I played a steady diet of Shostokovich all thru college and love his music to this day. Someone hearing just this piece would never know it came from someone who lived under the Communist boot all his life and had to afraid of the very REAL possibility that Stalin would somehow decide that any particular piece was "Burgeois" and therefore an enemy of the people of Mother Russia. Next stop for the composer: the firing squad wall or maybe just Siberia. The simplicity, yet intricacy of his melodies is stunning. He ranks up with the best of all composers, and I don't say that lightly!
when you wrote the comment, ChatGPT didn't exist, but, I had to ask ChatGPT; hard to find accurate info on Google, I kept reading things about a jazz suite and i couldn't believe it..
I have an LP by Kostelanetz of THE LIGHT MUSIC OF SHOSTAKOVITCH with much of this music. Used to play the music all the time really loud in our ground floor apartment because there was just a storage room underneath and the ceiling was quite high so the upstairs folks couldn't get mad. So I associate this music with that rather carefree time in our lives. Kosty used a full orchestra in his version.
I bet this has got a few more hits since the Lincoln commercial. So 18 - 22 is my favorite part. And how can you 4 people not like this. I love ELP, Yes, Alan Parsons. I also love Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Alice Cooper. I also love this music.
Thank you for the upload.. While listening to the Finale, a phrase sounded familiar.. Does anyone else hear part of the phrasing from "Octopus's Garden" by the Beatles in it?
Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately I don't have the sheet music of this suite also I don't know where to get the sheet music in pdf format, so I don't think that will be possible. Sorry! :(
That's the common misconception. It was mistakingly known as "Jazz Suite No. 2" due to an editorial mistake. The real "Jazz Suite No. 2" consists only of three movements and has nothing to do with this suite.
Surprising, because Shostakovitch was part of the Soviet Party. He could of been inspired by Western European composers at the time, which in turn were inspired by American composers.

Okay, it actually took me awhile to find Shostakovich's "Waltz No. 2" in its full context. Thank you so much for this upload.

So uniquely original far beyond the established protocol of classic music.
Finally found the real thing! Thanks for uploading!!
A joy to hear it played by a Ukranian Orchestra at a time of such strife.

Thank you for the upload.. While listening to the Finale, a phrase sounded familiar.. Does anyone else hear part of the phrasing from "Octopus's Garden" by the Beatles in it?

Why No. 1? Is there No. 2?
actually no. A guy who worked on Chostakovitch's history once said that there was a n°2 but I could never find it...
Symphony DSCH, can you do this again but with the music sheet?
Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately I don't have the sheet music of this suite also I don't know where to get the sheet music in pdf format, so I don't think that will be possible. Sorry! :(
@@symphonydsch8401Oki. No problem
@@symphonydsch8401 I have the complete score, but still copyrighted. I don't know if it's possible to make the video with the sheet music
@@lenmnj May I ask if you can at least send the sheet music to me? Also, where did you find the sheet music and who published it?
Isn’t this Suite No.2?
That's the common misconception. It was mistakingly known as "Jazz Suite No. 2" due to an editorial mistake. The real "Jazz Suite No. 2" consists only of three movements and has nothing to do with this suite.
Is this the nacional ukrainian anthem?
what
Is the dance 1 Spanish dance?
dance 2 is limpid stream
Any FF7 fans hear a little Golden Saucer in Dance no. 2?
Was this not the Jazz suite #2?
yes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite_for_Jazz_Orchestra_No._2_(Shostakovich)
Nope, jazz suite no 2 is a lost 3 movement work, this is a different piece entirely
@@bobmcbob8044 Read what the real "expert" says and forget it right after. Read what is in the header of the partiture.
@@frankkleij9149 I'm confused. Both this video and the wikipedia article say they are different pices.
Is it just me or does it sound American?
Surprising, because Shostakovitch was part of the Soviet Party. He could of been inspired by Western European composers at the time, which in turn were inspired by American composers.
Sounds distinctly Russian to me
