@@allistermendez8085 this comment right here

Yessd

it's because it's sped up. That's why his voice sounds like that

Lilibeth Gambong it’s not

something to do with the recording. His actual voice wasn't like that.

older recordings seem for some reason to make voices sound higher pitched, i dont know why tho

​@@songbird2383 There was no standard frame rate back then. Many old films are played back and digitized at 24 FPS despite having been filmed at a lower frame rate. This also leads to a faster playback of the audio track, which also makes it higher pitched.

Thanks you

@@Dylonely42 yoooo

@@jspianomusic4462 hey

My ears pleased

I know right!!

2023 and the only thing that makes sense is to keep myself alive to listen to Shostakovich.

I'm not alone

@@fernandatavares5175 same

everyone horny for the dead russian man 💔

I mean, you could really admire how good looking he is, but please, not to the point that you're thirsting about him.

@@rollsroycegriffon2375 why not tho

what happened to him?

@@rafreyes5140 If I remember correctly, the communist party of Russia doesn't exactly like him and most of his pieces because they kinda criticize the government of the country. Shostakovich lives under tge fear that he may soon be arrested by the KGB. Some sources said that he sleeps on the stairs outside his apartment so just in case the KGB finally arrests him, his family especially his children won't see him getting picked off never to be seen again.

@@raphaelclado8153 i feel bad for him that he has to go through all those threats, stress and anxieties.. his music makes me feel some kind of relief through escapism..thanks for sharing 🤍🤍

Apparently he was very shy too.

he voice is not like that is just a old recording problem lol

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gOCWpMJ3uNDJfZ8.html This is his voice.

@@amandaneves435 thank you!

but Sergei Sergeevich then returned to his homeland and died there. I think that Sergei Prokofiev is one of the best Soviet composers! Greetings from Russia 🇷🇺

@@nikitos3610 Hello Nikita! Yes, Prokofiev is a wonderful composer as well. The Romeo and Juliet ballet is perhaps my favourite piece. ♥

@@dwarow2508 That's a bad joke right?

He did! There is a photo of him actually, with his daughter, holding a lil pig and smiling

Type "Shostakovich smiling" into Google Images. You'll be glad you did.

There’s also a picture of him smiling with his friend, Benjamin Britten

@@yowzephyr lmao

There wasn't much to smile about back in the day I'm afraid.

@@sergeisergeyevichprokofiev802 ты здесь откуда?!

Yes and Shostakovich finds it very weird coming from heaven same with me

I love him

@@millky3634 simp alert

what a juvenile thing to say

Not a guy... a musical genius, the Hendrix of the symphony orchestra

On piano it sounds like silent film music, kind of humorous. In full orchestral sound, however, it sounds terrifying and aggressive and kind of crazy. I love it

@@garrysmodsketcheswell, he wrote music for that as well.

I had a ticket to see that in January and tested positive for Covid on the morning of. I was so disappointed to give my ticket to a friend.

My guess would be, they were getting ready to film him playing one of his pieces and these are some luckily survived outtakes before they started (they probably started filming to check that the camera works properly and everything is in order or something like that). So while the camera crew was getting ready and doing their test run of the equipment, he just sat there smoking and chilling.

um ok

@@DmitriShostakovichDSCH bruh shut up stop pretending to be him its weird

Very handsome and great composer

i would say its because when he aged he could no longer use his right hand .. but he is rather young in some of these recordings, aha.

All composers can, unless they are mute (unlikely)

I have to put in a good word for Nikolai Kapustin.

best comment here

You wrote: "Imagine [living] in fear of being arrested any day, just because you can't help being a genius!" That's NOT why he feared he might be arrested. it was because he was not writing pretty/patriotic music like Tchaikovsky or Mussorgsky. Stalin had very conservative tastes in music and could not understand or appreciate the new direction Shostakovich wanted to take. Nor could he understand any music that was not rooted in 19th century tonality.

Composers all lived well, including returned Prokofiev. It's ridiculous to think they were not content. These people were admired, venerated, cherished.

@@annashlimovich where did you get the information?

@@Johannes_Brahms65 it's widely available in books, etc. Even in this documentary it's evident. It is regrettable that this myth about the Soviet composers misery is perpetuated by the propaganda sources. Composers were never prosecuted, perhaps because their art is not easily translated in ideas. Writers, poets - that's a different matter. But not composers. Prokofiev also enjoyed a very privileged life, even though his wife was sent to GULAG. He married a younger well-connected girl instead. Anyway, Khachaturian, Khrennikov, Dunaevsky, etc. all lived very well in the USSR.

@@annashlimovich I read and heard differently. There's a documentary about Sviatoslav Richter here on youtube. He was there at the time. He explains certain things there. Sjostakovitsj was quite happy until Stalin came to listen to his very successful opera Lady Macbeth. After that he always kept a suitcase ready, with toothbrush, pyama's etc. Prokofjev and Katchkarturian collaborated. Emil Gilels worked with the kgb so he wasn't bothered. And oh yeah, there's a war going on in Ukraine, did you happen to know that? (Sorry to be nasty, nothing personal. Just giving air to my own frustration. There's free press in my country).

i AM harry potter

​@@DmitriShostakovichDSCH you're a composer Harry

same

Oh did you watch tantacrul's video as well?

Yes

I'm dumbfounded when people with no talent have the gall to criticise Shostakovich.

​@@ChrisWrightOM1 It's Stalin he's facing with. He can't really do much because he might get executed by Stalin's purge..

Hey...I edit the footage from several movies, docs and archive images...almost alll of them are here, in youtube ;-)

Read Symphony for the City of the Dead. It explains a lot of the things we can take away from the Volkov, but puts others into context.

😳

I have no idea what that means.

Yeah same 😂

1st movement of 7th symphony

The plataform for the First movement...He was until finished

TRUE!!! I was wondering where I heard a voice like Shostakovich's before

Helel Melekotawi lady Macbeth of the Mtensk district, I think.

The "Entrace" of Act No. III. From Lady Macbeth.

I know it as his 2nd prelude from opus 34

My thoughts exactly.

Ikr they're simping over dead Harry potter lookalike

He's smoking soviet cigarettes called Belomorkanal (White Sea Canal) which actually had more filter than tobacco ... meant to be smoked with thick gloves in Siberian winter, I suppose. You can still buy those cigarettes in Russia today. I have two packages :-)

@@larvaconvivialis wow! thanks, you learn something new every day. Bruce Willis had one like that in Fifth Element but I thought it was a joke, for the cigarette to be "ultra mild" in the futuristic setting!

These were extremely toxic Belomorkanal, they must have caused his lung cancer.

piano trio no 2

@@cartolaia5233 first movement. I'm lucky to have played all the 4 movements at 16 years old and experienced his music in a previleged way.

Pretty sure it’s from his opera Katerina Ismailova (Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District)

@@Pvviolinist Thank you! It sounds so haunting..

His 2nd prelude of opus 34. It’s slowed down for some reason.... I love all of them

Ismael Aros Laby Mcbeth Inturlude 4

it's the third movement of the 7th symphony! do you want the link of that part?

@Clara J His mother, sisters, and close friends all did though...

@Clara J It's okay to be attracted to him, but maybe take a step back and remember his was a real living human being that you have no claim over.

@Clara J Uh,Shostakovich's parents,sisters,family members,and friends all called him 'Mitya'.

@@hellothere-dv5me Not to mention his actual wives (he was married three times, and his third wife is still alive).

Symphony No.7

hey |:/

true

It’s an excerpt from the 1st movement of his Seventh Symphony

Мы все любим этого гениального человека!

Symphony 7 (leningrad) first movement

I started with King Crimson and landed on Shostakovich.

He drdicated this simphony his motherland City Leningrad AT time of ww2 in easten Front AT 1941,for oll People Who was Fought with NaZi, and take victoty

"My 7th symphony comes as an echo of the threatening events of the year 1941. I dedicate this composition to our war on fascism, to our upcoming victory over that enemy, to my home city of Leningrad. Now I'm going to play an extract from the first part of the 7th symphony."

Piano Trio no.2, i think it's the Largo movement
