I really appreciate the cameraman for keeping the camera on the cellist for pretty much the entire 2nd movement, it made stealing fingerings a lot easier lol
@@pokerface4848 I know this info is 2 months late haha, but clapping after a piece has ended is perfectly acceptable and even expected. The problem is when people clap when the piece hasn't finished yet. Like clapping between movements. This piece has 5 movements by the way, so people clapped after it ended ^^ Hope it helped!!
Their tempo seemed little bit slow than most performances but sound was clearer than all of them and catch emotions better. Surely this old dudes know their stuff.

I love string quartets! The most incredible and noble of all forms of music to me! And Beethoven, Bela Bartok and Shostakovich, rule in this genre. Lots of others great quartets too, pure, absolute music!
I came on here simply for an orchestra assignment, but I'm absolutely amazed. They play with such precision and emotion. They seem to communicate with each other throughout the song, giving each person the spotlight. I noticed that when a page needs to be turned, there's generally one person playing the melody while the other flips, and they switch between that role. This is such an amazing video! 😍😍😍
I hadn't heard this one before and just realize it includes the melody of his cello concerto, how amazing! Also loved the roles he gave each instrument and not only the violins
You know, that this piece was dedicated as a memorial to the victims of the 1945 Dresden fire bombing, right? I guess your homework is comparably important for you.
I love the flags in the background that say peace and hope as the sound of boxcars full of wailing people and midnight banging on your door punctuate periods of dreary existence.
cellogirl11RW I’ve done this piece, the cello part is spectacular! Especially the opening line, and the cello solo partway through the first movement. I’m sure you will be able to play this piece one day, it is quite a famous quartet, and as far as I know it is popular amongst youth quartet groups due to the lower technical skill requirement, but the deep understanding of the music required to truly make this piece sound beautiful. In the meantime, keep practicing, and I hope you and your family are doing ok in these turbulent times!
I played it in my college orchestra, leme tell you the second movement is sweaty XDDD so fun to play tho so intense in some parts and so soft in others and emotional
This is the best of mid and late 20th Century music, drama and harmony majestically expressed at the same time. It expresses all that the classics did not even imagine would need to be musically told. Love live Russia!
This piece was written as a suicide letter during communist Russia. Shostakovich wanted a piece to be remembered by. This is essentially written to demonstrate his fear of the government and how he could have been taken in the middle of the night. Beautifully chaotic piece.
This quartet built upon the letters of the composer's name (DSCH) is both very strict in the motive derivatives and presnts a subjective tone hich makes it a unique tonal masterpiece. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In this work, as in the 10th symphony, the theme of Stalin is clearly present, especially in the second movement. Just like the 10th symphony, this is undoubtedly an autobiographical work.
I read the book the siege of Leningrad, so I had to check out Mr. Shostakovich. I’m used to bands like the Stones, Hole, Alice In Chains, but after nuff beers, classical music has its points. Please read “The Siege of Leningrad “, it’s, uh, what you need to read!
FYI, here is a video of Shostakovich's "Leningrad" Symphony, which was premiered during the siege itself on August 9, 1942: ruclips.net/video/kwqZRhPXElQ/видео.html The Russian military officer in command of defense forces released any soldier who could play an orchestral instrument reasonably well long enough for the performance, which was transmitted by loudspeakers around the perimeter of the city, both to hearten the Russian people and to make the point to the Germans that surrender was not at hand. During the concert, empty chairs were placed in the orchestra to represent musicians who had perished before the performance could be given.
You're kind of removed from reality, aren't you? "Fascism" doesn't exist. The victims today are caused by the forced invasion of Europe by hostile foreigners, and total silence by the mainstream media when it results in racial violence against Europeans on a daily basis; the forced "diversity" imposed on the USA and Canada, which yields unsurprisingly similar results; the ongoing, violent genocide of white South Africans that conveniently goes ignored by the aforementioned propagandists. But yeah, let's ignore reality, and tell ourselves that "fascism" causes so many victims these days.

Darion Buck check out the rite of spring by stravinsky You may also be interested in tomita isao's version of the planets, and max richter's version of the four seasons \m/
Bartok was a big influence on Robert Fripp of King Crimson. Anyone who likes prog should try his String Quartets 2 through 6, the Out of Doors piano suite, Concerto for Orchestra and all 3 of his piano concertos. Stravinsky's Firebird, Petrushka, and Rite of Spring are also integral as someone already mentioned.
This song makes me want to run through a haunted castle in a blood soaked nightgown while a vampire chases me through the stone corridors and stairways.

You just don't clap after this. How does one clap after this. How do you even function after this bruh
I have no reaction after listening to this magnum opus. Get me speechless all the time.
This, and Mahler 2. And Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.
And the Jupiter Symphony, which was Mozart's last.
I thought in most classical recitals clapping is not allowed?

I hadn't heard this one before and just realize it includes the melody of his cello concerto, how amazing! Also loved the roles he gave each instrument and not only the violins
His signature motif (DSCH), used in a number of his works. He also quotes himself eg. Symphony no. 5
Yeah he does a lot of self-referencing ... interesting to hear the themes in other contexts
I keep listening to it and I can't get enough. Such a good performance.

What a spirited performance. Full of humanity. I love this work. Thank you!
really great playing of Shostakovitch 8 qt.---brilliant work--brilliant playing!
Uno de los mejores cuartetos de cuerda de Shostakovich con el famoso cuarteto Emerson. Un gran deleite para los amantes de música de cámara.
Wonderful performance by a superb quartet; I'm a great fan of Shostakovich. Thank for posting.
Superior version, I like how they patiently take their time with it. I'd also recommend the St Petersburg String Quartet
What a superb performance !!!
Thank you for sharing~~🌼💖🎻
6:18 DAMNNNN
POWERFULL
Interesting interpretation, in my opinion I like when the second largo is a bit slower and the allegretto has more staccato on the shostakovich motif.
Hahaha Sure Aram 😀😀
Jesus Christ imagining having a khachaturian username and commenting on this
Love the transition from largo to allegro molto.

'for the victims of fascism and war'

I'm strongly doubting if the Allegro molto is speeded up, or maybe i'm just going crazy. Or, maybe they just move in a very unnatural way.
Nah it's not. You should listem to Janine Jensen playing it though!
Not at all! It can be played even faster.
Original tempo (marked in notes) is MINIM = 120! They play 119-121.

This is the most violent piece I've ever heard. DS must have been angry when doing this one.

To me, this song is when Macbeth goes to the Weird Sisters
1:40 and on sounds like an indian raga somewhat
