Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz 2 From Jazz Suite classique

[joeypropeller]

i love how two entirely different kinds of people like this video for completely different reasons

[lunzerbua2k7]

i always imagine slow-motion warfare/ close-quarters-combat with this music in the backround....

[ausseratem]

Try a little tenderness …!

[ChristofKehr]

I am afraid you do not understand anything about Shostakovich's music. So find out what ideas he had about war. Go and listen to military marchs, do not abuse other peoples music.

проява на лош вкус ;;;валса на Шостакович е прекрасен,но самолетите,колкото и да са съвременни нямат място в този клип.....

[MrSovjetunion]

I love this song...and the Jet, too

[dorapezzilli]

Tragicamente bello.

[Outlaw3066]

I have always had a soft spot for the Flanker series, (sorry don't know the Russian name for the aircraft) they are just too sexy, almost like the designers built them too look as good as they fought.

[rapitisioannis]

Excellent!

[chavezTchavez]

Very well edited. I like how the shot of the tanker coincides with the trombone solo. Very clever and well done.

[FlierFrank172]

Where have I seen a fighter jet like that Sukoi before?....oh yes...An American F-15.

[Swertzer]

@FlierFrank172

You really compare that flying CUBE with SU-30?

[DoomLsk]

Because of this song..

I want to bareknuckle box.

[StephanSandiares]

@DoomLsk Funny ... me too. That and drink.

[glorneis]

I LOVE MUSIC , MUSIC LOVES ME,!!

[voxhunden]

Russian pilots do a horrible job at demonstrating Russian training skills and discipline at air shows, but a tremendous job promoting Russian ejection seat manufacturers.

[TheZleky]

@voxhunden

still.. they are the greatest nation in the world...

[FlierFrank172]

@TheZleky ...Of course they are......their naval assets are sitting at the dock slowly rusting away while the air force can't get enough fuel to allow their pilots enough flight time to stay current and army troops go for months without pay. Yes....the greatest nation. Beautiful music though. Bravo for Shostakovich who wrote great music in spite of Communist efforts to stifle him.

[KiwiBloke007]

interesting choice of visuals!

[jaicle]

Stanley Kubrick would have loved it... twice ;)

[blueeyes28ful]

I love this video,There is a god when men like these exsist, I want to meet peope like this, cos the next time I fly home to my home country, I pray by God that one of them are my angel!! <3<3<3 Love them

[ricciantoni]

musica fantastica ....FILM NON CENTRA NIENTE...!!!!...AUTORE E UN CRETINO

[18911118]

INTERCOURSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN! WOW - WE PLAY THIS ONE OFTEN WHILE 'DOIN' THE THANG' ..... BOMBS AWAY!!!!!

[poopalover]

@18911118 you last 3mins 42 seconds?i'd expect a divorce pretty soon if i were you

[n0iwont]

@poopalover ....hehehehehe

[lobachevr]

эта музыка не про это , мудак автор

[Bountyhunter306]

Could you use the same footage anymore? I think the video's idea has potential, but really, you've desecrated this amazing piece :/

[ikadoriano]

Music - Fantastic, Video - shit!

[babic98]

Totally different opinion....This is a great tube

[ventolinmono]

fly war planes, listen to this shit... awesomeee

[arschka]

Pacifists may be as totallytary as party members before. Humanity idelology may be as facist thing as others. That video is stupid.

[posilipos]

Τhis is beautifull.

[xXturbo86Xx]

i never expected a video with fighter jets to go so well with this music! very nice!

[TomBarristerA]

This music was also used effectively as background for the Nero Wolfe A&E episode "Champagne for One"

[Burrisant]

A similar effect to Stanley Kubrick's use of Blue Danube in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm assuming that was the inspiration.

[soccom8341576]

@Burrisant

quite possible.

[flurmflam]

Che noia che siete tutti voi che avete scritto in italiano.

[elbazart]

A strange choice of soundtrack, yet the dissonance gives an interesting and eerie sensation.

[JustMistyCat]

@elbazart

Yeah... very strange choice :+)))

[wolfman383]

Such an incredibly composed waltz choreographed to jet fighters taking off then exploding their ordinance on ground targets?? Shostakovich must be rolling in his grave.

[vrut25]

@wolfman383 Why would Shostakovich be rolling in his grave? The fighter planes are Russian, and Shostakovich was a Russian patriot who wrote a lot of music to celebrate his country's suffering and victory over Germany and its allies in WWII. Defending Russia is just as important today, isn't it? I am sure Shostakovich would be proud.

[wolfman383]

@vrut25 You have a point, I think having some goose stepping soldiers marching to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake

would be the bomb as well

[vrut25]

@wolfman383 What's your point? Are you a pacifist? Do you get angry when you see videos of your own country's fighter planes set to classical music?

Or are you specifically a Russia-hater and think that Russian composers share your hate for Russia? That's hardly the case. For example, Wiki says:

[vrut25]

Dmitri Shostakovich, March of the Soviet Militia, for wind band, Op.139

Sergey Prokofiev - March for Military Band in Bb, Op.99

I am sure that American, French, British and other composers also wrote music for their military.

[arschka]

@vrut25

You can read, from wich surroundings people made music. But Russia may be eternal. Is EU?

[dorapezzilli]

atroce contraddizione.

[jwbrough1]

the music is perfect for this video the russian technology is awesome

[Kackfloete]

Auf eine skurrile Art und Weise gefällt mir das Video.

[90DOT]

bagus

[bosorma]

ово је нешто најлепше што сам икада видео

поздрав из Београда

[Francy274]

Miseria e nobiltà.. l'elevazione dell'uomo nella musica e il suo decadimento nella guerra .

[katieh1994]

Für uns, bleibst immer Muterchen RUSSLAND

[azzo49]

non conosco le circostanze in cui è stato composto il brano che per me è però un inno alla vita NEGAZIONE DELLA GUERRA

[cicciontek]

Che schifo la guerra

[sonyboss07]

Un jour Dieu créa des chevaliers montent de belle montures pouvans passer le mur du sons et attaqué sans fin l'ennemi!!

[jefrayte]

SYLNAJA!
