Why are people on here complaining about it not being "relaxing." Is that all you listen to classical music for? It's suppose to invoke an emotional response. A job well done if you ask me.
This is so powerful... Once you listen to this thinking about all the innocent lives that died either in wars or bloody (I mean bloody) revolutions, people tortured for no reason because someone wanted more power, people that starved to death etc., this has to make you cry
I've also extracted the same two passages from a performance given by the predominantly youthful Boston University Symphony Orchestra which you may like to see. In this Boston performance, the conductor lets the bell at the very end resonate for several seconds. I haven't seen the score so I don't know what Shostakovich wanted but making the audience wait before they can start clapping seems odd to me. Great performance though! ... ua-cam.com/video/6OO-ym32-_k/v-deo.html
Uma das passagens orquestrais mais bem escritas da história da música!!! Verdadeiramente, fantástico!!! Shostakovich pode ser colocado ao lado de qualquer um dos grandes compositores. Bravo!!!!!
Actually. If u want this combination to be achieved. Listen to shostakovich's 7th and 8th symphony. This 11th symphony actually meant the 1905 revolution
… or was it the brutal suppression of the Hungarian Uprising/ Does that sound like Cossacks on horses or mechanized infantry? Maxim Shostakovich has asserted that the work is about 1956 as much as 1905…
@@mikser4044. Those are brass, pitched “church” bells. The bells are not taken from a church, but are made specifically for orchestras. Their sound is supposed to replicate those of real church bells. The ones here are turned upside down for ease of playing. Good question, fun instrument. Hope this helps.
There is nothing banal in this piece. On the surface maybe the opening of the last movement, but overall this is just true mastery in every aspect of composition.

Its literally not complaining bruh. Its a joke in sarcastic respond to those who say classical music is only "boring calming and relaxing"
Evoke but your point is dead on.
Shostakovich and relaxing are not often together.. most of his work is all but relaxing. But he is one of my favourite composer.
I was feeling like I have got back in time and witnessing the revolution in front of my eyes.....
Shostakovich is really a genius composer
As a metal head, this is the peak of music
this is some light music for studying
literally a couple of days ago I made a studying playlist to which I’ve added this! And then I come across this comment 👀
“Light music”?
i can feel the OPRESSION!
I feel obsession

Wow
The relevance and resonance of this in relation to the modern world situation is incredible
Brilliant scoring and played superbly
Incredible music. The last seven minutes is some of the most exciting music ever written.
One of most epic symphony endings
One of if not my favorite composer.
i love the texture of the bass clarinet in the tocsin finale
I initially thought it was an electric guitar
That was METAL
7:24 metal
Wagner group? I’m more of a Shostakovich guy
Tragedy and heroics in one amazing piece. This rendition really does justice to the moment and music.
2:43 best part

@@adam28xx none but only this current video has the bells in the end thats the sole reason this is superb of them all
Some comments reflect the misconception that classical music is "relaxing."
Then listen to Faure.
Best parts! And killer tempo! Thanks for posting.
3:00
And 3:35 are the ones you are looking for my fellows Ling Ling fans
From the twoset video about composers?
So relaxing
Very!
xD
The snare drum shows the soldiers shooting at innocent civilians
12/10 recommend to listen before sleep
Just heard the whole symphony live at the Uni of Herts. Fantastic.
Amazing that's all I can say... Damm...

Thanks for pointing the time XD
Brilliant performance.

Exactament! Shostakovich es un dels millors compositors de tots els temps. Per a mi és el més gran del segle XX.
Is that James bond on the timpani?
4:55 is so awesome!
A classical composer + depression + world war = 3:40
This piece actually has little to do with the world wars I believe. More so the 7th and especially the 8th.
I think this meant to be Russian Revolution That changed Russian empire to Soviet Union
Actually. If u want this combination to be achieved. Listen to shostakovich's 7th and 8th symphony. This 11th symphony actually meant the 1905 revolution
@@tonki_yt9122 not the attack part was depicting bloody sunday while the tocsin part is foreshadowing the Communist revolution
@@romanczura4146The 8th was representative of Shostakovich's own depression.

2:30 -> 2:40 ;
4:47 finale
Fantástico 😍
you're here for this 2:50
Sounds like a fun piece to play
it really does not get much better than this (!)
The conductor has gone mad, leading us back in time to witness the horror and shock of the bloody catastrophe that was the revolution.

What is the name of the instrument here 7:24
tubular bells
@@bigglesworthsgugenheimer4667 what about the one in the background?

@@Daphnis_ate_Chloethank you very much
Bravo.
6:25 and 6:36 kinda´ scares me for some reason
probably because some high pitched notes are spiraling up and down in a frenzy of chromatic scales
Lol, bro, in the final of symphony
the meaning of music is not in the attack
This is like the synopsis version of the full piece 😂🤣
only 22,000 views, there is something wrong with the world! A paucity of musical education methinks.
molto bello-caratteristico
6:24
Stirring if a bit banal at times and I can't help but think Shostakovich did this sort of thing better in earlier symphonies.
The whole thing about the banality of this symphony has become a tired cliche. The 11th is at least close if not on par with the 4th...
There is nothing banal in this piece. On the surface maybe the opening of the last movement, but overall this is just true mastery in every aspect of composition.
I think you find it “banal” because this piece, if not this style, has been used in the soundtrack of movies many times since it was written.
