thanks for uploading! hey, anyone hear the beethoven op. 131 reference?

This piece isn't exactly 'atonal,' not completely at least. It actually follows an old church mode called the "Locrian" scale, in which the half-steps are located betveen the I and II tones, and the IV and V tones. Go re-learn your music theory, people.

Just don't give up on Shostakovitch, keep on listening to his music and you may develop an ear for him. Or taste.

I didn't know there existed a violin transcription of these pieces. I really love them.

Oh my god! I've been looking for this for at least a few years now! cant believe ive found a video of an old master playing these.
I did the three fantastic dances for my diploma, and wanted to find a decent rendition of it. At least i found it now :)

Outstanding!

Well, it's what they say - either you love Shostakovich or you hate him (although you're the third kind, or so it seems, hehe)=)
Shosta forever!

ah, i wrote that comment almost a year ago i think; during the phase where i "didn't like" atonal music, or really anything relatively modern. I've had quite a bit more listening experiences since then. it really is a fantastic piece, and shosti 5 is one of my favorite symphonies.
