  • I am watching this after reading the news, and all the stupidly awful things going on in the world right now... Я больше ничево не понимаю, and written in the throes of WWII and Stalin's deathgrip on the people of Russia, I think this piece expresses that feeling of grief, anger, and bewilderment perfectly. Part 1/7 made me cry, and this one is giving me goosebumps. I've always loved this piece, and this interpretation is Epic with a capital E.

  • die Erklärung dafür, dass es in Schostakovitschs Symphonien keine Klimax gab, besteht darin, dass innerhalb eines menschlichen Lebens nur temporäre Siege des Guten bzw. des Bösen möglich sind, zumindest glaube ich das, wenn ich seine Musik höre

  • very impressive interpretation - bravo for rostropovich

  • hmm.. this forte is too fast for me...

  • please, part 3/7!
