His Seventh starts playing on the radio. For Mitya it's more then a mere "distraction" as his life returns from and as a musical pulse.

Hardly possible to realize the stature of both men in full, Lenny having himself just written West Side Story. In 2023 the depth and profetic nature of his words are the more striking: "why couldn't such warmth overflow into the totality of our relations instead of wasting our energies in hostility and our wealth on weaponry? We could send art to the moon, exalt our Pasternaks instead of isolating them, we could feed and house and clothe everyone forever, lick cancer in a week, harness the sun's energy, learn a few languages, talk, travel, grow - and love". Could we please learn some greatness from people like these? It's high time. Thank you so much for uploading this, what an amazing document!

It's a mark of Bernstein's genius that he was allowed to conduct some of the best orchestras in the world, including the Vienna Phil, the Berlin Phil and the Chicago. His recording of Shostakovich's 7th with the Chicago is the best in modern sound, and one of the best ever. He also made a legendary recording of the 5th, with the NYPO, in a hotel ballroom in Brooklyn in 1959. (HIs later recordings of the 5th, though with marginally better sound, lacked the same white-hot energy.) I'm not aware that he ever recorded Shostakovich's 10th, which is a cryin' shame.

From the special "Bernstein and the NYP in Moscow", which can be seen at the William Paley Center in Manhattan, and should be made generally available. LB discussed Billy the Kid and the Lenningrad Symphony. They played the opening movement of the Shostakovich and they were supposed to film the Copland as well, but the cameras broke down. The Shostakovich was prepared only for this occasion - they did not play the rest of it - and the orchestra had several local players added for its ear-shattering tuttis.

Leonard Bernstein directing the 'Leningradskaya' in Moscow. And after this the Moscow 'Bolschoy Theatre'' performed in the US. Isn't it high time to repeat such great exchanges between the two great countries ? The way Shostakovich reacted ( a bit shy and helpless) shows this was an authentic situation, nothing was planned or prearranged. Maybe he did not understand the English language of Leonard Bernstein. Yet this was one of the most moving moments between the two great countries and two great composers. Lenny Bernstein indeed spoke of friendship between the two countries.

Jesus what a fucking class act

@cathynewyork7918 5 ай бұрын

This is a terrible comment you made. What irony. You referred to "a class act," yet you swore with Jesus' name and used the vulgar "f" word. You have NO class and you are commenting on class. LOL LOL LOL.

If we could get everyone to sing in a choir together there would be no more war. Everyone!

It would be necessary also to suppress the extra political power that is currently enjoyed by certain malevolent interests.

AMAZING .... Mr Shostakovic understood war artistically and I think he is turning in his grave with current events involving Russia...

Where did you get this from? Never seen it. I used to own the LP with photo of Shos. on stage shaking hands with Lenny.

Its from the special "Bernstein and the NYP in Moscow", which can be seen at the William Paley Center in Manhattan. Someone posted the entire concert online but it has since been taken down. Since I only used a short clip of the performance it is allowed to be here (plus my channel is not monetized).

SHOSTAKOVICH ....one of the greatest of Russian composers. Read Solomon Volkov,s book..."Testament" ....and learn how this composer lived in fear during Stalin,s rule.
