Shostakovich - Stefan Sanderling - Symphony No.5 Mvt.3 (2/2)

[sradley89]

Haunting!

[woodencardboard]

I never thought about it, but it must very nerve-wracking for the trombones to have to play that introduction in the fourth movement after resting for all of 14 minutes or so.

[Gatoradecup]

It appears that Bass has 5 strings. That is unusual

[miepdetruus]

1:58!!!!!! so amazing... this = definitely one of the best movements ever made i think, it messes with my mind :)

[eldientedemaiz]

1:00-1:54. Proof of God´s existence...

[drurylane5]

1:21-2:41 = AMAZING

[DDieLanDD]

I had friends seeing me play Shostakovich 5 tonight and they wanted me to smile more. So I really really tried to tap into the music's feeling and look for happy bits... however, when this movement came along, I got sooooo sad!

[SuperNowandthen]

Which orchestra is this?

[beethomozart]

Shostakovich premiered this symphony on november 21, 1937 during the terrible stalisnistic regime and was accused of a formalist, so he had to change in future works his "manners" to adjust to the ruler on power

[Thedearster]

where is movement 4 the best one.

[kizzadawizza12345678]

Blimey thats a high note from the cellos....

Shostakovich writes the best music for it...

WOW! *****

[sunshinel87]

So much passion!

[zattacks]

I once had a conductor who called the cello "God's instrument" (he plays cello, obviously). I think this pretty much embodies that statement.

[warwickle]

Ah!

Goosebumps!

[AZNCUTIE999999]

That big Cello, is one of the most intensed things I've ever heard, I remember when I first heard this mvmt, I was in tears.

[Marnixverberne]

This is indeed really good music. It could be plaed a bit more intense though, it's a bit to neat...but still, really nice :)

[shavkatikk]

That's the way its supposed to be played. NHK is the best orchestra to play Shostakovich.

[alambic1911]

a little bit emphatic, isn't it?

[BananaOfDoom]

This is, in my opinion, one of the best movements of music ever written period.

[chiccello]

I live for the 'cello parts that Shosti writes!!

[Vostavas]

This is probably the best thing shostakovich ever wrote. And I am a horn player (which means something since there is no brass in this movement). Who knew how intense trilling clarinets can be! Emotionally Perfect.
