Dmitri Shostakovich - The Execution of Stepan Razin 1/3

[MrPLASTERM66]

Stenka is alive with this !!

[karoloandria]

and by who is the painting?

Strange there are so few recordings by major conductors on the market for this work. Can we ever expect a recording by Gergiev for example? As a cantata, it has nothing to envy to the more famed Alexandre Newsky cantata. This Kondrashin recording outdoes any other I've heard. Unfortunately not available as a single CD. Thank you so much for this wonderful upload!!

The bass is Nesterenko?

Melodiya have reissued the complete cycle of symphonies on CD conducted by Kondrashin. This version of the Execution of Stepan Razin is also in the box, as well as Oistrakh in the 2nd Violin Concerto. If you can find it don't hesitate, it's indispensible

Шостакович пиздец как крут!

Thank you for posting this! I've got the Gerard Schwarz/Seattle Symphony Orchestra rendition but have read that this version, the original premier, outdoes that recording. Finally, I get to hear it without trying to track down a vinyl and a player for it!

I bought this in the late 1960's on recommendation from a friend. I still have my vinyl recording of it but no player, I've been searching for ages for a digital copy to play to my wife whom I've bored rigid with tales of the emotion this piece conveys, now she understands what I've been driving at but could not convey. Thank you very much indeed for posting it, it's wonderful.

Fuck yeaaaaaaaaah!

Shostakovich es la caña

[jataveda1]

Thank you thank you for posting this version by the conductor who performed the premiere of this work. This is everyone's favorite recording of the Cantata, yet it has long been unavailable. I lost my own vinyl copy years ago, so I haven't heard this for the longest time: yet I can still recall every nuance of Gromadsky's solo. Terrific!

[clarksc1988]

My current choir conductor at my university was the cover for the American premiere of this piece (with Slatkin?). He got to sing it during one of the last rehearsals. He talks about it every now and then. How cool to be so acquainted with such awesome and dramatic music!

Lucky you!

The whole of Stepan Razin is not an hour long - it's half an hour. You're probably mixing it up with the 13th Symphony, which also uses setting of Yevtushenko poems. THAT lasts an hour. Neither of them are 'songs'.

@DeliciousManager I realize this comment is a year late... You can tell how often I check. Well, let's just say that when we performed it at the University of Houston with Yevgeny present, the piece was an hour long. And I am not mistaking it for another piece. I still remember the Russian Clinic we had with him... Being taught to yell out curses in Russian, the four pages of shrieks, his explaination of the story behind the music. The whole experience is engrained in me.
