Yes.... I'm currently 65 and a retired band director. There are a few tunes I still recall by name from MY high school Concert Band (my absolute favorites), and this leads the way!! I played the piccolo, and my best friend shared a stand (and a passion for playing great works) with me. As I listen to this, my fingers STILL fly across an imaginary piccolo. Loved those rips!
That's because most people don't go to symphony concerts to HEAR the music. Most people go to symphony concerts to WATCH the music being performed. As ridiculous as it might seem, to these people music is a VISUAL experience, rather than like for the rest of us, it is an AUDITORY experience.
At PROMS? Not in the US. They won't ask their band/orchestra to play. They don't educate musicians in public high school to be competent; the school boards have spent a lot of time allocating the dwindling amount of federal scholastic funding toward showier things. Like, Ikn, sports? Or...? I'm not even sure what their priorities are anymore.
@@sealyoness I don’t know where you’re from in the US but in states like Texas, music education is an extremely important part. Watch our marching bands, listen to our all state concert bands, even our all region bands and you can tell the arts are extremely important. If you want to listen to incredible music programs from throughout the US, listen to ensembles in the Midwestern clinic. Not every program is at the level of the ones there, but we can’t all be winners.
My daughter played it too , in Grade 12 on flute and in Grade 13(Ontario, Camada) on tuba. It was so enthusiastically played that the bass drum player, a friend of hers, broke through the bass drum in the last seconds!
So glad to see this back on UA-cam. It's been taken down several times for copyright reasons. Hopefully this channel is able to keep this amazing performance up!
4:00 mark is quintessential Shostakovich - and in particular the sonorities at 4:08 are what make his music leap into another realm altogether. You know you’re gonna have a good day if you wake up with this ringing in your head.
The word "overture" doesn't do justice to the greatness of this piece. This should have been a movement of one of his patriotic symphonies. It is absolutely overwhelming and as you listen, you "sit back" and suddenly realize the power of music to move and the power of music to inspire. Shostie absolutely "hit his target" with this piece. That middle slower section absolutely brings me to tears everytime I hear it. To think that he wrote it to impress Stalin and the other political leaders that were persecuting him at the time of its writing.
This is awfully fast, but it's because I slowed down when I got old? I tried to key into it with my concert flute, and found that it isn't in A major. But 7 months later, I don't care. One of the most fun pieces to play in orchestra and bless you if you played it too.
I have always liked Shostakovich for music that does not feel overly introspective or foreboding, however I am partial to Rachmaninov for his more reflective, personal, and complex voice.
Awww man give me a break with the Russia stuff. There are a lot of other countries that could play the hell out of this piece like the London Sym. or the Chicago Sym. Russia needs to stop messing with Americas elections and stop with the Computer hacking that what RUSSIA needs to do. SMMFH
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 We did it well. We even heard us, and we weren't even in high school yet. But that was then; our teacher was intent on us being as good as we could be until we could get a few miles under our instruments and grow a few inches. 8th grade. I LOVED playing this. I can't stand the idea that no one of this generation in US public school will be allowed to learn to play or compose.
Absolutely. European orchestras typically tune to 442 Hz approximately while Americans tune to 440. So technically A442 is closer to B-flat than A-flat when tuning to 440. A-flat when tuned to 440 sounds too low, but that’s just my opinion.
@Qboid I've been told that some European orchestras tune to either 442 or 443. But that was from a music teacher many years ago. I guess most of the UK tunes to 440 as does the US.
I had to respond to someone's comment. If Stalin died the year before this piece was written, knowing Shostakovich, he wrote it in celebration of his death, not in sympathy for his death! There is a sense of "truth" in the piece that aligns with the idea that Russia is better off without Stalin and I am sure Shostie felt this too!!!
I dream of a world where the humans that discipline themselves to this level are adequately compensated.
I think Dmitri Shostakovich would approve of this performance.
This is my favorite recording, I almost cried when it was taken down
Weird. The old recording also had a trumpet split at 1:40. This one doesn't have it.
@@voraten7206 I noticed that actually, but I guess that makes this recording more "Official" or whatever
Yeah! I was mad when it got taken down!
We performed this in high school with full symphony. Still one of my very favorite pieces we performed. I played the bassoon at the time.
This is a pretty mid recording of this piece
I've always considered this piece to be the best opener for a classical concert, and this particular rendition doesn't disappoint!
Where was the standing ovation?! That was so tight and outstanding! Lukewarm audience, give credit where it’s due 🙄
Still one of my all time favorites from Symphonic Band in high school
First piece I ever played in HS band

I played it in an All County Honor band. Euphonium.
Same And I have loved this piece ever since
金管楽器の音が最高！！ピンと張り詰めていて、それでいて丸みを帯びた美しい音✨✨とにかくテンションが上がります。素敵な演奏をありがとうございます！
This fantastic piece always puts a smile on everyone's face.
Rest In Peace Maestro Temirkanov
The audience’s Lukewarm response shows that such brilliant performances are not for such people.
*_They are Swedes. If you merely say hello to them they will melt. The most introverted people on earth xd_*
@@MadKingOfMadaya LMAO!!!!!

They were evidently there to be seen, not to hear.
The applause was warm, not lukewarm. You don't need to show appreciation by having a loud orgasm.
Brought back fond memories when our high school band won superior rating in a concert band competition. Love this piece.
The brass instruments sound great！ So nice to hear them all so taut, and rounded, so beautiful✨✨Thank you for the Great video！！
Bassi tuba😊
this is the best recording I've heard so far and what a gem! Bravo!
If Shostakovitch was still here - he might say Yes thats how it should be done - brilliant performance.
Shostakovich illuminates The Triumph of Art OVER human suffering
well, its not a lie 😂
holy moly.....that was BRILLIANT!!! JUST FANTASTIC. Breathless!!!
I went to see this at the proms this year (2021) teamed with Mahler 5th symphony absolutely wonderful !!!

@@sealyoness late, but i think he means the BBC Proms concert series, not high school prom dance.
Demon speed, and still really clean and amazing.
I come back to this recording just to hear the violin’s spiccato. Cleanest I’ve ever heard.
Played this in high school (euphonium) and it was my favorite piece, very difficult but so rewarding. Amazing performance!
also played this piece on euph in wind ensemble. Was by far the the most challenging piece I was ever tasked to play, but it was a blast
My daughter played it too , in Grade 12 on flute and in Grade 13(Ontario, Camada) on tuba. It was so enthusiastically played that the bass drum player, a friend of hers, broke through the bass drum in the last seconds!

Temirkanov looks like he is waving his hands while looking at the latest paper on string theory. Orchestra sounds brilliant.
This is hilarious to me as my chamber orchestra in university was called "String Theory" 😆
Thank the powers that be that humanity has managed to produce people of such ability that they can conceive of such brilliant beautiful music.
They are fantastic - so talented

I love this recording. I could not find it anywhere.
One of the first songs I played in my high school symphonic band. This song is what made me love classical music! Well played!
Most amazing performance of this piece I have ever heard
truly, a great performance with outstanding brass that has a little jazz and a bit of swing
So far, evertime I listened to it, I cry.
とっても華やかで嬉しさや喜びをを最大限に表現しているところが大好きです。
Bright and optimistic piece!
This is awfully fast, but it's because I slowed down when I got old? I tried to key into it with my concert flute, and found that it isn't in A major. But 7 months later, I don't care. One of the most fun pieces to play in orchestra and bless you if you played it too.
ショスタコービッチ作曲祝典序曲はブラスセクションの名演奏により何時聴いても気持ちが高まります。 素晴らしい！
Superb performance.Very exciting.Truly wonderful.Temirkanov is a brilliant conductor.
YES HE IS!!! Perfection!
He was best with Russian music.
I have always liked Shostakovich for music that does not feel overly introspective or foreboding, however I am partial to Rachmaninov for his more reflective, personal, and complex voice.
The overture was featured in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow
uau !!!! the best Orqchestra Top the best Yuri Temirkanov
guys my band is playing this
The French horn section of the Vienna Philharmonic are absolutely the best in the entire world!
bit of a random comment, this ain't the Vienna phil
@yundichen8332 Opps... my comment was suppost to post on the Vienna horns playing film music from Jurrasic Park.
Brilliant performance from everyone what a piece of incredible writing.
My FAVORITE OVERTURE played so WELL ! RUSSIA 🇷🇺really knows there MUSIC WELL !!!!
Awww man give me a break with the Russia stuff. There are a lot of other countries that could play the hell out of this piece like the London Sym. or the Chicago Sym. Russia needs to stop messing with Americas elections and stop with the Computer hacking that what RUSSIA needs to do. SMMFH

@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 it's cause Shostakovich is a Russian composer you dork
Didnt know Shosti had this light it in him
2:36 can pose an intonation problem even for professionals I see.
Holy sweet mother of Christ where has this recording been?!
Goosebumps every time.
Muchas gracias y saludos cordiales desde Mallorca
Our band teacher made us play this for wind ensemble this past year.fun some to listen to but not to play….especially when you’re a sophomore
Lol you have a great band teacher. Mine was the same. It makes you better
Man they did a fantastic job 👏🏿 Bravo
I prefer this edition (A Major) than the edition for concert band that's in A-flat Major.
Muy lindo, fantástico!
Sound wise, I absolutely agree, but playing wise, as a clarinetist Ill happily take 2 flat major over 5 sharp major any day haha
Absolutely. European orchestras typically tune to 442 Hz approximately while Americans tune to 440. So technically A442 is closer to B-flat than A-flat when tuning to 440. A-flat when tuned to 440 sounds too low, but that’s just my opinion.
Well, yeah, but A Maj is a terrible key for many concert band instruments. B Maj. for clarinets/and trumpets!? Yikes!
@Qboid I've been told that some European orchestras tune to either 442 or 443. But that was from a music teacher many years ago. I guess most of the UK tunes to 440 as does the US.

And John Wick on the timpani slays the end
I can just see one of those massive banners with Stalin's profile!
Гений! Что тут скажешь?

Why do we hate each other ????
I had to check my settings for playback speed. This was cookin'! I'm pretty sure it's not the original speed... Probably for copyright reasons

In my mind this orchestral masterpiece is Shosty's celebration of the death of Joseph Stalin the previous year.
