    My God, what a piece! It comes lolloping at you sideways, like a horror version of a comedy music hall song. Grotesque, grinning, majestic, beautiful, mystical, surreal ... God how I love Shostakovich.

    I first saw a performance of this work in the mid 1960s. It was in the Albert Hall in London and was performed by the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra under Gennady Roschestvenski. It was the first time that a foreign orchestra had performed at the Proms. It was also the first time that there had been a broadcast on BBC 2 in COLOUR!. As always the promenaders had their little joke and held up cards saying "Welcome Gennady" (in Russian) and other cards saying "Do not adjust your sets" (because the colours, .e.g. blue, were painted in the wrong colour.) It was an electric performance and one that will stay with me forever.

    Sang this many years ago while in the New Orleans Symphony Chorus. The Symphony at the time had the great honor of having Dmitri Shostakovich's son, Maxim, as music director. He was such a joy to work under. We sang this in English. Maxim S took the time to explain why things were happening - such as at 19:20 with the "happy" music as the crowd is exhorted to dance. He explained that the soldiers probably had guns trained on the crowd - "dance or die". And that ending, where Stepan Razin got the last laugh! Whoa! Didn't see that coming!

    Of his discontented band
    And the lovely Persian princess

    Out across the distant land.

    And has cast her where the waters
    Of the Volga roll and sigh.

      It's by Sergei Kirillov, and I've sadly not seen any prints available, though I'm sure a company or two out there would be willing to.

      Especially at 4:08; I can imagine the bass drum being artillery/cannons (depends what era you're in)

      @warwickthekingmaker7281 6 років тому +1

      I actually believe this is a bit heavy for civ V. there are certainly pieces that are better as war music without sounding like a wicked demonic ritual. (I love this piece regardless)
