Much like Stravinsky, Schnittke often uses the instruments outside their normal registers, giving their sound an intense, more harmonically complex quality. Plus, he regularly uses less common instruments such as the celesta, snare drum, gong, tubular bells, etc. His orchestrations are pure genius.

The more I listen to this piece the more I understand that this is a very serious symphonic work, very modern, monumental, and this is music for 21st century.

Symphonic and chamber works can sound good. If the musicians and conductor are giving their all. If the sound engineers did their job well. If the recording transfers well to KZread. If the piece itself is worth your time. Rare is it when all of these things coalesce. And rare is my pleasure now, hearing this splendid piece yet again for the veritable "umpteenth" time.

Arte, oficio, maestría y genialidad. No me canso de escuchar esta música. Schnittke es uno de mis músicos favoritos.

Schnittke was a master of making his full scale symphonic works accessible for general public, good example, he made his music lighter, more conventional and yet it is the same complex Schnittke, 21st century music. His music for cinema is beautiful, opens new horizons, prepares you for his symphonic works.

These impure tones right at the beginning of the introduction. Is this a kind of hopelessness? What`s going on with these tones. Can you believe it? You cannot understand great art. Great art is overwhelming.

Начало прошлого века - расцвет символизма. Посмотрел фильм "Агония", многое понял, Элем Климов создал фильм, опираясь на символы. Также и гениальный Шнитке.

Great composer. Great music.

This musical themes he repeats for most of his career makes his work even more curious and interesting. My life is another composer after knowing the works of Schnittke.

Soy argentino. No conocía a este compositor. Y me encanta. ¡A los 12.25 tiene un tango!

It was not very long ago that there was very little of Schnittke's music in/on You tube and now all of a sudden a much larger amount is available. His symphonies range from total satire to very serious and his choral music is being performed more often in more places. When I purchased a CD of his 8th Symphony w/ his "Suite from The Census List" it became obvious that his ability to compose in very different styles was like changing clothes!

The Walts is greatly influence mainly by Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Shnittke used to be one of the great avant-gaudes of the 20th century but his film music is a different story.

He was one of the last great musical geniuses. An innovator. Time was cruelly against him. But he created wonderful work. It is always commitment music that makes you sit up, touches something deeply. I heard his music at the Proms, possibly early 90s. He came out after the work was played, looking extremely frail, acknowledging the huge clamour of Proms appreciation! Never to be forgotten.

Schnittke was one of favorite students of Shostakovich, but certain influence you noticed is not only an impact of a mentor. The whole Soviet concert stage was dominated by great two: Shostakovich and Prokofiev. And not all among Soviet musicians liked it. In recent times, many began to question whether it was really good: the dominance of these two left several others in a shadow for too long. I like both of them Shostakovich and Prokofiev as well as Schnittke and Sveridov (both favorite students of Shostakovich) but there is some validity in challenging the two giants.

И фильм хороший, хоть и не правдивый, как все фильмы о царской семье и Распутине. Но музыка правдиво передает атмосферу времени.

***** I think he is, but Agony is a film about Raspoutin, which explains the picture.
