Schostakowitsch 8. allegro non troppo Semyon Bychkov WSO

[Timrath]

The first trombone looks like Shostakovich!

[ManIhTwoLinJay]

The video editor really shit the bed on this one!

[alextro54]

La música muy bien, pero el vídeo parece de un videoclip pop

[chibillama24]

what the hell is with the flashes of instruments. It's making me laugh more than anything else

[ManIhTwoLinJay]

@chibillama24 OMGIKR! I swear the exact same guy that made this video made this one too! watch?v=Vf0e_n49dcQ

Skip to 3:30

[cy5026]

the conductor looks a bit like Mr. Bean

[ParkJunWoo2011]

The Camera is Confused

[bivabification]

Perfect time, not too fast. I´d like to find the others parts of this synphony. Where can i find? Thanks

[mortalfrog0815]

absolutely not too fast, perfect tempo... gives the whole thing a kind of virtuosity!

[walshamite]

Thanks for posting. The orchestra is very good, and the film is hot, though for me, Mravisnsky's sound is better, as is budget-priced Barshai with the WDR orchestra. Bychkov is simply too rushed to my ears. Allegro NON TROPPO means just that, a clear warning against excess speed. The others get a more stark, bare sound by pacing it like a blasting, violent, unstoppable hideous machine.

[oboistru]

I agree. Too fast.

[MusicInvestigation]

How long ago was this? BTW, this is quite a work of dynamic orchestral cinematography.

[whythewar1]

Way too fast.

[StrikaAmaru]

Would anybody get angry if I say this reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion music? >_>

[mercerreynolds]

the camera editing done by someone who has their shit together!

[StrikaAmaru]

0:14 is where it starts. (I just wanted to generate the link...:P)

[munegatame]

i didn't mean the piece i meant the performance. mravinsky conducting this same movement will make your hair stand on end

[munegatame]

sorry but after hearing mravinsky, this is like a high school kids picnic on the beach. mravinsky generates such tension and menace its almost unbearable

[26WillMohr]

@munegatame

I disagree. Shostakovich has got some of the most intense and best music in my own opinion.

Still, the Russians know how to write some bad ass orchestral pieces.. :D

[pianoforte610622]

It is a little bit to fast. Mravinski is the best.

[loodwig]

Great song, really cool visual effects to go with it.

[quesadiya]

nice effects

[myron099]

Hi, where did you get this video from? i searched the net and couldn't find a dvd of it. Cheers

[dmehd046]

could you put the ending of the 2nd mvt. as well?

thanks

[classicalnut1]

this is a moto perpetuum. it is very difficult because the strings have to keep a perfectly steady tempo. and to play it on trombones! i dont think the transition from strings to brass could have been any more unexpected! Go shostakovich!!!!

[musicencyclopedia]

The videography is astounding! It makes the music come at you like a 3D movie! Even those that hate classical music would take the time to watch this (I hope) ! LOL

[Tojarill]

lets go bones!

[StreetKillersZ]

French motherfuckers

[GregHales]

pretty good...but his earlier Berlin recording is better.

[cicaNezer]

The only conductor in the world capable to use his cheeks to show all quavers...

[humislair]

@cicaNezer hahaha

[TedMichaelMorgan]

@cicaNezer You know, Yes!

[thetheatreofmadness]

@cicaNezer But they're not quavers! They're crotchets...

[KonradUrb]

1772, 1793, 1795, 1919-1920, 1939, communism, Lenin, Stalin... My list is so long... That's why we don't like you so much... ;]

[gregapage]

I'm seeing Semyon Bychkov conduct Shostakoich's 11th at the BBC Proms in August. I'm weel excited, he seems a very good conducter.

[majark4]

woow you are so lucky! he is the best conductor of Shostakovich in the world! that is going to be AMAZING!

[KonradUrb]

Something amazing ... I don't like Russians much (I'm from Poland) but Schostakowitsch music is great.

[fat0nick]

I'm Russian and I like Poles coz they so funny don't like Russians. hahah

[mozartsoundgarden]

Dang! The cinematography is just violent! I wanna know who directed this video

[lee1lou]

Takie tempo lubię. Skrzypce i trąbki tworzą tu niesamowite napięcie. Zbliżające się niebezpieczeństwo jest gdzies blisko ale ktoś jest bardziej przebiegły i nie da się złapać. Wydaję się mi że działają tu jakieś dwie przeciwstawne siły. Cudowne to wszystko.

[furzendesbrot]

Good Flugelhorn solo !

[Michel037]

Flugelhorn???

That is a rotary(valve) trumpet ("Drehventil-Trompete" or "Deutsche Trompete") pitched in C made by Schagerl.

The player is Gabor Tarkövi, actually principal trumpet of the Berlin Philharmonic. In this case he plays as substitue with the WDR.

[Shobecool]

Isn't that just a rotary trumpet?

[dasteufelhund]

rotary trumpet...not a f/h

[saubrezn]

Very nice Solo from Gabor Tarkövi but this is a trumpet

[S4sando]

A+ for the trombones

[chapatrbn]

great trombonist

[Nocturnus6355]

Amazing

[klskjr]

яко!!!

[ihosvany]

semmy isnt very pretty but i love him anyway

[Matclou1992]

Ich habe diese Aufnahme zuhause komplett. Die Sinfonieorchester der Regionalsender Deutschlands spielen im Allgemeinen auf Weltklasseniveau.

Neben der Klasse des Orchester ist zudem die sehr experimentierfreudige und zur Musik passende Kameraführung zu erwähnen.

[HinUnHeTroet]

Ein einfach unglaubliches Orchester :-)

[atralfalgar]

Very good !!! Amazing !!!
