Dmitri Shostakovich - The Execution of Stepan Razin, Op.119 (Audio + Full Score)

[@lightspeed174]

Even though I don't understand the language, I still enjoy this piece immensely. All I know is, Shostakovich was a genius. Thank you so much for uploading this magnificent cantata,

[@henrygingercat]

A great piece and the first 5 minutes must be some of the most exciting music Shostakovich wrote.

Vintage late Shosty, always a miracle of his originality

[@spitzwegayrich7837]

Oh my word, I've considered myself as a Shostakovich fanatic for several years, and there are still so many pieces by him I haven't heard, my god, this piece is sooo exciting. That bell of doom that appears dozen times is goddamn frightening. Such a genius.

[@samsv289]

must be his most underrated piece along with the michelangelo suite such dread and rage is poured out the loud and alarming episodes are great but those quiet and chilling parts that take up much of the piece are amazing too

[@dsch0]

The scene at 20:32 is so filled with grief and rage, simmering under the manic oboe solo, it gives me shivers every time.

Can't believe I've never heard of this! this is an amazing piece of music

[@notarbolz926]

Is this possibly Shostakovich's most underrated major work?

[@martinprochazka5280]

yes

[@NorthonBruce]

one of them surely

[@brickscomposer]

Very similar to Symphony no 13, one of my favourite... so great work

While the third section sounds like his eleventh

[@terrywyatt8290]

Missed this one for some reason great

[@mrtchaikovsky]

One of his best works; I think it's great.

[@notarbolz926]

The opening theme is very similar to a theme he used in the Allegretto furioso from his 10th string quartet, composed around the same time.

Section l - 0:37 Section ll - 7:10 Section lll - 14:12 Section lV - 18:59
