Shostakovich: Quartet No. 8, Op. 110, II. Allegro molto

[@joshi666]

The early days of death metal. Suffocation and gorguts can't deny the influence.

[@ryan.s3992]

FuriousJ yeah have you watched the TEDx talk about beethovens heavy metal

[@HC-fq7rl]

Everyone complaining about how slow it is. This is a really hard peice

[@christophbader3713]

Yes, the timing is good too.

[@segovillamusic]

Amen! I played 2nd violin on this shit and it was still insanely hard!

[@louisdhoore]

It's under-tempo, but it sounds a lot cleaner than most performances.

[@Nenn-qs2yw]

Louis Dhoore Hey friend!! I agree - slow tempi.

[@JeanDeLaCroix_]

Well yes but if your idea of Shosta is to play clean I think you are missing his soul

[@DoubleMusician]

NO. Tempo in the notes marked as semibreve = 120! They played 118-121!

[@MadDog44]

Faster sounds MENTAL...just like the peaceful, relaxed Shoshtakovich went as the commies took over, took people from their homes, locked down others, locked people up in mental hospitals, mrdrd people,+. Here's the best one I've found that really fits MENTAL. Love it!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHK3n2ClatiNd6s

I think I prefer it slower

Ok but that viola is HUGE

[@mineyoo1999]

for anyone who says this tempo is slow......... WHAT????? i think this is even quicker than the borodin string quartet recording I'm used to listen to. this tempo is fine and they play it very cleanly too. superb performance! I'M IN LOVE!!!! man I need to listen to the whole piece of their performance...

[@kristjan.v]

i think that this tempo is very good, they play it very convincingly , so many qualities and harmonic changes come out. Many performances of this are so fast that it sounds just like a mess and the content suffers

[@jzzym3talman789]

AGREED.

[@cel3stialcity]

But isn’t that the purpose of the composition ? Shostakovich composed this like a cry for help, a composition that shows frustration and agony

[@kristjan.v]

@@cel3stialcity the purpose us to lose the harmony?

[@cel3stialcity]

@@kristjan.v yes, to fully express all the emotions the composition is supposed to convey, it has to lose harmony so the listener can feel it properly

[@acoolusername1447]

To all the people saying this is too slow, it's not because it's a difficult piece and they can't play it fast, (cuz if you can play it slow, you can play it quickly 😪) but because it sounds much cleaner and refined in this tempo.

[@DoubleMusician]

Tempo in the notes is marked as minim = 120! They played 118-121. It's an original tempo!=))

[@acoolusername1447]

@@DoubleMusician I'm not a musician; but maybe everyone's complaining because other interpretations, for example, janet jansen's was pretty fast.

[@DoubleMusician]

@@acoolusername1447 In any case, *the tempo of Shostakovich is half note = 120.* (For ex. tempo in this performance). All others "fast interpretations" of this piece are only "fast interpretations".=))

When I hear the beginning, I think that it is somewhat to slow, but after the beginning it sounds perfect, so, to slow seems to me only the beginning notes....

Said by some to be a precursor of heavy metal, which I don't listen to but an intriguing observation

It actually is whole note = 120. But yeah, deffinetly lacks emotion. Even to that point that it sounds slow

a little under-tempo...(A LOT)
