Although I am fairly sure the Kremer performance is slightly better, I can't find it in its entirety like this performance. This performance is so incisive that my senses are fairly STUNG by the incredible musicianship and shaping going on. Would have loved to be in this audience....better, to have been the keyboardist in this performance. WOW.
Of course, as the political and religious authorities of the Russian Federation remind us (and mind you, they are spiritual), this is the decadent music of the corrupted (nihilistic) Western world. But I like it. Immensely.
Its a dark stormy night. A couple whose car has broken down (its a bit rocky horror) look for help at a nearby house. It's a beautiful, old hous. But no ones in. Calling for help, they hear what sounds like a piano coming from what could be a ballroom and start to investigate. The music is discordant, dissonant and fragmented like they're hearing distorted echos of a half remembered concerto. They can hear the dynamics loud and clear, but the notes bounce around, sometimes making it to the ears, sometimes not (like listening to music through a wall). As we approach midnight, more music punctures its way through. Is there a ball happening? As the clock strikes midnight, the veil lifts and like the scene out of the shining they are transported across the veil. By now they're terrified,yet as the tango breaks they suddenly find themselves in the dance with the other guests. They cant seem to stop dancing. The veil is closing. They see it closing, but they cant stop dancing. BONG!!! its almost over. BONG! They cant stop. No more bongs. The house consumes them.

28:46 is a sinister transition in the most awesome way. Its like a horror game soundtrack.
Неожиданно очень хорошая запись. Все сделали по-своему (не как Гринденко с Кремером), но с полным пониманием, что и как играют.
Респект.
Только понимание отсутствует полностью! И дело не в первых исполнителях!
Точно сказано. Приятно ложится на ухо.
What this makes me feel:
1. Existential dread
2. Woah that’s epic
3. It really sucks that most of my friends will never listen to this
thanks for the video !
mindblowing
Genius....
Брависсимо!
Very different from Giddon Kremer's well-known interpretation and, once, very enjoyable too... Thanks for posting !
Impressive! But who performers?

Sounds a lot like Great Lent to me!🤣

Звуки мыслительного процесса.
Amazing what it expresses,..listening to it in relation to the, most likely,assasination of Alexei Navalny..madness..
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who noticed that quote 19:05
T C H A I K O V S K Y
at 14:25 i'm pretty sure that's the Shostakovich motiv DSCH...or am I wrong?
Yeah it is
It always sounds like Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto for me! 😅

Great story!
Confirms my deep respect for this awesome composer.
Just incredible! Thank you for such a performance and interpretation!
