    One of the great, and in my view, greatly underrated, conductors of today. I just noticed how well marked and articulated his performances are, you can hear it in the very subtle breaks and phrasing of this movement, the way he has the musicians lightly accent certain notes; I think he really gets deep into understanding the phrases/musical phrasing of a piece, he delves further than many other conductors do, and the result is exceptional clarity; he is that speaker who enunciates every word, each syllable, very clearly, and phrases everything eloquently. This is not necessarily the finest rendition I have ever heard, but it is quite good and unique, such that it stands out from many others.

      @@dauwkjut3517 So wait, are you saying Michael Tilson Thomas is a bad conductor? If yes, why? But you also say he's a great musician... how is that possible? I mean considering how he's pretty much known exclusively as a conductor, professionally speaking. He may be a great pedagogue as well, he has a few videos of "Inside the Score" breaking down a few great pieces, including this Shostakovich 5th symphony I believe, but while he may have passing skills playing the piano, I'm not sure he's ever performed on a musical recording, if he has the requisite skill to do so.
      In my opinion, Vladimir Askenazy is not the greatest conductor, he's rather pedestrian AS A CONDUCTOR, but he is undoubtedly a great musician because he is a fantastic pianist, a much greater pianist than conductor in my opinion, his performance of Beethoven's 5th piano concerto along with Georg Solti is amazing, I think the best I've heard.

    I've been watching Michael Tilson Thomas' career almost from the beginning. It was his interpretation of le Sacre du Printemps that first really caught my attention. His attention to detail is second to none, but it's his understanding of the music that has aways stood out for me. He's one of those rare individuals that know how to "live inside the music" as the saying goes- something that is missing these days.

      Michael Tilson Thomas conducted the SFO and they had a recording several years before this. The timpani were sharp, though, so this one surpasses that version.

    This is a pedestrian performance. It is exactly how it is written. There is no interpretation, only notes well played just like every musician played it in high school college or repetory school they attended. The glory is in the music. The musicians played it. The conductor just had the best seat.

      Stalin, unlike current politicians and the military, was well versed, in addition to a lot of things, in art. His criticisms are remarkable, as can be read in his collected works, which are widely available in Russia.

      You can hear it as phoney, but to me it is the heroism of the individual against the system or the 'world'. Shostakovich could have it both way, and he did. To me this is the most powerful and stirring music it is possible to imagine.

    There seems to be an unwritten rule on RUclips with this movement that you dare not show all the violinists in unison at the final coda. Show the timpanist, the horn players, the cellists and the conductor. I looked at all other performances of this movement and visually, they are very similar. Huh?

    Dmitri was quite the badass, no?
    These Symphonies and the Quartets...man...they have a few things to say. They are so desperate, so honest, so earnest, so passionate, so uncomplicated....all at once. The term genius gets thrown around a lot...but I'm not sure there is a better example of genius than this body of work. The guy used Art like a tool.
