[usamaki10]

that piercing violin in the background shortly after 3:07 is amazing

[dcherisson2]

@Pisikadelina

re ad - probably this one?

/watch?v=3cq6yFfyqxQ

[kosmischesynth]

wow, I didn't know this was Shostokovich

[SladderBux]

Luc Besson is my favorite director, he takes total control of what he does... imagery, story and music to make it work.. He's a french director, but I can see the impact that Shostakovich had on him.. the same drive for perfection.. and how Shostakovich influenced the music scores Besson would use..

[cbell2051]

does anyone know how to play the second violin part? i have a test on this and i cant play the piece at all.... could anybody help me with this situation maybe refer me to a video of someone playing the second violin part or post a video on here for me to watch/learn???????????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

[SmartieRockz]

I've learnt of this piece from the wonderful advert supporting make a wish foundation, it always makes me smile :) I love this piece, it is gorgeous <3

[Pisikadelina]

@SmartieRockz which advert? i need to know please

[SmartieRockz]

@Pisikadelina The one combining fairy and febreeze, it has a girl commanding a rowing team and she's bossing them around. It supports Make A Wish Foundation

[morrissixty]

meraviglioso, ma.... Shostakovich è molto molto più amaro e ironico......

[mightyladyjp]

I love this music

[iluvthebluesky226]

this is one of the most beautiful waltzes ever written. *_____*

[TheValoory]

Oh my god ! I love that ! Awesome ! There isn't any other word !

[eliasfdourado]

27 people love Stalin.

[noprofitmaximierung]

@eliasfdourado Which part, the gulags and executions or the economic plans to industrialization?

[TheFlyingFoodTester]

Finally, this piece hits one million views

[MissPrettyKitty13]

This is true music .<3

[mgialen]

Awesome!!

[MightyDwarf1000]

I want this 3 minutes and 48 seconds of pure divine to be played on my funeral.

[zebbo1977]

stalins's preferate composer

[johannislots]

@zebbo1977 not at all true. He was threatened and forced to make propaganda music for Stalin films. Stalin hated his 5th symphony and nearly had him sent to the Gulag. Inform yourself before making such statements.

[PabloDelRococo]

Shostakobitch

[valdlh]

Comment mieux commencer 2012 qu'en écoutant cette valse!

[helistudent1]

I love this waltz and I've always wanted to "Waltz" with someone :-) It would be my dream!!

[bokoa1]

Beautiful

Poland listens to Szostakowicz

[zyglent]

@bokoa1 :)

[bokoa1]

[bokoa1]

@Pfaffenfresser1

Poland and Austria listen to Shostakovich :)

[rozankaleonka]

@bokoa1 Prawda!!!!

[alohablueviolinist]

it s an amazing piece and it s even more exciting to play it with your orchestra in conserts...<3

[nedtf2]

Eyes Wide Shut

[GreekClassicalMusic]

This music reeeeeeeeeeally travels you.....

[deebtomy]

It is very favorite music.

For Japanese people, this minor key can be heard sadly pungently.

It is very good.

It is good also at a performance of sax and a trombone.

[Athleticmaleuk]

Fedor would like this.

[roaringdinoo]

reminds me of a traditional jewish song

[caddyj1]

Stunning and moving, powerful yet subtle.

[009659506770]

lovely ?



[hentes22]

Heineken....

[lorddraculina]

amazing..

[rainwalker93]

meanwhile, if the majority of today's generation heard this, they'd probably be wondering if there was ever "grinding music" during this time x(

[Zephanus]

@rainwalker93 Every modern generation had 'wild' music like that. Even so there are some from from the currently 18 year old generation that loves this music, myself included.

[hardcorezombi]

Eyes Wide Shut.

[mexas1990]

hoy toque el solo del comienzo con el saxofon,,me encanta esa melodia...

[yukionna26]

a painfully beautiful song

[xerxes52]

@yukionna26 not a song

[VhUgGz]

Thumbs up if you're here because of the Heineken commercial :D

[nas1412]

@VhUgGz NO. I'm here because Bad Santa

[VhUgGz]

@nas1412 Bad Santa is an epic movie.

[DrUltraimagination]

Genius. Genius. Pure, talented genius.

[kububub]

he looks a bit like Christopher Walken on this pic.

[Carlos111111able]

Holy shit!!!My highest respect to the music masters like Shostakovich.

[MsHilding]

Härligt och vilket vemod man känner i valsen!

[cirfia]

i have been looking for this for so long...thankgod i found it! :D

[CommentALLtheVids]

This vid made me grow a Handlebar Moustache...

[TwistedOyster]

The quintessential Russian waltz of all times

[clooaan]

Terrific tune.Used very well as a theme in the play 'The Overcoat'. Not a single spoken word of dialogue in the production and not required with music like this to do the talking.

[JoeKGB1945]

Nothing like a beautiful waltz from the great comrade Shostakovich. Spasibo :)

[NathalieBoynton]

This music was played at my mum's cremation, and it brings back sad memories every time I hear it.

[MrSouthernSurvival]

@NathalieBoynton Ha ha ha ha ha ha

[RCBGMK]

My favourite waltz!

[666Raiderpride]

Bad Santa.



[willdrury33]

Thumbs up if this reminds you of the Heineken Commercial!

[sax6598]

Solo hay dos palabras para describirlo. Genio Musical

[obiwanobiwan13]

I could lsiten to this ALL...NIGHT...LONG...

[EagleofChaos12]

Last Sunday, my high school orchestra performed this piece, now I am HOOKED! Beautiful, and it spits russian all over itself. Nice Music!!!!

[hornick18]

damn I really want to see Eyes Wide Shut again... so crazy..

[emeryck51]

Really nice music

[Harjabit]

Y pensar que "escuchaba" estas melodías en su mente. Bendita la esquirla en su cerebro.

[stefanwebsite]

nice video

[Azash123]

if this was a movie soundtrack, that would be my favourite movie

[OnlyaLon]

@Azash123 it's the opening music for the movie Eyes Wide Shut. you know that right?

[Gikina187]

@Azash123

IT is a movie soundtrack ))

[marianisport]

MUSICA ECCEZZZIONALE - AZZECCATA AL FILM DI KUBRICK - VEDETE IL FILM O RIVEDETELO MERITA - LEOCLAN-MILANO

[MissMika0000]

I played the clarinet and reminded me of old times

[nonnopirro52]

Karasho Dmitri !

[Alternivma]

Los rudos componian unas sinfonias maravillosas! unas de las mas dramaticas!!! Este es uno de los vals que le fascinan a mi mama

[parsecs2000]

@Alternivma Supongo que querías decir los rusos, y no los rudos. Si no cambia totalmente el significado de la frase y es un insulto a la inteligencia.

[Alternivma]

@parsecs2000 Por supuesto que si.Como se te ocurre que voy a estar colocando tales palabras frente a tan extraordinaria composicion?Y mas aun,una de las que mas le fascina a mi mama.Si coloque esa palabra fue una equivocacion,de la que no le deberia dar explicaciones a nadie inteligente que creyera que mis palabras es un,supuesto,insulto a la inteligencia.Puedes darte de cuanta de ello muy bien en como exprese mis palabras hacia este vals.No me comentes mas estas cosas por favor

[parsecs2000]

@Alternivm Tan sólo me hizo gracia como quedó la frase cambiando la s por la d, un tanto ridícula. No pensé que lo hubieras puesto adrede, si fuera un video del infame reguetón (y otras pseudomúsicas degeneradas) pues sí que lo hubiera pensado, pero aquí no.

[paramus17]

@minamutv

i like thieving magpie

[t3hwasabi]

[gaborcz94]

[LysergiksAmidus]

25 persons were too amazed and didn't notice they were clicking on the wrong button

[babywilla]

I should hit the dislike button as well. It just doesn't get out of my mind anymore. I love it and I hate it for that...

[JBestwick1]

@mcpartridgeboy , in your haste to prove how much you know about Shostakovich; you've over looked the fact that lincoln5561 could be ending his message with a little note on where he's posting from. No?

[mcpartridgeboy]

@JBestwick1 hi there in your haste to prove how smart you are over me you neglected to find the sarcasm in my message, next time you want to look smart dont try to make a chess player look dumb cuz youll loose EVERY TIME, now fuck off to your pub the footballs on, go play with a ball you fucking uneducated peice of shit trying to look smart hahahah yeah pick on a chess player, WANKER " !

[dicksonteoh]

[mcpartridgeboy]

@lincoln5561 no sir, your mistaken, its from Russia or the USSR i never know which is wich ahhaa but no he isnt turkish sir surely with a name like Shostakovich wouldnt be Turkish. Thankyou

[RaF5371]

ladies and gentlemen that's music >~<

[Altery48]

Потрясающий вальс.Не ожидал от Шостаковича такого....Я всю жизнь считал,что это старинный русский вальс,из категории "Осеннего сна","Грусти" и т.д...

[largolegato]

@Altery48 moi aussi.

[putnik63]

First performed by Moscow radio in 1938, the original score was lost in WW2 but a piano score was found by Manashir Yakobov and the symphony was reconstructed by Gerard McBurney.

It was next performed at the London Promenade Concert in 2000.

[Theon1ylimEy]

We play this in my orchestra, all strings and it sounds amazing, just like this! :)

[rapitisioannis]

λαρα λαρα λαρα τραλαραμμμμ!

[AnngieXXPieXX]

i am 13 and i love this song so much, we named the family pet Dmitri. this is an amazing song and if you don't like it, you are crazy!!! ... or you just don't like classical music. this is really amazing. i wish to be as good musically as any of the musicians in this song. and i love the trumpet solo in this song, i personally plat clarinet but i LOVE the sound of a trumpet. it's beautiful! ahhh how i love this song!!!

PEACE!

-Angel

[TheRockThatRolls]

What is that at 2:24?It sounds divine.

[KABOOM12341]

@TheRockThatRolls Trumbone...I think, maybe a Euphonium. Probably a trumbone.

[ordude123]

@TheRockThatRolls You mean a tuba? Actually it might be a trombone...

[oscaringoliling0]

This is some serious quinceañera beat!

[oscaringoliling0]

@oscaringoliling0 Diebochka? Niet! Gengena!

[Werner170]

Best part definitely starts at 2:20!!!

[BazerkerKing]

this just makes me think of Russia

[fakename1314]

Love the french horn part.

Don't think I've ever said that before!
