Gergiev: The unique person who conducts Shostakovich with a toothpick and humiliates them all.

This piece is by far one of the greatest symphonies of all time.

Well it got the biggest standing ovation ever, on its's premiere. The audience stood up before it ended and the applause lasted until the theater lights went out.

False. Many conductors successfully conduct with hands alone. Not even with a stupid toothpick.

Shostakovich can rest sound, knowing his music hurts people in ways that are profound. Thank you for your brief 60 years of composition, we would all be less without you.

Thank you for your great composing and performance by my measure 1st mov. 01:00 - 2nd mov. 16:23 - 3rd mov. 21:33 - 4th mov. 36:40 -

Just my opinion, the Mariinsky Theater Orchestra does the BEST interpretation of Shostakovich's symphonies of anyone.

@alexchristopher221

This is certainly among the top ones. Have you heard the recordings of the 5th with Ashkenazy and the RPO (Decca) or Kurt Sanderling with the BSO? The latter's live recording is available on KZread. Sanderling consulted with Shostakovich himself.

well, this is a Russian composer being played by a Russian orchestra led by a Russian conductor in a Russian theatre in a great Russian city, so they'd better come up with the best interpretation

This is truly one of if not the best performances of this symphony

How he has written that unison Clarinet and Bassoon in the 4th Movement always hits me in the Soul and the to the End ughhhhhh Bravo Bravo Bravo

Shostakovich’s music - Slightly discordant but at the same time full of melody. Genius

Nein ist es nicht. Klar kann man nicht von jedem Künstler erwarten sich politisch zu positionieren. Am besten ist es sowieso, sie machen ihre Kunst und halten sich ansonsten aus Politik heraus. Das hat Gergiev in der Vergangenheit aber nicht getan. Er hat sich immer an Putins Seite gestellt, hat die "Spezialoperation" in Georgien gutgeheißen, ebenso wie die Annexion der Krim. Das so jemand als Chefdirigent untragbar geworden ist, ist völlig klar. Nur hätte das alles schon von vornherein klar sein müssen. Er hätte den Posten nie bekommen dürfen.

Thank you for sharing this. I love Shostakovich and Gergiev. I am reading Shostakovich's letters (he wrote thousands of letters) and this helps me to understand the man, the historical period and his music.

Massive, impressive and remarkable performance! This is one masterpiece which deserves an execution of this level.

Several years ago, I was lucky enough to hear a Valery Gergiev concert at Chapel Hill, NC.

I can't deny the excellence and tightness of this performance....scintillating.

Невероятное количество эмоций во время прослушивания: от гнева, тревожности, неопределенности, - до интереса, восторга, катарсиса. Что должен испытывать композитор, чтобы создавать подобные шедевры! Дирижёр с оркестром аж припотели. 👏✨️🎯

36:37 "this is where the fun begins" I absolutely love the finale, and the whole song. best I've heard ever!

その頃のソビエトの芸術家は政府の方針に従わないと、大変な弾圧を受けたと聞いています。そのような厳しい状況下でも、素晴らしい作品を残してくれたショスタコーヴィチ。天才という言葉だけでは足りない、強い意志を感じます。

Tremendous Performance deserving a standing ovation !!!!!

Спасибо Гергиеву, музыкантам за отличное исполнение симфонии гениального Шостаковича! А как звучит флейта!..

@@jacquesmalassingne398 Merci de votre réponse et cette forme de commentaire. Depuis des années j’écoute les œuvres de Shostakovich, et à chaque fois je suis sous le charme, même si dans la plupart des cas, parler de charme n’est peut être pas le mot exact qu’il faut employer tellement cette musique nous secoue comme aucune autre. Je ne vais pas en faire la liste, mais en écoutant la 7, la 11, la 4, et encore la 10, il y a de quoi devenir fou, mais surtout en totale admiration pour le compositeur à se demander quel grain de folie animait le compositeur. Il faut dire que de grands chefs se sont cassés les dents sur la plupart des symphonies. Les magiciens tels que Berglund ( la 11 ) la 4 par Haitink, la 8 par Mravinsky, et encore d’autres sont des exceptions. Je reste sans voix pour ces chefs qui abordent la musique de Shostakovich d’une façon aussi miraculeuse. J’oublie sans aucun problème les autres qui devaient changer de registre. … On ne ressort pas indemne après une écoute de la 4, la 8, la 7, et c’est là où va mon admiration pour D. Shostakovich pour pouvoir composer ses admirables symphonies alors qu’autour de lui les hyènes étaient à l’affût. Celui qui n’a jamais écouté Shostakovich, celui là, je le plains, car il passe par un oubli sans nom. Et puis merci Jacques.

Such a amazing and historic sinfony! We can clearly hear the military scenary, the Shostakovich reaction to the URSS sistem, the deep sadness (in the trird mov.) and the super finale of this masterpiece. Excellent orquestra and excellent condition. BRAVO!! 👏👏👏👏

Grandísimo Shostakóvich, nadie como el expresó los sentimientos del ser humano con tanta fuerza, excetuando a Beethoven.

Wow, the spirit in this performance! I will always remember Gergiev as one of the greatest conductors.

The third movement of symphony no. 5. I can only listen to it at a time when I have the strength to go into that particular world, with Shostakovich. I have the impression that Valéry Gergiev knows what I mean.

Thanks you very much for this great work ...

In an interview I heard some years go, cellist Mstslav Rostropovitch (a close friend to Shostakovitch) told the host that Shostakovitch used to complain that people were playing the finale to fast, making it sound like a victory lap (my paraphrase.) He had intended it to be allegretto so the despair comes through. (I won't retell the history of this symphony here.) And, of course, Stalin just loved it that way. That said, I like the faster performances better; they are much more enjoyable listening. Case in point: This performance. WOW! I must be a musical barbarian.. 😁

Shostakovich is my favorite modern composer. Brilliant he is.

Heard this live. Never heard it before. Was blown away.

No question about it. The fourth movement is simply shattering. For example, listen to the tympani playing the repeated f-a in the final bars of the piece. Makes one's hairs stand up on end. Solti's performance is my favourite.

Es una obra profundamente introspectiva POR parte del compositor. El tercer tema Largo VA sumiendo AL oyente al menos a mí en una lenta angustia y pesadumbre que es lo que trasmite el autor su sentir por la represión estalinista de la que era víctima y en general el pueblo ruso. Magistralmente dirigida por Gergiev a quien en el tema Largo se ve su cara conmovida.
