Haunting!

I never thought about it, but it must very nerve-wracking for the trombones to have to play that introduction in the fourth movement after resting for all of 14 minutes or so.

It appears that Bass has 5 strings. That is unusual

1:58!!!!!! so amazing... this = definitely one of the best movements ever made i think, it messes with my mind :)

Which orchestra is this?

I had friends seeing me play Shostakovich 5 tonight and they wanted me to smile more. So I really really tried to tap into the music's feeling and look for happy bits... however, when this movement came along, I got sooooo sad!

Shostakovich premiered this symphony on november 21, 1937 during the terrible stalisnistic regime and was accused of a formalist, so he had to change in future works his "manners" to adjust to the ruler on power



This is, in my opinion, one of the best movements of music ever written period.
