I'm currently writing a research paper on this quartet. Apparently, when the Borodin Quartet played this quartet for him in 1962 in hopes of receiving his criticism, Shostakovich couldn't help but cry upon hearing the audible manifestations of his pain. The musicians left shortly thereafter as Shostakovich remained in tears.
The most vicious page turn I ever encountered was in the snare drum score for Ravel's Bolero. The idiot publisher actually printed this in a way that you have turn the page once. I solved this by simply memorizing with which instruments entrance the next dynamic level should be reached and then simply put the last page up where the second snare drum comes in and read from there.
Just to clarify, I have never put an ad on YT video. It is done by the rights holders, often erroneously. You can of course use an adblocker, including on a mobile device.
Mario is correct. The Borodins were asked by Shostakovich to play the 8th quartet for him in his Moscow home. The story is told by Rostislav Dubinsky, the original leader in his superb book Stormy Applause, page 283ff. The Beethoven’s did give its premiere. “when we finished the quartet, we looked at Shostakovich. His head was hanging low, his face hidden in his hands. We waited. He did not stir. We got up, quietly put our instruments, and stole out of the room.”
Mikhail Kopelman - 1st violin (1976-1996 in Borodin Quartet) Andrei Abramenkov - 2nd violin (1974-2011 in BQ) Dmitri Shebalin - viola (1953-1996 in BQ) Valentin Berlinski - cello (1945-2007 in BQ) Though the piece was first played to D. Sh. by a bit different BQ in 1960 at his home: Rostislav Dubinsky - vn1 (1945-1975 in BQ) Yaroslav Alexandrov - vn2 (1953-1974 in BQ) Dmitri Shebalin - va Valentin Berlinski - vc
Dmitri Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C minor (Op. 110) was written in three days (12-14 July 1960). The piece was written shortly after two traumatic events in the life of the composer: the first presentation of debilitating muscular weakness that would eventually be diagnosed as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and his reluctant joining of the Communist Party. According to the score, it is dedicated "to the victims of fascism and war"; his son, Maxim, interprets this as a reference to the victims of all totalitarianism, while his daughter Galina says that he dedicated it to himself, and that the published dedication was imposed by the Russian authorities. Shostakovich's friend, Lev Lebedinsky, said that Shostakovich thought of the work as his epitaph and that he planned to commit suicide around this time.The work was written in Dresden, where Shostakovich was to write music for the film Five Days, Five Nights, a joint project by Soviet and East German film-makers about the bombing of Dresden in World War II.The quartet was premiered in 1960 in Leningrad by the Beethoven Quartet. In the liner notes of the Borodin String Quartet's recording of the quartet in 1962, critic Erik Smith wrote: The Borodin Quartet played this work to the composer at his Moscow home, hoping for his criticisms. But Shostakovich, overwhelmed by this beautiful realisation of his most personal feelings, buried his head in his hands and wept. When they had finished playing, the four musicians quietly packed up their instruments and stole out of the room.The first movement of the piece was a set work for Edexcel music A level between 2008 and 2016. (Wikipedia)
I remember one time the most advanced of our high school Orchestra quartets played this piece for the recital. We weren’t the greatest orchestra… but they pulled it off flawlessly. The funny thing was the second violin and cello were sophomores. The rest of us were like “Jeez, you don’t have to show off” Of course, they were the section leaders that year and for the rest of their stay.
5:12 li can visualises the planes and the chasing and the bombing among white snow covered plains. Amazing brilliant interpretation by violinists and cellist. Dmitri is genuine master for creating this piece.
@@mollieephobiayes. I was very impressed with the viola the 1st time I listened to this even though I was not a musician and could not differentiate between the violin and the viola at that time. 😅
I've listened to probably 15 different performances of this quartet. The way this performance ends is special (and no, I'm not talking about the fact that it cuts out too early). It's sublime.
The whole piece is just absolutely unbelievable; the amount of emotion, both joyful and painful, expressed throughout the piece is completely unparalleled by all other compositions!
Brilliant. Such a stark economy of thematic material and rendered brilliantly. This piece changed my life and my approach to composition after I heard the Kronos Quartet version years ago.
I was listening to this while studying at full volume without headphones. And my mom says from the other room: "Honey, what's that banging?" at 12:08. I love you, mom.
just the best perfomance of this quartet , i can feel every escenary, for example when u see the soldiers in front of u or when they are listen to shot or when u see a lot of death people in the ground , just the best
Thanks for the upload. I just want to object against cutting the video before they were done playing. The slow fading in the end is a substantial detail of the piece... Also, it is extremely hard to play, and they do it really well.
When listening to the beginning of this quartet, I can't help but be reminded of Beethoven's Quartet in A minor, Op. 132. Both works use a similar four-note theme with ascending/descending half steps (D-Eb-C-B in Shostakovich and G#-A-F-E in Beethoven). Both composers also develop their four-note theme canonically in the first movement.
well played. there is a gel...that is important... unity..... the group.....the super group.....these broad massive chords are perfectly illustrated to the sound mind
As all Russians will realise the old tune 'Zamuchen ...' at 15:10 was deliberately incorporated into the Dimitri Shostakovich Quartet no.8, preceded by a single extended note and everything falls quiet for 'Zamuchen tyazheloy nevoley' (phonetic). We read elsewhere the complete quartet was played to Shostakovich at his home by the Borodins and left him deeply affected, Dmitri wrote this in memoriam of the loss of a dear friend; they left quietly. Few ppl in English mention this central tune, yet it is the key to understanding an incredible composition. Here is the title of the central incorporated tune in Ruski, it allows you to find much more material, many renditions ... Замучен тяжелой неволей
Does anyone know the year this video was released? The audio recording immediately stuck me as well executed. Good balance of direct and reverberant sound. Appealing stereo imaging; wide with good placement of the instruments in the sound stage. Tonality on the dark side (purely an observation). This is refreshing change of pace from what I typically find on youtube. I find so much is getting uploaded with HD video and almost no consideration for good audio. On that same material I often hear mono or near mono audio, or worse, what sounds like the on-board camera microphone. I'm guessing this is a network production given the multi-cam switching and the apparent age of the video. BBC maybe?
ggod but the low droning of the first violin all throughout movement 4, moving so abruptly into that harmony, its so moving, gives me chills every single time i listen to this piece. its perfect
This was composed under Khruschev seven years after Stalin's death but yes, you can argue that Shostakovich's later works are infused with memories of both the Great Purge and WWII

my favorite performers of shostakovich string quartets (they've done all of them). kronos did a good version of no 8, but i don't know if they've done any of his others and haven't checked.
Galina Vishnevskaya wrote in her memoires (Galina - A Russian Story) that Shostakovich showed the just-finished manuscript to her husband Mstislav Rostropovich. Rostropovich immediately called some friends and together they played for Shostakovich, who was moved to tears when Rostropovich started to play the quote from Lady MacBeth (Oh Seryozya, 17:00 in this video).

8:06 for dramatic page turn
Can't even begin to describe what this feels to me.
I admire the violists's efficient playing. It's insane how precise, concentrated, and intentional his sound is. So cool!!!!!
Is that Dubinsky on first fiddle - the guy who defected to the West?
Kevin Tole: No.
@@kevintole7212 if this was performed after '75, then no it isn't. He left in that year
wish i were that good, but im only a middle schooler, so i have time
@@kevintole7212 No, that's Kopelman, who also left for the US later.
The best chamber-music performance I have ever heard. I can't even imagine a more perfect performance of this masterpiece.
coudn't agree more..

I prefer the rendition by the Kronos String quartet personally, though this is very impressive indeed
Mikhail Kopelman - 1st violin (1976-1996 in Borodin Quartet)

The 4th movement is literally one of the most beautiful and emotionally powerful pieces of music I’ve ever heard!
I'm left breathless, tearful, on the verge of an endless abyss by this stellar performance.
I cry for pain and sorrow evertime I listen to it.
I know that feel, my author

I had the great fortune of hearing a complete cycle played by them in London in 1987 - unfortgetable
The deepest thing of Shostakovich.
Kirill Skrygan i would say the 15th quartet is more so
@@theend7339 that's what I was going to say....
Most authentic performance. Shostakovich resides in hearts of these extraordinary musicians!
