The nervous man that my books faithfully described. 5 to 6 more years of life he would have heard digital recordings.

Ничего особенно нервозного в нем не увидела, если брать во внимание его возраст, непростое время, в которое он жил, и его живейшую заинтересованность в постановке. Он, конечно, хочет, чтобы всё было идеально.)

Any chance of an English transcription of what is being said. That would be great for all the English speakers who like his music. Thanks.

0:33: Shostakovich: In the number 130 there is a hit to Piatti. In the gallop, you know, where A-major chord is. There it is, uh, maybe skipped accidentally in your score, because it's supposed to be, number 130, the first measure... Do you have this hit in your score? If... Rozhdestvensky: ...That you mean later, when does the glissando start? On the 130th... Sch: No, it was the first measure of the number 130, there... R: In the 130th number there is nothing there, if in the 130th number. Sch: The first measure. R: Ah... Mmm... Well, so that we play, I'll try, we have to do... (to the orchestra): 127! Sch: Sorry... sorry, please for, you know... 1:20: Rozhdestvensky: ...Well, I can not hear the clarinet pushes the accent! Sch: No, they do not hear... they do not hear... (to his son): Well, Maxim, maybe you then go there and stand in the point where is the most... R: Let's go to smoke after the break? Sch: Well, go, I do not know... R: Why? Sch: ...will this brings good... yes? R: At least it will sharpen the attention. Sch: Well, I don't know how... sharpen, sharpen the attention, if I do not hear... R: So, they can not singing with pure intonation if they have sung before?.. Sch: Although yes... R: Until then it goes all the time... Sch: Maxim, well, how do you like the score? Maxim: Very good. 2:05: Sch: Uh... everything is a little n-neutral. Still, the latest hit you need to hammer, thunder strike - "ooh!" The end, it's over! [orchestra artist]: Yes, exactly, yes.

Vraiment intéressant que si l'on comprend la langue russe :(

[@Mariusz-Swider1968]

Both of them were of Polish origin. The grandpa of Szostakowicz (Bolesław Szostakowicz) took part in insurection against Russians in Poland and was punished by sending to Siberia. The real name of Rozhdestvensky was "Pietkiewicz" and he was also a Pole.

[@michaelmcdonagh5104]

So Shostakovich disliked, or even hated Russians? Seems to make sense?

[@orlandofurioso2034]

did they speak Polish?

[@user-on6db4rf4s]

​@@orlandofurioso2034Shostakovich didn't. The only language he knew was Russian. Ivan Stollertinsky, a close friend of him, would attempt to teach him German but in the end he still only knew a little bit of it. That's how he and Benjamin Britten kinda were able to communicate - shitty basic German Probably part of the reason why he never attempted to defect even once, unlike Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky or Prokofiev.

[@orlandofurioso2034]

@@user-on6db4rf4s he always rejected the idea of defection, not because of language barriers . Rostropovich tried to convince him, but he couldn'timagine living outside Russia... Prokofiev never defected either. Stravinsky lived in the West already. Rachmaninov left during the revolution.

[@classical7745]

@@orlandofurioso2034 You use the word "desertion." Is not correct. Leaving your country freely and going to live in another is a right. Shostakovich's son fled the USSR and sought asylum in the West. Prokofiev also spent a few years living in the West, as an exile, but eventually returned to the USSR because of the nostalgia he felt for the country of his birth.

Possibly. He was certainly an alcoholic.

[@michaelmcdonagh5104]

@@ExxylcrothEagle And I don't think that he was a particularly nice person, but his supporters -- i.e. propagandists have made him a saint-- because he obviously loved to suffer, and his career, and the public's fascination with it, have accomplished that goal. Prokofiev was more severely attacked than Shostakovich who has cemented the public's devotion to the 19th century idea of the "pure " artist suffering for his art. And as my late composer-critic friend Virgil Thomson wrote in the New York Herald Tribune in 1947 -- " Ernst Krenek pointed out that Shostakovich, who had accepted from his government artistic correction and directives regarding the subject matter of his music, was the prince of collaborators. "

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

@michaelmcdonagh5104 Am I correct that he felt somewhat persecuted by the top Soviet officials...on and off for years? I always assumed that he might have been gulaged if he was good for the overall prestige of Russian culture. Also that's nice you were friends with Virgil Thomson. I think I remember reading some of his reviews or essays years ago

[@user-on6db4rf4s]

​@@michaelmcdonagh5104he liked drinking, but he was not an alcoholic and would get worried for friends that he thought were overdoing it. When his health started to decline he would willingly admit himself to sanitoriums, take his drs advice and subject himself to all sorts of treatments- including abstaining from alcohol. He didn't like it and would complain about it to one of his friends- Rostropovich if I'm not wrong- saying that being dry was draining him of inspiration. But he still did it a couple times regardless. One of the myths/half truths of Shostakovich- he was probably never actively suicidal. Suicide idealisation, probably, during one of Zhadanov's smear campaigns, around the writing of the 8th string quartet- but the only person who claimed he attempted suicide was Led Lebynsky, who turned out to be secret police himself and also fell out with Shost in later years. Shostakovich was actively seeking treatment when his health started to decline, and said he planned to live a hundred more years on a trip to the US, full of hope for a cure for his motor issues (diagnosed as poliomyelitis then, but possibly ALS). Sadly drs in US couldn't cure him. He accepted it stoically. I don't think he was a bad person. Just a coward-ish. He didn't want to fight against the regime and thought it was hopeless and pointless to do so, especially as he got older. He thought that his job as a composer was to write. When he was younger he wanted to toe the line as much as possible because he wanted to be part of soviet culture- he loved his country and his people, wanted to be part of them. even when the regime didn't like his composing. That's why he never defected. Sources: Shostakovich, a life by Laura Fey
