  • THIS STUFF IS INSANE

  • I attended their performance of the Eighth in Chicago, 1962. It was an overwhelming experience.

  • Absolutely extraordinary! 

  • Too bad we don't get a chance to see the orchestra up close, lousy camera job...

  • I didnt understand some guys comments...They said that....come on .this is Shostakovich..,Mravinsky...you guys didn,t know about that...this is so genius..so just shut up your dirty stupid mouth....just Get Lost!!

  • @MrCellistus Knowing that this symphony was written and/or performed during WWII probably caused me to think of the Nazis. Otherwise I too might be more reminded of Stalin while listening to it. Brutal yet beautiful piece of music this is.
