When I was in Middle School, and at the age of 13, my best buddy let me hear this great piece on his brand new stereo phonograph! It was AWESOME then and even more awesome now! BRAVO!

4:39 FULL POWER!!!

Magical concert live!

Magnificent choir, orchestra, soloists and conductor! The music sonorities are in perfect dynamic and phrasal balance. Could you please tell us what staff is that? Thank you very much for uploading this!!!

I was waiting for listen to this piece for years, I heard just an excerpt from 4:37 to 5:40, (the best part to me), today I just bought the score, and now I find this amazing videos, I am VERY GRATEFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS! and when I saw the nickname nikolaos333 I just thought, of course, who else? you have every great performance of every great piece of Shostakovich, how the hell do you manage to get all those videos? your channel is my favourite on youtube

素晴らしい曲です。

@virtuemarcus Philharmonic Orchestra of St. Petersburg. Temirkanov is the conductor. Japanese chorus.

@majark4 Thank you for your nice words!

@nikolaos333 Thanks! Well, it's a bit obvious that this great choir is japanese, don't you know it's name and the soloist's? Thanks again!

Glorious! Is this available on CD?

What's is the name of the arias of the baritone

It must be because they are not Russian that the chorus can sing the song for Stalin with no hesitation:->

日本での演奏で、日本人がロシア語で歌っても、少し発音がわかりにくいです。でも、ロシア人のソリストは、大変素晴らしいです。
