  • Truly, Shostakovich was great, but I wonder how many people knew him before they read Vollmann...

  • While the triple repetition in the fourth movement is like some kind of execution, with the subtle shift in harmony having us wonder: does the sacrifice of people in wars actually improve anything.. ? This moves on to an elegaic slow-moving stream of music, every bit as impressive as the slow movement of the 'Eroica' - which is really dealing with the same emotional territory. The coda, recalls the most poignant moments of Tippett's Concerto for Double String Orchestra or Strauss's 4Last Songs

  • It is like a dreadful, evil waltz of bad spirits as well as being a parody of nationalistic cliches (the martial ta-ta-tum-tee-taa) recalling the absurdly overdone C major cadence at the end of the Trumpet and Piano Concerto.

  • Yes, this is from the Eighth Quartet - a response to the bombing of Dresden by the Allies. The word you want is mournful - l mourningful is very poetic. Noble Savage is allusion to Rousseau. To call yourself thus is somewhat vainglorious! I think the quartet version is much stronger. Strangely enough the Latvians do not play this very passionately,so far as I can judge on a tiny computer.

  • My comment IS NOT SPAM. I just simply had many mistake, :S

  • 8:37

    I always found that interlude of nostalgia after the devastation of the movement to be most heart wrenching--no doubt alluding to World War 2 [Shostakovich, as always, was pushed to isolate his dedication only to fascism--since he trapped in Communist Russia and eventually joined the party]

    Thanks for posting
