@@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.

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.

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.

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
