Nice! Fantastic music. I have all 15 of his symphonies. One of my favorite composers. There are videos of Bernstein talking about Shostakovich, how much he admires him and his music.

Thanks for posting, as part of your already famous classic Sundays

[@davidlevine1697]

thanks for posting, great composition. awesome orchestra.
something my mother would have loved. she was the classical afficanado in our house.
after i was a very bad boy at the age of 16 i was sent to a boarding school. every morning after breakfast we would all have to gather in the "big room" and listen to classical music for a half hour before class. it truly made a difference when we had to listen, learn and study. music like this opens your mind and makes you so much more receptive to the world around you IMO.

That was one of the best performances of the piece I've ever heard. Thanks, Brian

Wonderfully uplifting piece! Made me feel like I should get somewhere in a hurry!!! 🤣

Thank you Brian! What a way to start a Sunday morning! Shostakovich was a leader of Russian composition in the 20th century. He was born in 1906 and his first symphony, of 15 premiered in 1926! he was an accepted member of the Soviet government. He died in 1975. His music pushed the envelop of modern music. Some of his music is easy to listen to, such as this overture and some takes some getting used to. My friends who are, were, instrumentalists, always said his work stretched their abilities. A side note; if you were in a place were swearing was frowned upon, a strong "Shostakovich!" made a dandy substitute!

thanks for the info.

When I saw this, my thought was “is this something I haven’t heard?” Then I realized it is Festive Overture. I have played Trumpet on this multiple times and conducted it multiple times, and I must say that it is one of the most exciting works to both perform and conduct in the entire literature!

[@rogermacik5519]

From an untrained eye and ear, that was beautiful. And I must say in most orchestras, you will find the most talented and intelligent people in the world.

Jeff, great performance of one my favs. Played the concert band transcription in college many years ago. Not to hijack your thread, but wanted let you know about an excellent band performance of this piece -
(ua-cam.com/video/MDIkhOgztzc/v-deo.html).
You would probably also enjoy his Sym. No. 5. There's a great video on UA-cam of this piece with Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic.

Just be warned . . . while he is a favorite of mine, most of Shostakovich is not this way. It tends to be very dark, a bit harsh and brutal, and often viewed through the lens of politics.
