Love the way he changes his sound during this excerpt: it always blends with the orchestra, just getting slightly more and more aggressive without actually increasing the volume. Top level progression for a top level artist
Timpani is one of the many, many instruments besides piano that composers have enjoyed writing for, Charles-Valentin. Excited for you at the beginning of your journey! ❤️
I really love it when the symphony has a timpani solo. It's funny, even, since the Timpani is usually in the foundation, now it's been brought to the front.
First time I have ever heard of this movement with THIS timpanist performing it. I was simply blown away, especially after hearing other timpanists. From where he was positioned on stage to how ferocious the sound was. Of course, if I must say, it really did not hurt that he was cute too. From a music lover.
Now listen to the legendary Kirill Kondrashin recording ( it's on youtube) with the Moscow Philharmonic. The timpani passage is at 35: 12. Now THAT'S savage.
I can't believe someone acknowledged this! I'm not alone! The 3rd movement doesn't even have much music, just repetition, and that repetition is unchanged until it turns into badass timpani, and then the terror hits you like Shostakovich saying, "Now I'm serious!" ...and that subsequent drumroll, man, no movie can build such tension.
Well done Matteo( I was once a wannabe concert pianist studying at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Music, Edward Johnson BLDG. You apprehension, interpretation and conducting is awesome. Thank you for sharing your musical vision with us …ALL😮
my understanding is there is not much mixing in a pop-dance-electronic-music sense. it's more of 'place mics wisely and let them solve the balance and don't touch the mix much unless something is really off'
Those are trumpets with keys instead of valves, and that is how they are held. They are used commonly in orchestras in Europe. You occasionally see them in the US, often for classical-era pieces (e.g. Mozart, Haydn, early Schubert, etc.).
What really bothers me is that so many timpani players play sitting down. Timpani is designed to be played standing. In the words of Everett (Vic) Firth. Boston Symphony Orchestra. I personally heard him state this in an interview.
The eights is Shosti's last big serious war symphony - alledgedly the timpanis here are used to portrait rolling tanks over the bodies of soviet and german soldiers lying on the battlefield.
The Berlin Philharmonic has 2 principal timpanists. The one with the mustache is the legendary Rainer Seegers, who retired last year. The one in this video is Wieland Welzel, also a legend. The BPh has engaged another young principal timpanist, Vincent Vogel, in place of Seegers.

that’s how sheet music works
does he change his sound during the excerpt though?
@@AndreyRubtsovRU yep, but very slightly, like a micro-crescendo, you feel it more than hear it
@@RonAles that stuff isn't written on the paper, just saying
Wieland is a brilliant timpanist!
This suddenly got me really interested in timpani
@@onewhogetsbread9975 thank youu, will listen today
😂😂😂

THIS AND MORE
Timpani is so fun to play, it’s totally worth a shot
I really love it when the symphony has a timpani solo. It's funny, even, since the Timpani is usually in the foundation, now it's been brought to the front.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His first symphony has a nice tympany solo as well, even more exposed than this one, and features a glissando.
Fantastic passage of Shostakovich 8th Symphony
Underrated piece
Which movement is this?

From where he was positioned on stage to how ferocious the sound was. Of course, if I must say, it really did not hurt that he was cute too. From a music lover.
Wieland got it goin on
Now listen to the legendary Kirill Kondrashin recording ( it's on youtube) with the Moscow Philharmonic. The timpani passage is at 35: 12. Now THAT'S savage.
That timpani player was just rocking the house! Fantastic performance and solo! :)
Shostakovich is very great at writing for percussions
This and the last bars of his 10th symphony with the DSCH motiv are just so cool. I believe there’s more than that for timpani.
there isn't. people tried and it got out of fasion.
Shosty's Eleventh symphony has some cool timapni passages in its second and fourth movement.
I can't believe someone acknowledged this! I'm not alone!
The 3rd movement doesn't even have much music, just repetition, and that repetition is unchanged until it turns into badass timpani, and then the terror hits you like Shostakovich saying, "Now I'm serious!"
...and that subsequent drumroll, man, no movie can build such tension.
Dmitri: I got this triad that needs playing.
Timpani: hold my beer.
I always love the timpani part in Shostakovich symphonies
I love timpani in orchestra. Shostakovich got me very well.
You again bro I see you everywhere 😭
If you love timpani, try Carl Nielsen's 4th symphony. In the final movement he has a showdown between two timpanists.
@@jgesselberty Thank you !
Wieland Welzel - what a gun
Wieland Welzel and Rainer Seegers were the greatest timpani duo ever!
@@grpcrsh They were a great team. but Nick Woud and Marinus Komst were no slouches, either. :>)
WONDERFUL AND POWERFUL!! ❤
Eu adoro música clássica.
Porque é uma música calma, tranquila , suave , e que nos faz repousar.
i needed the timpani to slay and by god he delivered
Slay he did, Dmitri
The ending of Danse Bacchanale is another great timpani moment.
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Andris Nelsons
The Kraft Timpani Concertos are pretty fantastic as well.
When he reaches for the hardest mallets he has you know things are about to get thumpin.
Shosty was also a master of using soft timpani melodically in places.
I agree. 1st movement of his 11th symphony is a good example.
@@notarbolz926 coda of 4th symphony is another, although the pp timpani pulse is barely able to hear in most recordings
Well done Matteo( I was once a wannabe concert pianist studying at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Music, Edward Johnson BLDG.
You apprehension, interpretation and conducting is awesome. Thank you for sharing your musical vision with us …ALL😮
Thank you so much, but it's Andris Nelson conducting Berliner Philharmoniker😅😂
The double set of timpani near the end of the 4th symphony is pretty badass, as well.
Сильное место🎉🎉🎉
When she says "I think we should just be friends..."
Ah, this feel like when I battle Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre....
Crazy and Badassly fast Timpani is heard when you battle The Weather Trio,
When you're a musicion playing this, you need earplugs.
C'est ce passage que je veux qu'on joue, le jour de mon enterrement. Et toc ! 🎉
Can't imagine mixing a recording with all these instruments.
my understanding is there is not much mixing in a pop-dance-electronic-music sense. it's more of 'place mics wisely and let them solve the balance and don't touch the mix much unless something is really off'
Even turned the trumpets sideways!
Those are trumpets with keys instead of valves, and that is how they are held. They are used commonly in orchestras in Europe. You occasionally see them in the US, often for classical-era pieces (e.g. Mozart, Haydn, early Schubert, etc.).
you can tell how loud that was even my mic gave up 💀
If you don’t know Shostakovich 5 and like this timpani, check out the beginning and end of the 4th movement.
The hardest bass drop in classical music :P
Ok, but why is Prokofiev playing the bassoon?
That music sounds like it could be used in certain movies
Sounds like the Desert Chase/Nazi theme from indiana jones
4th Symphony, 3rd movement please!
What really bothers me is that so many timpani players play sitting down. Timpani is designed to be played standing. In the words of Everett (Vic) Firth. Boston Symphony Orchestra. I personally heard him state this in an interview.
Super 👍
Il faudrait également un extrait du finale de la 4e de Nielsen
good job.
אינטרגלקטי מוסמך! 🌹
Goose bump city!
So awesome.
The eights is Shosti's last big serious war symphony - alledgedly the timpanis here are used to portrait rolling tanks over the bodies of soviet and german soldiers lying on the battlefield.
Shosty 8!!!!
One of the reasons star wars films are so expesive to make and watch
Full performance of this?
Aviable on Digital Concert Hall
What is that? I meant any link for this full performance.
Barbers second essay timpani 🥰
If there ever were a timpani concerto, this would be it.
Percussionists not used to reading that much notes
Which symphony is it?
Shostakovich's Eight Symphony, Third Mov.
poor french horn
Who's the timpanist?
Wieland Welzel
我一直都在想那邊是怎麼做的..
Ja, es ist ein sehr lustiges Musikinstrument.
甚麼怎麼做？
This new timpanist took over from the other timpanist with the black moustache?
The Berlin Philharmonic has 2 principal timpanists. The one with the mustache is the legendary Rainer Seegers, who retired last year. The one in this video is Wieland Welzel, also a legend. The BPh has engaged another young principal timpanist, Vincent Vogel, in place of Seegers.
"classical music is boring"
no one mature says that
@@dan-us6nkI think it was said ironically
It sounds really cool but it seems that he’s just playing 8th notes on the drums at either ff or fff with wood tipped mallets.
Good music is often simple, especially in the case of Shostakovich
Quarter notes actually, but FAST
Verum est quod legitur, fronte capillata
Ringo Star would have have done it better
Meh, kinda mid.You should listen to more French horn
Bro a band kid
Clark Donald Wilson George Rodriguez Robert
A bit apologetic -- doesn't look like he really means it. Not nearly enough of a racket!
8th symphony is good but Shostokovich best symphony is still the 11th.
and who said that 8th was better LOL
Mma429gwa Mma429gwa I just
Mmmm ÿ
I'm so tired of this stupid epithet "badass"...
