  • The last few passages of this symphony are like listening to the wind blowing through a burned out village. You can't separate the artist from his times - truly breathtaking.

  • This is so fantastic. Goosebumps! Thank you :)!

  • Eerie and compelling. Thank you for uploading.

    How wonderful that silence between the end and the applause.

  • This sympphony was (have I read) under rehercing when the Pravda article acused som musicans for formalism. The las movement should in this case have been unschanged too. But if this is true I really do not kow. Anyhow the final is a milestone in symphonic music no doubt.

  • Brilliant Shostakovich!!  Stupid and ignorant Stalin!

  • Our GCSE Music class went to listen to this piece and it was excellent, I wasn't expecting an ending quite so beautifully haunting as this. I usually listen to metal and stuff but this was like a chilling breath of fresh air.

    That tune on the violin at 2:14 is just so amazing and then the celesta at 2:24 - fucking jaw dropping.

    At the end of the piece there was the longest drawn out silence I had ever experienced - I think everyone was taken by the poignancy of the piece.

  • @Akaki59 He finished the last movement just after the Pravda article in Jan '36- it's apparently a 'creative response' to being called a formalist.

  • absolutely love the celesta
