3:03 my fave camera work of the night.

How does a composer write a symphony that is humorous and satirical but also profoundly emotional and serious, without making it seem contradictory and illogical? If he is a consummate master of his art, a supremely gifted and inspired one such as Shostakovich, he can do so in a month's time, turning out a masterpiece full of personal significance, at once enigmatic but communicative, a work of strength and beauty. Maestro Orozco-Estrada brings all these attributes in the score to life perfectly through his marvelous orchestra. Bravo!

He does it, perhaps, by recognizing that humor and satire are two of the things we turn to as deflections from the inevitability of our death -- which is, of course, what the last ten seconds of complete silence at the very end of the symphony are all about.

Yes It’s like Beethoven op. 131 It got suffering , happiness, hope , despair and jokes inside. For me, Shostakovich should have the same position with Beethoven and Mozart!

The end of this symphony is one of the most frightening episodes in symphonic music. I don't want to speak in cinematic clichés, but it seems to me that the composer, when composing this, clearly saw the presence of Death.

I think that Shostakovich was not only one of the greatest composers in the 20th centuy, but also one of the bravest and greatest men also. What he went through, what he conveyed surreptitiously in his music, the depths of his profundity, words escape me.

This is a first class orchestra.

Hats off, gentlemen (and ladies), geniuses! Composer, conductor, and orchestra. And the audio engineering in this series borders on the miraculous.

What a fabulous opening flute solo by Clara Andrada de la Calle. She is some talent!

Welche der großartigen Sinfonien Schostakowitschs man besonders mag, ist reine Geschmacksache, denn phantastisch sind sie alle. Seine letzte, voller Wärme, Ironie und Leidenschaft, hat mich am meisten überrascht. Die letzten Minuten klingen für mich so, als habe der Komponist seine eigene Beerdigung in Musik umgesetzt. Fast höre ich, wie sein Sarg ins Grab hinabfährt, völlig ohne Trauer oder Resignation. Wahrscheinlich ist Schostakowitsch für die Sinfonik des 20. Jahrhunderts der großartigste Mann nach Mahler. Und das schreibe ich als Fan von Richard Strauss :-)

I am back to hear this again and it is still just extraordinary. Great work by the percussion and the wonderful 1st chair musicians. Just another wonderful experience from a world-class orchestra and its superstar conductor.

Killer piece! The Rossini quotes are funny! The playing of the orchestra is as virtuosic as it gets!

Shostakovich himself described the first movement : " A toy store under a clear, blue sky"

Sensitive, insightful interpretation by Maestro Orozco-Estrada, bringing much clarity to this enigmatic score. Beautiful sound from the ensemble, and beautiful solos throughout. The end of this piece gets me every time -- the final symphony of a dying man -- the major chord resolution is the quiet coda of a tortured, haunted man, finally at peace.

I love how that chord gets completed and fades out together in the end.

How fresh and timeless the music by Schostacovitch sounds. Thank you

Grotesque in all the right ways, with the flute, trumpet and especially the bassoon really setting the tone in a perfect fashion. Rossini would have been tickled pink to be quoted by Shostakovich!

Agree. It probably helps that it is less well known, but all the same - what sort of a person do you have to be to think that people want to hear you interrupt the end of the piece with your loud mouth? A monster - that's who.

This symphony has the original and perfectly defined Shostakovich's style. It reminds me a lot his piano. First piano concerto with trumpet. Awesome!!

The best world's orchestra plays one of the best symphonies of the XXth century

Bravo, magnifique, excellent maestro Andrés Orozco. Merci !

Extraordinary symphony and the conclusion is a work of genius - not only does it represent the end of his output but also the end of symphonic writing, there's been no composer to replace Shostakovich and I seriously doubt there ever will be.

I was lucky enough to witness this performance live. It was the first time ever for me to listen to Shostakovich and it was SUCH a blast! The energy and dynamic of this orchestra was so amazing and this composition - I was charmed from the first second.

My first exposure to this symphony and, as usual with Shostakovich, I was fascinated by his use of the various sections of the orchestra. The percussion section was particularly used to great effect. I will sorely miss Maestro Estrada when he joins the Vienna Philharmonic. I have grown to consider him the best conductor in the world. His Mahler is remarkable and is even better than Bernstein. And thank you KZread for creating such a nourishing venue for great music.

And this fabulous orchestra HR Frankfurt conducted by Maestro Orozco-Estrada take us to other dimension : magnificent soloist and party of great musicians them all!!! BRAVO Bravissimo!!

This piece has a deceptively playful opening, but is covertly cruel and grotesque until its malevolence is fully revealed in the fourth movement. An extraordinary piece, with a sly wink at the end as the demon saunters out unscathed. There is no one like Shostakovich!

@davidj.7779

When Shostakovich originally began sketching the 15th, he wrote to a friend he wanted to compose a "merry symphony" to mark his 65th birthday. While finishing the piece he was afflicted with a reoccurrence of Polio as well as increasing heart problems. He wrote to friends how hard he was working to finish the 15th. Perhaps these strong reminders of his mortality crept in to the score far more than he originally intended.
