Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5, Mov. 4 (Allegro non troppo)

[@perttirasilainen1142]

This whole symphony is brilliant! I have played piano & celesta a couple of times, for example in Helsinki Philharmonic under beloved James de Preist.

[@chesterrosas-guyon7220]

Exciting, masterful conducting!!

[@ryanduan7402]

This part is my best love of Shostakovich's. Nothing compares this part in how percussion is leading the music.

[@hillcresthiker]

Try to listen to the percussion in the end of his 7th symphony. Its like no other

[@jslasher1]

@@hillcresthiker … or the 12th for that matter.

[@unfinishedgestalt]

Amazing. I think everyone who was at that concert will remember it for the rest of their lives.

[@johnemanuelson915]

I know, right?! I saw Solti conduct Shosti 5 w the CSO around this same time. Unforgettable

[@enriquesanchez2001]

BERLIN is one of the greatest halls! I was there last year! Stunning!

[@hillcresthiker]

one of the top ten endings in all of classical music

[@lionelmercier1]

Solti is the best for evertime...

[@bglidden1962]

As a percussionist, I always love playing cymbals with a Russian composer's music. I'm old now, so I don't know if I could pull off Tchaikovsky'ys 4th, but I think I could do this one :)

[@snaidin]

me too

[@barney6888]

This is absolutely spectacular. God Bless those kids having a riot!

[@luisadunsduns241]

Vibrante

[@brucegelman5582]

The greatest of his great work

[@lawrenceeccleston6874]

Stunning!

[@johnemanuelson915]

I know, right?! I have also posted all four movements of this performance, if you would like to enjoy the rest.

[@thefrankonion]

Sir Georg Solti, Ladies and Gentlemen!

[@fernandojeremyayalasilvera6141]

For me the best part of the 4th mov (that part is phenomenal): 2:11 - 3:25

[@cwillpiko1994]

2:48 !!!!

[@paul-zx5du]

Gorgeous.

[@mehrdadshayegh3955]

This music made me very happy.

[@Wompwomp453]

0:11 one of audience covers his ears 😂

[@borisbrinkmann]

1:39 Der Kleine hinter dem Pauker hat Spaß! 😂

[@kaiserdanny5015]

The best: best orchestra, best hall & acoustics and the best of the best conductor - Toscannini and then Solti = Master in Hebrew.

[@alexeyizmirliev64]

Bravissimo Sir Georg! Capisce la musica, rarissimo fra I direttori d'oggi!

[@juanjoseescrivasegui2185]

Que tensión de la orquesta hasta el final,que grande es shostakovic

[@baridaddy]

BREAKNECK TEMPO!! FABULOUS CONTRAST THROUGHOUT!!

[@MahlerHolic1860]

I wonder why this isn't on the Berliner Philharmoniker Digital Concert Hall?

[@alrincon7676]

At 1:22 is that Gorbachev playing the double bass in the back row? 😂

[@Robert...Schrey]

Gorbachev is dead.

[@alrincon7676]

@@Robert...Schrey obviously. Just pointing out that the double bass has a striking resemblance to Gorbachev. Besides, he was alive when this concert was recorded.

[@robertduggan1531]

Klaus Tennstedt is also in the bass section

[@charlescornner]

If Berlin had only hired Solti to begin with...Karajan NEVER had this kind of fire...

[@charlescornner]

If only the LA Phil hadn't been stupid and hired Mehta as his assistant without asking him...

[@h.s.7734]

Is this from Japanese TV program? I didn't know Solti played Shostakovich No. 5 conducting BPO.

[@lawrenceeccleston6874]

Stunning

[@andre_santos2181]

Indeed I feel a lot of Anti-Soviet agitaton and bourgeouis formalism on it. Luckly, Comrade Jdanov will apply the due measures.

[@White-Bone]

ショルティ　ブラボォ！！

[@stephanfrank1253]

fast but clear

[@治夫-f1u]

このクラッシックの大曲は、オーケストラで演奏するのがベストだ。吹奏楽でコンクールの自由曲として演奏されるが、やはりスケールの大きさが違う！やはり、弦楽器の表現力は大したものだ。管楽器だけの吹奏楽でも悪いとは言わないが、それぞれの好みと考え方があると思う。私はオーケストラ演奏を選ぶ。元来オケの為に書かれた作品だ。

[@hansedlund6361]

In my opinion, the end was way too fast haha but they sound incredible!

[@alexeyizmirliev64]

Il tempo e fantastico!

[@alexeyizmirliev64]

E la forza del Male che ti atrappa!

[@nomearod]

Way slower than Bernstein's version.

[@ColorStaticOfficial]

Same thought on my end, really messed with the tension

[@jslasher1]

No loss of tension as I hear it.

[@jslasher1]

Knockout performance. I think the tympanist could play his part in his sleep.

[@Symphorch]

That’s Rainer Seegers for ya…cool as a cucumber, and recently retired!

[@alanscott9245]

[@johnmyers466]

Was Solti in a hurry to get somewhere?

部長刑事のオープニング

[@HelloooThere]

Dude….

[@jgesselberty]

Too fast, too fast, too fast. And then, puts on the brakes for the final bars. It is not in the score.

[@alexeyizmirliev64]

Evidentemente non sai la storia della 5a, e non capisci niente di quello che sta dentro!

[@babonicarlos]

Mravinsky is faster.

[@hovsepdikran8811]

Ами не си беше научил партитурата. The score has to be learnt

[@liauchungren848]

Yes I absolutely agree, the old man was speeding too fast, there's no nuance in melody line at all. It's a failure. Listen to Bernard Haitink version with the Concertgebow issued on DECCA level, it's a HUGE DIFFERENCE, WORLD APART. This is lousy, what happened to Solti that evening?

[@paul-zx5du]

The audience thinks differently.

[@夏目雅子-y1e]

[@onceamusician5408]

eeerrrrr . . what am i to say . . Allegro non troppo does mean NOT TOO FAST. is this yet another case of a conductor ignoring the composer's own directions for the sake of cheap thrills??

[@Infidelio]

He needs to be issued a summons.

[@davidlin7251]

Solti’s like screw that

[@chesterrosas-guyon7220]

Nonsense about ‘Too Fast’. Shostakovich would have approved it.

[@tubsy.]

Music is here to have fun and experiment with, I find this tempo enjoyable, if you don't like it go listen to any of the 50,000 other recordings and stop elitistically whining
