Yeah I liked it, but it had its faults though. The march in the second movement could have warranted an epilepsy warning with all of the flashing images, but other than that, it was very creative and showed all of the instruments when they mattered!
OMG i feel like I am watching an Eisenstein's movie again, the vid used so much of Eisenstein's montage techniques. And fun fact that his two movies - October and Battleship Potemkin - did use this exactly Shostakovich symphony !
This belongs on a DVD, like Bychkov's performances of Brahms are. I would happily pay a high price for it. I can only dream... Hans Hadulla has done such a beautiful job with the cinematography and the style!
Such a powerful performance. The first movement is desolate, isolated, and cold. Bychkov takes the climax of the second movement a little fast but the treatment of it makes it even more terrifying, like a stampede or a massacre in musical form. The third movement, what I usually perceive as the closest thing this symphony has to a ‘breather’, is filled with passion. And the finale is wonderful, the choice of bells ringing out giving it a feel of carnage and terror while the orchestra descends into chaos before Bychkov expertly restores order and allows the final bell to ring out perfectly. My new favourite performance of this amazing symphony!
Shostakowitch carries the day. Bychkov is phenomenal as is the orchestra. The camera work, when it stuck to covering the orchestra and its soloists was excellent. The “experimental” episodes were more distracting than not. As this is a superlative rendition of #11, I will learn to love at least some of the cameras actions. I don’t recall ever seeing Semyon Bychkov in person, my loss. Enjoy him while you can.
I heard them play this in London's Royal Albert Hall in 2009 - an audience of 5,000. It was an absolutely amazing performance, and the audience's reaction reflected this.
I´ve already been to two performances of Bychkov conducting Shostakovich (5th and 11th symphony) and I have to absolutely agree with you. Every time I remembert the 11th I get goosebumps just from thinking about it. It was the strongest musical experience. He is going to perform Shostakovich´s 7th with Czech philharmonic this spring and I really can´t wait. He gets it just right for how I feel it.
Magnífica interpretación de esta gran sinfonía que es una de mis favoritas, felicito al director y a todos los músicos de esta orquesta. No he tenido la oportunidad de escuchar en vivo esta sinfonía pero cuando lo haga lo disfrutaré al máximo. Felicidades por compartir esta joya musical. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
es mucho mejor la versión de andris Nelson y la orquesta sinfónica de Boston. en esa versión hasta se cuente lo que pasó en vida el pueblo ruso en 1905 ( en especial las muertes en el segundo movimiento) saludos desde Tijuana
Strong interpretation as we can usually expect from Semyon and this Orchestra. However, truly dangerous camera effects for epileptics. There is no reason to force image when sound is the point.
@@samsonbald393 just calm down with change of takes, as the majority of concert movies. That's the point. No one said anything about the value to record it.
@@Giarola77 that's exactly my point. Most concert movies have no artistic value at all. I see no reason, why that should be the gold standard. Imo this video reflects the danger and force of the music very good.

Fantastic performance with proper bells at the end. So many performances use tubular bells and the impact is pathetic. TV direction was not to my taste, I'm afraid
Bychkov and his musicians are in top form here -- as they generally are in Shostakovich's large scale works. Here we get clarity while avoiding the slightly analytical approach of Gergiev and the Mariinsky but both are valid and both phenomenal. The audience here gives just enough time for the last bell to die away whereas applause is too quick for Gergiev and it clearly peeved him a bit. The drawback, for me, here is the clever-clever camera work, which adds nothing and is too flashy at a couple of points as to warrant a warning to epilepsy sufferers. I am one such. And, insultingly, the cinema genius doesn't even show us the bells when the title of the last movement is 'Tocsin'. He/she put ego over the music and really should do other work. On the other hand, the audio engineers seem to have measured the dynamic jumps in this masterpiece and set levels to allow the sounds do as the composer and musicians seek to achieve.
Amazing performance, and amazing cinematography (although in my opinion some parts are a little bit too much, almost like an experimental movies) nevertheless, Bravo!
@@dfdhgtrss212 tell me which movies are you talking about? Cos Lev Arnshtam, Faintsimmer, kosintsev, Chiaureli, Trauberg, Yutkevich and the other directors of the 28 movies Dimitri scored, none based it's technic in freak camera moves.
Pas du tout les mêmes tempos que Saraste, ici, la force implacable, inéluctable d'un sens dramatique de l'histoire est en marche. Bychkov est le meilleur architecte de cette partition !
Frankly, I think the video shooting aspect of SWR Classic performance was much better than this one. The important arrays of percussion were not filmed except the timpani⁉️

Love the gusto. I used to go to concerts but this was the last piece I bothered with. An audience member directly in front of me would fly his arms around at all the exciting bits thus ruining my concentration on the music. So I thought why should I spend 45 mins on the Piccadilly line each way when I get better enjoyment at home from a CD and now in 2020 youtube.
Sooooo fu%& the woodwinds?? LOL. Just kidding. I truly love this piece but the brass get all the best parts. Meanwhile, the woodwinds get the most difficult ones haha.
Note to the video director: this should be about the musical composition and its performance and not you. Your self-indulgent part is a distraction to a great performance, which as filmed here, is best enjoyed with eyes closed.
The editing is WAY overdone, especially with the 2nd movement. I know what they are trying to do, but such editing, for me, takes away from the music. The music doesn't need any help. I feel, in this particular, case, the editor should have taken it easy with the cuts and allowed the music to speak for itself. I came to listen to the music -- not to have my eyes scourged.
Aquí, el genio de Salzburgo se burla de los malos compositores, la fuga está mal escrita, el sujeto es muy corto, la respuesta viene muy rápido, el contrasujeto es horrible.... y así con todo....
ужасная интерпрентация симфонии у бычкова, слишком много у него вольностей и эмоций . дирижер должен исполнять то что написано в партитуре а не то что у него в фантазии
Fantastic performance by a truly great Shostakovich conductor. But this has to be the most annoying videography of an orchestra I have ever seen. Utterly idiotic and irritating effects intended to reflect the actions of the music which serve only to distract from the music itself.
Whoever did the cinematography deserves a raise
Yeah I liked it, but it had its faults though. The march in the second movement could have warranted an epilepsy warning with all of the flashing images, but other than that, it was very creative and showed all of the instruments when they mattered!
How do you know they were badly paid?
@@pipster1891 what? Nobody said they were badly paid?
@@pprudencio1966 I have to agree.
This performance is bursting with cinematographic creativity. Amazing

@@dangtuandung2423 Could you please explain how those two films released before 1930 could use the symphony written in `57?
Creattivity? It is many decades behind. Looks like early popmusic televison in the sixties.

No matter how many times I listen to this symphony, I always end up with a profound sense of wonder and a deep sensory catharsis...
We're glad to hear that you enjoy this symphony 😊
The editing and camera shots gave me absolute goosebumps man
So true. Sometimes the video can be a real distraction. Here it plays its proper supportive role to the performance.

59:01 Angry ending
I don't know much about music, but I hear the fire
Feeling it is understanding it.
This is amazing! The perfect rendition of the finale, I can't see how anything can top this!
27:37 ここから完全にスタンリー・キューブリックの映画みたいなカメラワーク
Reminds me of 1920s silent movies, like Metropolis.
What is really GOOD in this video is the camera man's work.
@agaphonus i'm about the video itself, while you are about its sharing
27:59 PERFECT TEMPOOOO
I agree, many orchestras play way too slow there
Что смыслы и чувства обуревали Шестаковича ,что он писал такую глубиннуюмузыку которая траматична по своему звучанию
I heard them play this in London's Royal Albert Hall in 2009 - an audience of 5,000. It was an absolutely amazing performance, and the audience's reaction reflected this.
Unfortunately it was not the WDR Symphony Orchestra that played this Symphony with Bychkov in the Royal Albert Hall in 2009… 🤷🏻♀️😌
Thats true, it was not the WDR Symphony Orchestra but for sure, to experience this symphony live in a concert hall is a great experience.
銃撃場面でこんなにテンポ上げる指揮者初めてだ！すごい解釈！
マリス・ヤンソンスもここでスコアにないテンポアップをしたけど、この方はそれ以上。好きだわ。
Great symphony, beautiful performance ❤
Remek! Nagyszerű előadás, kitűnő összjátékkal és irányítással! Bravo!
Thank you!
We're happy that you like it 🤗
This is a great conductor
Semyon Bychkov is one of the greatest conductors of our time!!
This is my most favorite music of schostacovich.Masterpiece!!
What is your favorite ?
I LOVE everything about this recording
Thank you! 🥰
Extraordinary performance. I want to clap after that ending. Bychkov really feels Shostakovich

A superb sound upload. The balance is very good. Many thanks for this.

Wonderful !
Excellent performance, nice video!
Jeez, amazing cinematography!
Phenomenal performance annd camera work! Q.: Where are the bells at the conclusion? Their sound is supposed to last after the final orchestra cutoff!
Thank you again WDR!!
Hi, RSci!
You are welcome!!

Wow!
the performance is perfect, but the visual effect is just killing me, literally. I almost had a seizure when it was flashing.
25:30 onwards is incredible
Was the cameraman drunk? 🙂
Diese dirigentenlastigen Videos gehen mir ganz schön auf die Nerven. Die Musiker spielen, nicht der Dirigent.
Spectacular performance ! (Unfortunately, the videography isn't worth squat.)
Best classical music composer of the 20th century despite the totalitarian stalinist regime he was living in.
@agaphonusthe only good thing to come out of that godawful regime
Keep your filthy politics out of music.
Great performance, but the final bell stroke decays too quickly. It should linger.
Why dont I hear any coughs? Is it because of the edit or people were more civilized back then?

The ending is incredibly powerful. This is how authoritarian regimes collapse.
It's so sad if you consider how russian leaders now try to whitewash the tsars...
