From 24min onwards , the playing and sound is astounding......but the sound of the tympani is just awesome..................
25:33
Now I know what to listen to at 2 am while doing homework...heavy metal classical music!
Funny that you say that.
I've always told ppl that Heavy Metal and Death Metal were invented by SHostakovich!
(You can find the DIRECT LINE of it. I'm not just making a joke.)
I love both
I have a blog to heavy metal
and a blog for musica erudita (classical)
@@dumpygoodness4086what’s the direct line?
Kondrashin is the best conductor of Shostakovic ever
Ayanokouji listening to this chapter 1
This to me this is by FAR the best interpretation of this masterpiece of relentless emotion. The performance by the orchestra is not flawless, but boy-oh-boy you can forgive them for the unbeatable passion that they put into this performance. Many other performances are technically superior, but (with the exception of the Mravinsky interpretation) all other performances disappoint. This is the one to go for.
Perfection is misunderstood. This performance IS perfect - it captures the essence of the music perfectly. Had it focused on technical proficiency, it would have failed to be perfect, and failed to convey the brutality and senselessness of bloody Sunday.
Berglund is pretty good too
I think Berglund beats this interpretation in the ruthlessness aspect.
15:26 it’s firstly brooding.. and then it really takes off.!
Shostakovich at his brilliant, genius zenith..!!!
Thank you for , uploading this treasured performance.. greetings from England..
25:43 love the mallet choice. Now the timpani really feels like gunshots, many other recordings' sound of the timpani is far too tame
Timpani at 24:20 is amazing
Ne kadar derin bir hüzün. Insan ruhunun en gizli en uzak yerlerinden çıkarılıp getirilmiş gibi. Ve bu zor görevi ancak şosta gibi bir deha yapabilir.
23:00 - 27:00 Parte terrorifca favorita
I was living in Houston, Texas, when Leopold Stokowski introduced the DSCH eleventh to audiences in the United States for the first time on 7 April 1958. Capitol Records recorded the work a week later. For many years, before the advent of compact discs and, later, SACD the Capitol LP was considered as one of the sonic blockbusters in the repertoire.
Tú no sabes si Dmitri estaba pensando en la represión que sufrieron los estudiantes, obreros e intelectuales en la San Petersburgo de 1905 o si lo hacía en la represión que sufrieron los estudiantes, obreros e intelectuales de la Hungría de 1956.
Dmitri fue un genio.
What an amazing symphony and a remarkable performance. I discovered it in iran at the age of ten on a cassette with the same orchestra and conductor and was mesmorized by its haunting beauty and intense passion throughout.
Shostakovich such a great composer
Mozart makes you happy, Beethoven makes you cry, and Shostakovich makes you curl up in a ball and shit your pants.
Minél többször hallgatom Sosztakovics bármelyik szimfóniáját, annál jobban megszeretem. Köszönöm - azt is, hogy nincs belezavaró reklám.
Думаю лучшее путешествие в Россию 1905 года это симфония Шостаковича которую вы слушаете!
Когда-то я был так голоден до культуры, что вгрызался в запись Шостакович и у него был самый восхитительный вкус, который только можно себе представить! !
Kiyotaka ayanokouji favorite song
Awesome recording. The violence towards the end of the second movement is something else.
At 24:40, the ascending low brass line makes me think of some beast rising from the water, like Godzilla, like Satan breaking through the surface, a leviathan made of a line of cavalry. It's an evocative sound.
Maybe he meant it to be the cavalry coming out and lining up, preparing for the assault.
+Phillip Holmes it's the sound of sheer terror
yes... Kondrashin gets Shostakovich... and the Mystery of Reality... both Still and Active...
Una de las 3 mejores sinfonías programáticas de toda la historia. Que fácil y doloroso imaginar lo que sucedió aquel 9 de enero a través de esta gran obra. Impresiona escucharla.
Estoy de acuerdo en que los monos gritadores juegan como si tuvieran rabia.
An amazing piece about a dark past.
From 25.00 to 26.45 is the most brutal sound I have ever heard come from an orchestra...............
Check out Prokofiev symphony no 3
@@pavlelazarevic3270 Thanks................
From 23:00 it is extremely masterpiece !!!
It is masterpice right fr the start
Still my Favorite Russian symphony of all time. And top 3 Worldwide and throughout history
Just wondering what your other favorites are?

Please answer ! Hh
This Symphony is wonderful.
Weak is the vision of the world (of music and everything else) that makes possible to consider it "weak". Regrettably it's widespread.
When the Carl Sagan series,"Cosmos" was shown in 1980, an excerpt from this was played and is on the "Cosmos" record. I've always wanted to get it in the context of the whole symphony. Thanks for posting it!!
This is my favourite recording andIMO the Best, I love the pace the tension and terror , fantastic.Amazing and such a performance in what seems not be be a live concert .
classroom of the elite?
I love this symphony. This was on a PC my sister gave me. I didn't know until recently that Symphony 11 is a bit overshadowed by some of Shostakovich's other symphones.
Yes especially by fifth and tenth
@@pavlelazarevic3270 Can't go wrong with most Shostakovich. I'm partial in addition to the Eighth and the almost neoclassical Fifteenth.
this symphony clearly is not in the same league as his 5th, 10th or even 15th; that damn drumming!
Carl Sagan in the original "Cosmos", used this to denote immensity of time and distance. "The Great War" used it to depict the feelings of soldiers contemplating death before a great battle. It can be used for a lot of things.
I had this particular recording on an (at the time) state-of-the-art vinyl recording (Melodiya) in the mid-70s. I have heard many other, esp. American, but this is still my favourite. The tension is palpable, the detail is sinister, the cor anglais solo is exquisite and the concluding tocsin bell is sheer fear. Thoroughly Russian, it reminds me of DS, who surely would have heard it. Never bettered, thank you so much for posting. How clear this remastering is.
Thanks... you seem to be a real Shostakovich expert. It's almost rather spooky now to think the Leningrad/St Petersburg concert hall walls were exactly the same that usually heard D S symphonies for the first time - and often under "Mra".
Listening to this on stereo is amazing .
Timpanis in one ear and snares in the other.
This the most emotionally arresting version describing the The Bloody Sunday of 1905.
I think you're right. Mravinsky frequently performed not according to the score. An example is the last movement of the 5th symphony. The 1954 studio recording is performed as the score indicates allegro non tropo. But starting with the 1966 concert, and again in 1973 and 1983, he starts the 4th movement as a presto. I can see why Shostakovich would say that Mra did not understand him. But - wow - his performances sure sounded good! His were the most exciting, except maybe for Toscanini.
Belíssimo concerto. Apoteótico.
The interesting thing is that while I discovered this work the Iranian revolution was taking place with the crowds confronting the shah's oppressive forces in their struggle for freedom and being targeted by them, it was as though what the symphony is depicting was being played out before my very eyes.
How symbolic!
"it's about the people, who have stopped believing because the cup of evil had run over." - Dmitri Shostakovich
For years after this work first appeared, it was dismissed by many critics, but in my not so humble opinion it is the best work Shostakovich wrote for orchestra, a Mussorgskyan drama with Mahlerian scale and structure. The remarkable third movement is the explicit, impassioned emotional centerpiece of his entire symphonic output - almost surely in honor not only of the victims of the 1905 rebellion and the uprising in Budapest in 1956, but all of Shostakovich's friends and colleagues who lost their lives to the Bolsheviks, to Stalin's brutality, to the Nazi invasion - at last, an outlet for all his grief and rage over the lives destroyed and ended by the Glorious People's Revolution and Victory of the Proletariat. And that coda - will freedom ring, or will it just start the entire cycle of oppression over again? It's about the Palace Square, 1905. And the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. And what you witnessed as a child. And Tiananmen Square, 1989.
Comparing the Shah with today's Iran is like comparing Trump and Biden. I don't like either of them. But one of them has a brain and the other is an old tyrant.
The opening music is also used in Carl Sagan's "Cosmos".
23:12 shit hits the fan
Bullets fly, crowds run every which way, martial law spreads its lethal wings to swallow up all the freedom and liberty there is in this world into its bottomless gullet.
23:13 I love
absolute masterpiece. Inspiration for lots of soundtracks, including Alien (1979)
This fitted the BBC's The Great War superbly
AMAZING!!!!!
Expert? Not really. I just know what I like. But I am a fanatic about finding the "best" performance, probably a mental health issue. :-)
I do like the moody Shost. symphonies, especially the 8th and 10th, with Mravinsky and Kondrashin.
I also like Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Chopin and conductors Toscanini, Szell, Ormandy, and others.
My favorite pianist by far is Richter, as close to perfect as is possible in this world.
I agree about the concert hall, especially with Shost. sitting there!
An excellent performance. I would love to hear Dudamel and his talented Venezuelan muisicians perform the eleventh, particularly after their excellent renditions of the 10th and 12th.
jslasher1 we've actually done it, look for the youth orchestra of caracas perfomance with Maestro Carreño or Teresa Carreño's version with Maestro Lara
They won't.
These're unacceptable pieces to play for El Sistema. In Venezuela people woudln't see the zarist torture. The people would see the chavist torture and political murders.
@@MigeruSama1991 Rubbish! You'd make an inept politician.
Simply SUPERB.
Belíssimo! Wonderfull!
So you want to experience the darkness, horror, and bloodshed that was the 1905 Russian revolution? You've come to the right place.

Great !!!!
bello
Totally OK with pinkled42. I must add Jarvi and Bernstein. great version ! Thank you !
Barshai and Gergiev are disasters.
To loboris:Mravinsky, Rozhdensvetsky (sic), Kondrachine.
such an awesome performance, just wish the audio quality was better.
amazing!!!! ending part of english corn solo a Little sloppy but over all amazing!!! without a doubt an amazing and very dificult solo for the english horn.
bravo!
This is a terrific version.
I love Shostakovitch's glasses.
gilmour y Waters de Pink Floyd sin duda se tenían bien oida esta sinfonía.

At 48:28 in you hear the Requiem.
25:26 THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!
Great symphonie. It is simple amazing.
I only remember beginning and ending of 2nd movement
I often listen to this at star parties. It's first movement just seems to evoke an emotion of stillness and almost cosmic wonder. Does anyone know if this recording is in the public domain? I would love to use it in a film I'm working on.

+InCameraFX A 1962 film called "The Condemned of Altona" (from the play of the same name by Sartre) used the third movement of this symphony to great dramatic effect. The film starred Sophia Loren, Maximillian Schell, and Frederic March, and was directed by Vittorio de Sica; yet despite all that talent, it seems to have virtually disappeared.
That's interesting you say that. I want to use a small part for a documentary. Did you have any luck with the music for your film?
No, not yet. Still researching. The composition itself is PD, but it's a matter of finding a recording of it that isn't owned by particular Orchestra.
I've checked...it's still in copyright and owned by Linn Records. I can't afford to use it now. Bloody annoying.
Here's the trailer I've used parts in: vimeo.com/139553665
0:00 is a good place to start.
Fantastic tympani
ops, I now notice you already answered loboris1995 but not directly under his question so he may have missed it. Not exactly a "wild" guess I presume considering Mra's career and position - although Shostakovich usually - I have heard - just gave him instructions "how" but not "why" - and in his memoirs has doubts if Mra really understood him... so maybe we should not taken even his performances as the definite word. What do you think?
To loboris1995: Mra probably means Mravinsky. :-) Just a guess, but who else could it be?
It'll be the strange feeling draw in the chaos and mysterious zone!
Hey Kozima, I'm listening to this while reading Natsume Soseki's The Miner.
i'm here to hear this symphony from the classroom of elite volume 1 :)
Trying to see straight ahead unobstructed, but overlaid across my vision like a crude gauze is a polyester-clad Carl Sagan flying in his Cosmos ship. (not saying this is a bad thing).

Mravinsky
Listen to Gergiev's, it's on UA-cam.
The Marinsky version is not as effective as this one. Music tells the story better than the written word. All the pain and suffering is here.
Where word be end, There to start and go to finale only sound of music).
totally agree. This version is incredible
Am I the only one who is disappointed because of the last bell?
That last tocsin is supposed to be the only thing still resonating at the very end. But here Kondrashin (or the sound engineers) decided to cut it off prematurely
dãããããããã
What a cruel composer!
You never listened to Penderecki
myra ?
@pinkled42 your welcome,me neither I don't understand the anime on classical music,my parents one time thought that I was watching hentai while I was listening to ravel ^^Anyway,I just want to ask,who is "mra"?
This symphony is so weaker than 8 or 10.
Weak how? It's different. Different does not equal weak. His development of the themes are expert. His instrumentation and scoring are unique. This isn't a "war" symphony either. It's a humanistic piece, reflecting on the consequences of those days.
Potatodick41,
You need to study history, the composer and actually know something about music, before you open your mouth and show yourself a complete idiot. Learn:
Perhaps the most significant effect of Bloody Sunday was the drastic change in attitude of the Russian peasants and workers. Previously the tsar had been the champion of the people. In dire situations, the masses would appeal to the tsar, traditionally through a petition, and the tsar would respond to his people promising to set things right. The lower classes placed their faith in the tsar. Any problems that the lower classes faced were associated with the boyars of Russia; however, after Bloody Sunday the tsar was no longer distinguished from the bureaucrats and was held personally responsible for the tragedy that occurred.[29] The social contract between the tsar and the people was broken, which delegitimized the position of the tsar and his divine right to rule. Although Bloody Sunday was not initiated as a revolutionary or rebellious movement, the repercussions of the government’s reaction laid the foundations for revolution by bringing into question autocracy and the legitimacy of the tsar.
In popular culture[edit]
Dmitri Shostakovich's 11th Symphony, subtitled The Year 1905, is a programmatic workcentered around Bloody Sunday. The second movement, entitled "The Ninth of January", is a forceful depiction of the massacre.[30] The sixth of Shostakovich's Ten Poems on Texts by Revolutionary Poets is also called "The Ninth of January".[30] Shostakovich's father and uncle were both present at the march that day, a year before the composer's birth.[31]

This is why I love UA-cam. It's not about cat videos and peop;e analying trailers to the latest Marvel superhero film. It's about people who with real knowledge being unafraid to use it. I just discovered Shostakovich Nr.11 in typical internet fashion, beginning with 1958 British Pathe newsreel footage of Leopold Stokowski in Moscow conducting the last 40 seconds of this work. Ten mouse clicks later with a side trip to Wikipedia, I'm reading your comments - no, thank YOU!
Phillip Holmes Very good. The world is full of idiots and ignorants.
Spudboy41 Weak? No, strong, beautiful enough to have attached me to it ardently since I bought this recording on vinyl 38 ago years. This is the best recording ever made of this symphony. Go to 22:30 and hear the lead in to the terrifying next mvt. then call it weak if you will.
