  • hecka awesome!

  • Mi fa pensare all'opera di un santo...

  • i came

  • @jockeli1 It's there.  Keep looking. ;)

  • sorry, can´t find the first movement

  • i love how none of these had any dislikes

  • Shostakovich wrote this as his own Requiem, around the time when he was forced to join Soviet Communist Party. It's dedicated to the victims of fascism, but, really, the dedication should be read as to victims of totalitarianism, Shostakovich himself included.

  • why does this sound so familiar?

  • I see why this quartet is one of the most universally preferred, perhaps even one of Shostakovich's most enjoyed piece at all. There's a bit of the usual mystery, perhaps a bit of ostentatious reference to his supposed anti-communism - or at least, most people like to believe. But this movement is the most heart-felt. Thank you for uploading!

  • definetely strange, misterious work by that great russian composer Shostakovich
