As an avid Tetris player and a cellist, this is so cool.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thanks! We're happy that you enjoy it 😄

Another avid Tetris player who also plays cello? Magnificent, the word of both is spreading!

[@russiandollie]

I just found out that tetris is actually based on this very old Russian song. And this orchestra is just marvelous 🔥

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you!😊 Glad you like it!

@@davezedman But that's not a song.
A song is characterised by being performed by vocalists: It is supposed to be sung.
This piece is instrumental.

Voll schön! Ich liebe dieses Lied. Schon damals beim Tetris spielen wurde es nie langweilig. Außer wenn man verloren hat....düdüdüüüüh😆

The Russian song "Кorobeiniki" (Or "Korobushka") dates back to about 1861, These are the times of the Russian Empire. Tetris was created in 1984 in the USSR. So there is no surprise for the Russians, we knew this song before the game. It is not so surprising to us that a Russian person used a Russian song for a Russian game 😄
Thank you, I liked your performance. Usually on the Internet I find a "Кorobeiniki" performed on the piano. Or a wonderful performance by the Red Army Choir. Your interpretation was really fascinating and interesting. Thanks! 💖

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you!
We're really happy that you enjoyed our interpretation 🤗

Jedes mal beim Einkafen schwirrt mir die Melodie durch den Kopf, wenn es darum geht die Einkäufe in die Tüten bzw. das Auto zu stopfen, und zwar so, das alles perfekt passt. Das schwierige Level ist bei der Kassiererin, die die Einkäufe nur so durch den Scanner fliegen lässt. Da muss man richtig mit System ran, damit es sich nicht staut.
Wunderschöne Umsetzung! Werde ich vielleicht mal einfach so an der Kasse spielen lassen. Gegen schöne Musik ist ja nichts einzuwenden.

[@andreasu.3546]

Aber Vorsicht! Wenn Du so gut packst, dass es genau passt, dann lösen sich die Einkäufe in Luft auf.

Devamında fagot çellove tüm orkestraya yaymış. 2:10 çok keyifli. Wdryi Almanyadayken dinlerdim bazen klâsik müzik kanalını wdr4 müydü..

Korobeiniki is the music. I believe there is a dance that goes with it, the Korobushka. As many have pointed out here already, the tune is much older than Tetris, dating back to the old Russian Empire.
