  • @unpoop Why is that the Shostakovich recordings/videos on youtube are polluted with retarded comments like yours and osmium's comment on the video of Shostakovich's 3rd quartet? I don't understand. This movement isn't sexy, and even if you're joking (which I presume you are), you sound like an idiot.

  • interesting and original section of this quartett, let us remember that this work is considered with a strong autobiographic content

see all

  • He looks like he want to suicide, and the music is matching

  • There the hell breaks loose !!!

  • I love the way he integrates Russian Gulag songs into this, along with the psycho strings, and the infamous morning knock on the door by the NKVD.

    Run and hide children, the NKVD is at the door. No matter what you hear, don't scream, don't gasp, don't even make a sound.

  • @fallenfairy19 Sounds like panic and chaos

  • @fallenfairy19 i amend myself

    at 0:55

  • this is reflecting his own feelings toward "the victims of fascism and war"

    so what emotion is this?

    it's so crazy awesome

    the second violin part is pure awesomeness

    especially first and second together at 1:00 ish

  • Looks like he just gave birth to, I don't know, String Quartet No. 8

  • I like how Shostakovich looks like he has a headache in all the pictures of the quartet recordings.

  • who has read it,I hope that will understand it. And for ''other R******'' wich are posting really ridicoulous posts on that song, PLEASE IF U DON'T LIKE IT OR IF U DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, LEAVE THE WHOLE THING ALONE AND DON'T POST ANYTHING(putting your ''stupidity'' on internet is not reccomended, coz with that you youst tell us who u are.) ENJOY IN THE MASTERPIECE GUYS... :)))))))))

  • this is really pure beauty for ears and a little bit different and genious mind from other composers. When some of ppls hear this song is for ''them'' youst another anoying classical song wich is crap, but in reality is much,much more than that (I really appoligize coz my english is crappy), this man has put his complete soul in that masterpiece and if you hear song( it's different if u are listening or if u hear) u can figure out really manny things. Ithink that nobody will read this but still
