The Hamlet Suite - Shostakovich

[@bgccallahan4116]

I am subscribing to every off the mainstream KZbin classical channel I can! This "Hamlet" has chops! Shostakovich fan since the '50s.

Hermosa música, hermosa película.

Maestro, im listening 👂🏾

[@roideschats8799]

sublime !

[@blueevangelion]

LOve Shostakovich...

[@kasperrghat4318]

That Hamlet film was fantastic. It was suggested to beat the one of Lawrence Olivier.

[@Adrian-zx9uh]

Amazing

[@cehussey]

This is so badass. So much better than the flaccid Hollywood scores, today. I wish more movie & TV composers could write like this--or even be permitted to write like this. (Oftentimes, directors just wants the BG music to sound like the temp tracks they work with in post-production.)

[@roideschats8799]

le problème est que les films d'Hollywood sont des films du Capital dominant, enfermé dans le mythe de l'éternel présent de la marchandise... ils ne peuvent avoir aucune critique profonde de l'Histoire... dès lors, leur musique également est condamnée au consensus. L'homme sorti de son Histoire, fut-elle tragique, ne peut développer un art digne de ce nom.

This is Real Music. More than music.

[@OmarFernandesAly]

Marvelous as most of Shostakovich´s compositions!

[@archcorenth]

The Gadfly Suite, too, is very good.

[@archcorenth]

Five Days-Five Nights is my favorite.

[@jamilamirov5244]

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Bob9595-tw5zf]

The 16th symphony in it's own right!

[@artsloving]

brilliant interpretation !

[@wwr-music5469]

15:05 - sounds like Khachaturian, not Shostakovich.

[@Galastel]

Maybe Shostakovich drew inspiration from Khachaturian for this bit. In the film, that's the theme of the actors' arrival, a scene where Hamlet's madness (or "madness" - however you choose to interpret it) is very prominent.

[@TheVaughan5]

I think there are parts in the score that sound decidedly like Prokofiev rather than Khachaturian though I have to confess I don't know a lot of the latter's works.

[@-511]

WWR - music, почему вы пишете. что на 15.05 Хачатурян ??? На этом месте фанфары, они могут быть у кого угодно. Это все - Шостакович , гениальный Шостакович.

[@МыПобедим]

@@-511 он так слышит 🤭

[@ИгорьДымченко-к9л]

No. Pure Shostakovich. Khachaturian is QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THIS!

[@Dylonely_9274]

We need timestamps !

Ինչքան առանց Սմակտունովսկու չի կարելի պատկերացնել ֆիլմը, նույնքան էլ առանց Շոստակովիչի երաժշտության:

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

Awesome!!!Of corse,it is Shostakovich!!!

[@Ian4262]

Shostakovich is simply one of the greatest classical composers of all time, but especially the 20th Century. It is unbelievable the hardships he endured, the criticism, the polemicism, the blackmail. Eventually master murderer Stalin dies, the regime becomes anxious to accommodate change and artists are rehabilitated. For years bowed by extreme tyranny, and the disappearances of family, friends and colleagues Shostakovich leaves fear behind and his life becomes tolerable. He marries late for love. His music demonstrates cynicism, terror, remorse, defiance and a the love of his people. It explodes with anger at how they were treated and lied to. His glorious orchestrations range from his experimental early symphonies to his later and greatet works. In isolation and penury he wrote scores for cinema to earn enough to survive, and from this period of poverty and official diminution some of the most sublime music ever created (eg Gadfly) emerged. Dimitri Dimitrivitch Shostakovich - a musical giant.

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

Thanks for the details explenation of Shostakovich!!!

[@РатиборРодин]

​​@@Ian4262 Вы так говорите,как будто на западе или ещё где нибудь не было тяжёлых судеб у композиторов, при этом с 90х наступила не свобода,а деградация и колонизация.

[@ВладимирГончаров-у6ы]

​@@Ian4262Что вы там за границей понимаете? Это было время высочайшего подъёма, героическое время, рождавшее гениальных людей, а сейчас мы к моему большому сожалению переживаем упадок. Но это пройдёт!

[@josepablo1514]

Shostakovich's music has always a taste of rage, darkness and violence.... the musical footstep of a society sick under Stalin's hand.

[@МыПобедим]

You are really sick

[@ВладимирГончаров-у6ы]

​@@МыПобедимсогласен с вами.

[@ВладимирГончаров-у6ы]

Не верьте пропаганде, Сталин был лучшим правителем России!

[@leonshargo]

You captured it perfectly, friend.
