Are we not gonna address the fact that Harry Potter and Comrade Mario managed to capture the essence and raw emotion of Shostakovich 5 with two melodicas?
@@cheetahman515Bro.. Its your statement that looks dumb tho. The first person definitely knew that they tried to imitate stalin but wrote mario instead just for satire. I dont know what to say other than r/woosh
Bernstein´s recording is one of the worst imo. Completely loses the the subtleties of the piece in favor of just speed and chaos. Even the performance of the orchestra itself is severely lacking with bad intonation and things. The 2014 recording with London symphony orchestra and I think it was Maxim Shostakovich conducting is way better imo.
In USSR version pokemon, a player who used Meowth's "Pay Day (ネコこばん coin for a cat, in Japanese)" will be executed or sent to Siberia, because it's capitalistic?
Replace Voldemort with Stalin and you've got essentially a heavily stylized version of what basically happened Ron could be Prokofiev, but he dies at the end
I'm 日本人 I was surprised that this video was uploaded on the day that I went to a concert where Gergiev played Shostakovich 5. Melodica sounds like an orchestra !!
I think the best part about these videos is just how much these 2 love doing it They both always seem to have a good time playing random songs in the blow piano
We played this as our college football band halftime entrance, though with consistent tempo. And, of course, very heavy on the low brass. It was really satisfying to play.
Shostakovich is actually a relatively popular 20th century composer and his 5th symphony is arguably his most popular and easily listenable composition...
Grant Darnell It's a forced finale with a mocking tone at times, the dissonance throughout the movement adds to the feeling of something not being right as if the orchestra and music is being forced, much like a forced march. Shostakovich did this as a sort of hidden protest against soviet oppression and censor and is lucky the Soviets didn't see that or he would've been disappeared.
Is there any actual evidence that he wrote it as a "hidden protest?" Like I get that it's a nice idea and there was that book that claimed all those things, but I'm pretty sure it's been thoroughly discredited since then. Also like that would be monumentally stupid, considering he had relatively recently pulled his 4th symphony (a far more avant-garde work) from its premier because of its modernist qualities.
@@trombonegamer14 Really. I think it's a great disservice to musicology that anti-Soviet takes of music are seemingly accepted without a whiff of evidence. While I understand that it supports the governing regime, these sorts of takes (when unsupported) completely undermine the field of study if it turns out to be nothing but propaganda.

This is awesome. I am so happy that I could read the Cyrillic title symphony No 5! I have been studying Russian and finally got to the point I can fluently read/write/speak it. Awesome video as always guys!!
1:58 that moment when you take the liberty to just skip half the movement and start playing the ending while the rest of the orchestra is still in the middle
Funny enough, the original music is composed under official pressures, so Dimitri intentionally made the music so that it became the irony the official accusation of his work being empty and anti revolution. Once you understand this and look at how these two dressed, you will found it much more hilarious.
LMAO GUYS, YOU WROTE AT THE END "мы любим наших покровителей" and it doesn't mean "we love our subscribers" actually the translation turned into "WE LOVE OUR PROTECTORS"
This Stalin looks just like evil Mario
Piotr Ponewczyński wario

Stalin is basically evil mario
All stalin looks like evil mario
WALUIGIII!
Hope some day we'll see the 7th 'Leningrad' Symphony

7th, first movement Invasion March climax
10th second movement
11th second movement fugue
or even his 8th string quartet
So much to choose from Dx
I think it won't be so interesting
Yes, in full length!
I think it would end with both of them passed out on the floor!
Shostakovich: *Makes fun of Stalin*
Stalin: This man is going to die.
Also Stalin: *Dies himeself*

How about just Soviet Air Piano?
This sounds like an intense Pokémon battle.
No its the russian version

- Hold my music sheets.

@@jasonrich4940 Yeah, but the oppresion meme was for Shostakovich's 11 tho xD
色んな国の言葉で溢れてる
exactly my thoughts
スターリン激似で草
この曲やるとは思わなかったｗ
Ironic bc shostakovich spent a good amount of his composing life taking the piss out of the ussr and barely avoiding death
Well, it did say "Shostakovich vs Stalin" at the beginning.
最後ボンボン言っちゃってるの
気持ちが溢れ出ちゃってる
感じが好き
部活でティンパニソロやらされた曲！！！！！
This sounds like if Soviet Russia was a MegaMan-style platformer and Stalin was the final boss.
I absolutely adore it.
The player is Shostakovich
技術はもちろんだけど、この方達の編曲、原曲の取捨選択が上手すぎる…
需要なフレーズはちゃんと入ってて最後までの流れが原曲聴いた時のような満足度😊
Great, now I have to go listen to Phantom Regiment 1996.

Comrade Mustache staring at the camera and tweaking his eyebrows definitely improved this quality rendition of solid Russian music.

この曲は
『強制された歓喜』でしたっけ。
圧政への抗いを表現したとか
大事なティンパニーはしっかり再現されてて
相変わらずの鬼鍵盤ハーモニカですが
死ぬほど楽しそうで大好きです❤
たしか、曲名は(革命)じゃなかったですかね?
@@あんこときなこ-l1v さん
はい、曲名は『革命』です。
テーマが "強制された歓喜" だったと思います。
旧ソビエト連邦の、共産主義への反抗心が込められてると見たことがあります。
ショスタコ本人はずっとソビエトに居て作曲していたわけで、音楽なんかちっとも分かんない共産党の幹部に意味不明なダメ出しをくらい続けてさんざん「自己批判」させられたりしてウンザリする中、見返すために死ぬ思いで作曲してようやく共産党にも認めさせることができたのがこの曲。表向きは「革命」とタイトルをつけ、ソビエト共産主義革命の勝利を高々と歌い上げた曲と言っていた。「強制された歓喜」なんて口が裂けても死ぬまで言ってない。
後の彼の研究者が「きっとそういう意味を込めていたんでしょう」と言ってるだけなんだけど、説得力ある話とされています。
はい、本人がそのように言ったとは
私も思えません。時代も国も。
難しいことはよくわかりませんが
音を聞いていると、単なる"革命"でくくるには
暗い奥行きがあると、私個人が感じました。
その研究者さんのおっしゃることが、しっくりきます。
@@りかしお そうですね。ベートーベンの運命と同じです。非公式ですが副題としては「正当な批判に対するある芸術家の創造的回答」というのがありますよ。
