One of the most jaw-dropping moments in modern musical documentary:

When the black and white images of Shostakovich take over from the modern Gergiev performance of the slow movement and the musical intonation and pace are so well judged.

It makes me feel very small humble and grateful in the face of such an imagination as that of DSCH.

@Oleg111222333 Как мы можем быть далеки от Великой Отечественной войны, если еще жива память о погибших в почти каждой семье бывшего СССР ( так как все республики посылали воинов)? Если забывается, то можно сходить на Пискаревское в Питере и послушать, прочитать строки из дневника Тани Савичевой. Такое нельзя забывать. Плохо, что забываете.....

@Vhbaske your comment is a mess. Could you clarify what you mean?

[Vhbaske]

What? If Stalin was a murderer, as he was, then the NAZIS should not have been resisted for this? Then the mass (super mass murders of Hitler) were justified because Stalin killed?

Удивительно, но в условиях советского и нацистского тоталитарных режимов родились такие произведения искусства, которые по своей мощи и гениальности сопоставимы разве что с произведениями эпохи Ренессанса. Шостакович и Ахматова, Булгаков и Филонов, Эйзенштейн ( в СССР) и Рифеншталь (в Германии).

мы не жили в то время и не знаем ситуации ни в стране ни в мире , а политики пишут историю , как им выгодно в политической карьере,а нас всех принимают за дебилов

I wonder why they omitted the sixth symphony in the documentary.
