As a schoolboy at a boarding school in Ireland in the late 1950s I wrote to Dmitri Shostakovich when he was in hospital in Leningrad. He was amused to receive a letter from an Irish kid and wrote back. Years later my wife & I were invited to meet Maxim Shostakovich at the Festival Hall in London. Almost 60 years ago my wife (at that time) won the All England Ballet competition dancing to this beatiful Andante. As you can imagine the competition adjudicators were stunned.

It is pieces like this that are the reason I listen to music. PIeces that express such longing... Such sorrow... Such hope... It evokes in me the urge to both cry and sing for tomorrow... I learned this piece and played it with my piano teacher for a recital, her playing the piano part, and I sobbed as I played... Truly one of the greatest pieces ever put down on paper. Thank you Shostakovich, from the bottom of my heart, for this great gift to the world.

Years ago my father was in hospital, both his kidneys were failing and he was on the way out, they couldn't find a suitable donor and I could barely bring myself to stay by his side seeing him like that. I went to a park to think about things and while I was there Shostakovich himself saw me sitting alone, he came over and asked me what was wrong, I told him how my father was dying and needed a kidney to survive but we couldn't get one. Shostakovich didn't say a word he just lifted up his shirt, unzipped his stomach and pulled out both his kidneys and handed them to me, "He needs them more than I do" he said and walked away, I rushed to the hospital and my father was saved! I'll never forget how Shostakovich saved my father's life...And later on, that young shostakovich turned out to be Keanu Reeves disguised as Bill Murray, thank you Shostakeanumurray you saved my father and I will always be thankful

usually, i relate to Shostakovich's music as a child of abuse. i relate to his constant fear of the KGB watching his every move. i relate to the frustration, the feeling of being made to play a part when your heart is far and away, elsewhere. but this piece was written by Shostakovich, a father, for his son. i cry because i wish i could have what his son had. i cry because i fear i could never be as good a father, for all that i've seen.

This entire work was choreographed and performed by the Dance Theater Of Harlem many years ago; and this movement was used to devastating effect in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "Fox And His Friends". Such ineffable eloquence in that second movement. Its deep, contemplative sadness almost seems to stop time in its tracks.

Quand Shostakovich a enregistré ce concerto à Paris, il était déjà assez malade et avait des difficultés à maîtriser sa main gauche. D'où son manque de virtuosité. Ce 2°mouvement est pourtant très beau, et a la profondeur de l'âme du maître.
@braydmusic15 жыл бұрын
There is an amazing fusion of new and old in Shostakovich... so that you can hear the respect for the 'old' in his more progressive pieces, but you can also feel some sort of 'newness' in his more traditional sounding pieces.

@prototropo11 ай бұрын
So transcendently lovely; a long thread of pure silken melody over a satin harmonic sheen. Also interesting to me--an odd dynamic every time I hear a composer perform one of his (yes, alas, invariably, still "his") own works, I'm nearly always surprised by how straightforward, in almost piano-roll fidelity, it is. Not 'automaton' sounding, but utterly safe, and always pedagogical to the level of prosaic-sounding, though never pedantic. Ok, you want evidence. Well, Sherlock, go dredge up Stravinsky conducting Firebird, or Bolcom playing his Grateful Ghost Rag, or Copland conducting Quiet City, or Gershwin playing his piano preludes. The notable exceptions have been Bernstein's recordings of his Overture to "Candide," and his suite for "West Side Story." He rocks and cradles each of those musical works exuberantly and precisely, respectively (and as I expect, ideally). It's perfectly Bernstein! And also Lou Harrison performing one of his works for gamelan--which one exactly I don't remember, sorry to say. But I gathered an impression of his "interpretation" as gorgeously, subjectively confident but objectively tender. And I wasn't too surprised because I once met Harrison, about 25 years ago, and he was an engaging gentleman, scholarly in his breadth of music theory, technique and technicalities, and generous in his remarks on other composers. He had a special regard for the works of Samuel Barber, and these were shared after several other discussants had disparaged Barber as academically ossified, as helplessly neo-Romantic. Harrison dispatched the cattiness with utter objectivity and no whiff of an adversarial retort. It was sort of a master class in social grace, a virtue I think radiates quite reliably from his spiritually nutritious, cerebrally polished compositions. Especially in his own recordings, which impressed me as having been produced with competence, genuine musicality and intellectual humility. I'm sure he is very much missed by friends and the communities in which he traveled.

I thought the same thing. I don't think he would have been allowed to play it more expressively given the Soviet's constraints on art, emotionality, and artistic license. Shostakovich ran afoul of Stalin with other works. He seems forced to play this like a ballet dancer in a straight jacket.
