Fun Fact: Bernstein was Shostakovich's favorite American conductor. They met in Moscow in 1959 when Bernstein brought the NY Phil there to perform his 5th Symphony, and then made a great recording of it for CBS. It was classy of Lenny to not brag about meeting the composer and discussing his music with him.

@andreistoriei20502 жыл бұрын
Vaughan Williams defined British music and changed symphonic music forever. I consider him a great composer for his lasting influence on film music, his dedication to folk music preservation, and his defiance against the long-exhausted teutonic tropes of European classical music. He captured the essence of war better than almost any composer in his 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th symphonies... which are diverse masterpieces ranging from hauntingly gorgeous, furiously brooding and atonal, and blissfully sublime. He also crafted a sound more distinct than most composers ever could, using unique harmony and modes to create shockingly beautiful music I believe deserves more respect. His 9th is absolutely stunning, a different kind of 9th from a different kind of composer that deserves more recognition. The piece isn't meant to be a 9th of 9ths, as Bernstein puts it, but more of a solemn and heart-breaking goodbye as well as a conclusion to work. Very good piece, go listen to it if you haven't. To people who've listened to all of Vaughan Williams's works, this one packs an extra punch. Again, highly recommend.

Great music, not really a great symphony, though, nor strictly mainstream as a symphony, either. Up until Mahler, symphonies in the 'correct' sense tended to be the province of teutons (not including Czechs). After Mahler, they rather gave up on the form and at this point the 'mainstream' of symphonies progressed more internationally, for example with Sibelius, Vaughan-Williams and, of course, Shostakovich.

Haydn wrote a staggering 104 complete symphonies in his lifetime, but most of them don't deviate very far from a very predictable formula when it comes to structure or instrumentation. I've heard the same joke told in a different way about Vivaldi's concertos. The joke is that all of Haydn's work is quite pleasant, and often funny, enough, but listening to five Haydn symphonies is like listening to one symphony played slightly differently five times in a row. This is in stark contrast to some of Haydn's symphonic successors, like Mozart, Schubert, and especially Beethoven, whose works (most people agree) are many times more ambitious.

We minions can think what we like, but if the aim is to understand what influenced Shostakovich, then the point is this: Bernstein seemed to suggest that the notion of writing a ninth symphony was daunting to a composer post-war because nobody had done it for a long time. There is plenty of documented evidence to suggest that Shostakovich knew and respected Miaskovsky as a composer, so it is doubtful he would have seen this as "a path untrodden since the Great Romantics".

May I add this to your Bernstein quote? " ...and then Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1958."

Hi hope someday technology is advanced enough to somehow clone Bernstein to the state just before he died, with all his memories and the true belief that he would just have been there dying just seconds ago yet in fact 30 years ago... help him stay live for about another 50 years and enjoy his performance and educative videos like he does best and loves it. Maybe one day he will read this comment and laugh at its consistency, but also laugh because I was wrong: he won't just live 50 more years, he knows that his consciousness and mind can just always be uploaded on a robiological new body and still have a individual sense of continuity. He will virtually be immortal, or at least medically. So will be for all the fortunate people on earth. But we'll have to make less children than... or find another world to live in, be it underground or something... ok bye
