Shostakovich played this much faster than this fellow does. There is a video of Shostakovich playing this cadenza (look for it) and he's playing it about as fast as humanly possible. There are a couple commercial recordings of Shostakovich playing this as well. The older of the two is a live performance and he makes a lot of mistakes, more than this talented fellow!
that page turner is awesome :) the pianist is okay too.

Fantastic job! This actually sounds very close to the way Shostakovich would have played it himself. Thanks for posting!

Where`s the trumpet?? I`m going to play this piece too, but in March 2007 :)

Trumpet is in the Original Orchestra score. String Orchestra plus one trumpet. It's really cool.

Of interest I am going to be playing this piece in June 2007 (as Trumpeter).
