J'adore ce morceau ! J'espère que je le jouerai un jour (je suis pianiste!)!

[CrisValenzuela]

Merci beaucoup! I don't speak french, but thank you. It's a great piece, and very worthwhile to perform. Good luck with your studies!

Looking at the other recordings on you tube. This trio did pretty amazing. But i would have to agree, shostakovich wasn't this lalala, it needs more of a digsusting twoing.

[CrisValenzuela]

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I think you would love listening to the definitive recording performed by Shostakovich, Oistrakh, and Rostropovich.

[donaldcallen]

Do you mean Shostakovich-Oistrakh-Sádlo? If Shostakovich and Oistrakh recorded this with Rostropovich, I am unaware of it.

[CrisValenzuela]

Yeah, I meant Sádlo, my files were labeled wrong.

Cheers.

I think AZNCUTIE99999 is totally right.

this piece was dedicated of the memory of the holocaust victims, just like you said, and thats why it needs to be more dramatic scary, and shocking, it cant be played like a Mozart music.

you need to shoe the Pain and the Suffer that people went threw the holocaust.

Btw, sorry for the bad English.

@CrisValenzuela She said: I love the piece, I hope I can play it one day, I'm a pianist.

A question for the cellist. I really enjoyed the glissandi you played on some of the pizzicato notes (e.g. at 0:26) - emphasizing the Klezmer aspect of the music. But is this in the score, or a piece of artistic license? It seems to work for me, but I wonder if a purist would object?

[darkpdxwolf]

Very nice... I think a piece like this would sound good with more than one of each of the strings, but then again, I didn't write it :D

Good job mate :)

Felicidades por la interpretación. Yo al igual que Sarahuadry espero poder tocarla algún día, también intento ser pianista.

[AllenWalkerDes]

I love this opus of schostakowitsch!!!! i ve searched for it and i found it!!! :) happy day !

[beethomozart]

this 4th and last movement of this trio, allegretto is a true macabre dance, frenetic, sarcastic, that lead us directly to the last string quartetts and symphonies by Shostakovich himself

I like music

i believe shostakovich repeats his name (via 4 notes) throughout string quartet no. 8. SQ8 quotes this piece & others, so it is possible that he included his name throughout this piece as well. also, the waltz part is pretty much the darkest-sounding waltz you'll ever hear & its b/c he didnt like stalin (& stalin's regime made sure that music was strictly russian or whatever, so it seems that shostakovich would often comply but in a sort of defiant way... BUT I AM NO EXPERT YET!!!)
