Švankmajer + Ustvolskaya

[lovesGenet]

Shostakovich was never this explicit. U can see her music!!!

[luvgod]

this was sort of heartbreaking

[caligirl747]

I suppose this piece conveys the terrors of Stalin's regime....and her strange romance with Shostakovich...

[BOARBIG]

To tell the truth,her music has nothing in common with the politics and Stalin.

[SlikkTim]

Impressive, fits very well galina ustvolskaya's music.

[elobos1]

damn!

nothing like lots of basses and a wooden box!

[VanessaTheStrange]

NICE!

I LOVE Jan Svankmajer!!

Thanks for sharing this :D

I wish I could find some of her music......once I went to a concert in her honnor.....I can't listen her anymore....shame!!!

There are recordings out there! Oleg Malov has recorded every work with piano and there are recordings on megadisc and melodiya (try amazon). There is a concert in Zurich on 9/12. Some works she left out of her catalogue in 1998, but its still about. I saw her CDs in shops in london. Her work was played at Royal festival hall in london last year as part of shostakovich centenary. I think interest in her is hotting up after her death. Can you tell i am fan?!

[Lucasguitarrita]

Someone knows which piece is played?

[tsarina999]

It's Galina Ustvolskaya's '2nd Composition (Dies Irae) for piano, wooden box and eight double basses. It is the middle of three ambiguously titled 'Compositions' which were written between 1971-75.

[proko77]

I watched this as I've never heard Ustvolskaya's music before. I got more than I bargained for; very provicative.
