???

What does that even mean, I don't know. But I agree!

Thank you, friends! Our Soviet composer is really great and his music is beautiful forever!

Yes, playing the can can in funeral scenes XDDD

There is a picture of him when he is about 18/19 years old. He looks like thirteen :'D

Is his grandson

@@girlwithoutpearlearring and he looks good doe ngl

Yes- I just saw this clip on another posting, and he is certainly not 33/34 years old here.

@Seth Killian Learn more about music, sir.

@@rumataastorskiy5734 Shut up, Bach!

one in a million? go talk to a million people right now, i promise you won't find one person near his level. he was more than one in a million

Do anyone know another composer like shostakovich?

@@user-IllIllIlI Prokofiev is probably the closest in style.

Same! I'm glad we have the audio recordings of him playing, but I wish we had videos (with audio, of course) of him playing his own piano pieces.

Russian school of piano playing has always been one of the strongest in the world. Most Russian composers were excellent world class pianists in their own right and rarely even considered themselves very good at playing the instrument (because they were studying with people who were considered much better at it).

@@kosmosyche”Always” is word used by Russian nationalists. Actually Russian classical music tradition is not that old, not even 200 years.

@@pawelpap9come on

Super.

no ur amazing

​@@DmitriShostakovichDSCH no you're amazing

@@tooktookishereNo you’re amazing

Most of my favorite composers lived in the Soviet Union.

@@stevej71393 Censorship was a real issue, especially during the Stalin era were hurting the feelings of the party could easily cost you your life. However, the education system there must have done a pretty good job at discovering and assisting new talents.

@@uzefulvideos3440 No, it was the opposite. Education system didn't encourage or assist talents but instead pushed people into the jobs they didn't want but the government needed. "Artist" was not even considered to be a job. When Prokofiev died, only a few people showed up to his funeral, many famous artists were killed or sent to GULAG. That's why most of them had to flee Soviet Union in order to survive. I wonder how many potential composers we lost because of this butcher's regime.

Interestingly, I read an article that recounted a 3-way interview with Martha Argerich, Stephen Kovacevich and a reporter from Gramophone. At the end of the interview, Argerich insists the three listen to a recording of Shostakovich's performance of the final movement of his first concerto and she remarks how the cadenza is unbelievable --- so she definitely gets it. I think both are incredible but I think Argerich's rubato actually makes it hit harder for me...

Same. I do hope that there's some unknown live footage (with sound) somewhere of Rachmaninoff playing, just waiting to be discovered, so we can finally see AND hear him play.

Как кто....идиоты!!!!

Stalinnn

Именно из за этого ютуб убрал видимость дизлайков. DSCH надо уважать...

Idk but he must be dead by now lmao

Прокофьев наверно

The cellist 😌

Да врёте вы всё. Если все художники жили тогда под страхом - в СССР не было бы такой культуры! Сейчас по-вашему в РФ нет страха - дерьмократия сплошная - а никакого творчества нет совсем - только дешёвые поделки за бабло из жизни правящих крупных и мелких уголовников.

Omg so brainwashed western propaganda

I'm glad somebody has mentioned this. If you watch back at 75% speed, you get a better idea of how it probably actually sounded.

The Second world war began in 1939.

The audio and the video might have become separated during the modern processing. Often happens.

@@Itapirkanmaa2 I think so. Therefore, the sound recording is not that of the concert; however, the rest is extremely synchronous. We don't know a lot about this fabulous recording

Yes

If there's no fear, why is he always wearing a star on his lapel?

Yeah you definitely did. I think you're my favourite composer now

bet 🎉

Common misconception. Very few composers were good performers of their own music and Shostakovich most certainly wasn’t one. And this is not even counting composers who wrote music for instruments they couldn’t play themselves.

Юрьев!

@@aleksandrsergeev5721 Leonid Yuriev - thanks

The audio and video aren't really in sync

Да

yeas it is because the technology back then was bad so the camera is not so good with sound. i can a agree with that 🙃

lag maybe? it seems pretty legit to me which part? or the whole thing

the middle glissando part. i hear the glissando but i don't see him doing it at all

oh yeah................... .-.

Its shostakovich...maybe he could do a glissando that u cant see cuz of how good he is

or maybe, its fake

@@user-yn6sg2on3n спасибо!!!

Robert Switzer, who is this arrogant fool --one "Richard Mohr," a nobody, compared to Dmitrii? Yet, whoever he may be, he must be so much more than you, since you use his pompous mockery as shelter for your own timid, implied agreement to them. History has already proven you and your Mohr mentor wrong: neither real audiences (the ones who actually pay for their concerts --unlike you) nor real musicians (the ones who actually can play an instrument well --unlike you) neither of these, I say, care to hear or play any serial music. I said "ANY", ite est: none, no serial music. You are stuck in the dogmatic aestheticism of the 1960s --pity that your brain got calcified so long ago ...

Yeah that makes about as much sense as saying cage could have been saved by minimalism m8. Same time period doesn’t mean one style.

Whats wrong with dittys if theyre well written?
