Bernstein´s recording is one of the worst imo. Completely loses the the subtleties of the piece in favor of just speed and chaos. Even the performance of the orchestra itself is severely lacking with bad intonation and things. The 2014 recording with London symphony orchestra and I think it was Maxim Shostakovich conducting is way better imo.

We played this as our college football band halftime entrance, though with consistent tempo. And, of course, very heavy on the low brass. It was really satisfying to play.

ショスタコ本人はずっとソビエトに居て作曲していたわけで、音楽なんかちっとも分かんない共産党の幹部に意味不明なダメ出しをくらい続けてさんざん「自己批判」させられたりしてウンザリする中、見返すために死ぬ思いで作曲してようやく共産党にも認めさせることができたのがこの曲。表向きは「革命」とタイトルをつけ、ソビエト共産主義革命の勝利を高々と歌い上げた曲と言っていた。「強制された歓喜」なんて口が裂けても死ぬまで言ってない。 後の彼の研究者が「きっとそういう意味を込めていたんでしょう」と言ってるだけなんだけど、説得力ある話とされています。

Grant Darnell It's a forced finale with a mocking tone at times, the dissonance throughout the movement adds to the feeling of something not being right as if the orchestra and music is being forced, much like a forced march. Shostakovich did this as a sort of hidden protest against soviet oppression and censor and is lucky the Soviets didn't see that or he would've been disappeared.

Is there any actual evidence that he wrote it as a "hidden protest?" Like I get that it's a nice idea and there was that book that claimed all those things, but I'm pretty sure it's been thoroughly discredited since then. Also like that would be monumentally stupid, considering he had relatively recently pulled his 4th symphony (a far more avant-garde work) from its premier because of its modernist qualities.

@@trombonegamer14 Really. I think it's a great disservice to musicology that anti-Soviet takes of music are seemingly accepted without a whiff of evidence. While I understand that it supports the governing regime, these sorts of takes (when unsupported) completely undermine the field of study if it turns out to be nothing but propaganda.
