The bassoon's solo is majestic and breath-taking. It made me hang on the edge of my seat. His sound is so beautiful and pure, I truly never heard anything like it. I'm absolutely amazed. Complimenti to Augusto, the new Principal Bassoon!!!🎶
The Ninth Symphony expected of Dmitri Shostakovich was very different from the eighth Symphony he delivered. His previous two symphonies were grand affairs of over an hour in length, and each required a massive orchestra. These symphonies were also thematically tied to the ongoing war: His Seventh Symphony appeared to chronicle the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, while his Eighth portrayed the turning of the war as the Russians drove the Nazis back into Germany. It was subsequently expected by all that, for his Ninth Symphony, Shostakovich would deliver a grand apotheosis to Stalin that celebrated the end of the war, and ultimately completed his epic « war trilogy » of symphonies. In spite of these expectations and, in fact, likely because of them Shostakovich instead delivered a short, small-scale neoclassical work that had more in common with Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony than with the Ninth Symphonies of Beethoven or Mahler. This symphony also has a number of solos, there are big solos for all the woodwind instruments, the trumpet, the trombones, and the violin. These solos should be free, expressive, and light. This is especially true of the bassoon, which is heard throughout the entire fourth movement and fifth movement. The « Largo » is the necessary turning point in the development, the solitary peak from which there opens before us that wide perspective so necessary for understanding the inner meaning of the whole work. It is a return to the past which is impossible to forget, even amidst the joys of peaceful life. The true meaning of the bassoon solo, however, will likely never be known Shostakovich left no written program, and the accuracy of remarks made in his memoirs remains questionable. *Lucien*
A common understanding of the reason why it's humorous is because Shostakovich really hated Stalin and wanted to mock him. In fact, this symphony was banned in performance until after Stalin's death, and the government almost seized commisioning anything from Shostakovich.
As much as I love program music (and therefore Shostakovitch), I really don't know what is represented in this symphony, just that it is so captivating, original, and engaging. I love it so much.
Ich finde die 9. Sinfonie von Schostakowitsch ein Meisterwerk. Die Holzbläser sind da ganz besonders hervorzuheben. Im Kopfsatz, in ganz klassischer Sonatensatzform , spielen die Holzbläser eine zentrale Rolle der Exposition. Sie stellen das Hauptthema vor, das sich durch das gesamte Werk zieht. Das Thema ist so schön lyrisch und melancholisch, die Holzbläser spielen mit großer Kraft. Insgesamt finde ich die 9. Sinfonie ein unverzichtbares Klangbild. Es ist so eine emotionale Wirkung und die Sinfonie ist ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Bravo!
Quelle merveilleuse version de la 9. La prise de son rend justice à l'ensemble des instruments et la direction d'orchestre est d'une précision et d'une sensibilité réellement émouvantes. Merci à vous tous pour ce moment qui relève de la grâce. On imagine Mozart, de son ciel, écoutant la neuvième de Shostakovich, et pleurant dans les bras de son épouse adorée.
I love this! Clear presentation of personal tragedy/sadness/agony and transforms them into a bright, but mild, hope for the future. And appreciations of the past experiences, whether thery are good or not. Still fearful about the upcoming future, knows that the agonies will appear and repeat again. But still we have hopes and things keep changing. And Shostakovich tells all this story from his personal point of view, unlike his other gigantic symphonies. Beethoven would have smiled a lot listening to this 9th piece.

Do you know the time stamp
Compare the bassoon duet at the beginning of Carl Nielsen's fifth symphony.
Great performance all round. One of the most under appreciated symphonies. Light and dark with a touch of melancholy.
bravo....what an orchestra....excellent clarinet in Presto...bassoon.....every single musician....toll toll toll einfach!
Thank you very much!
The bassoon solo is absolutely mesmerizing 👏👏👏 Bravo!!!!
It's Augusto Velio Palumbo 🤗

Thank you! Fine performance, audio and visuals. More fun than my CD!
You are welcome! 🤗
Oh yeah❤

Good performance. Such a shame that this symphony was censored.
Yes, definitely not what Stalin had expected ...
You can see why Stalin wasn't altogher pleased with this. In other words, it's great.
Добрый всем вечер ❤
WDR’ın yaylıları ne zaman dinlesem aynı hırçınlıkta 🥰

Ne emek, nefesinizi kuvvet.
That's how he survived the 9th symphony

Shostakovich 4, 5, 8, 9,10, 13, 14,15 !!!

Alle reden nur über Solofagott aber keiner redet über Lewin (klarinette) das Affenzahn Tempo im Presto und halt klarer als man es je gehört hat
💕
The subtlety of this magnificent symphony is ruined by being played too fast.
