I walways liked Much (which used to be on Channel 8 in Columbus) better
than MTV.  Makes me wish I owned the house I'm in so I could mount

Organization: University of Virginia
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 13:38:36 GMT


Greetings, shostakovich-heads. Its nice to see people actually posting to 
this newsgroup. Now my question: everyone who has mentioned a favorite
work so far has mentioned a symphony. Does no-one out there like dds's
concertos. Has no-one heard them? I guess im jjust biased toward the
concertos becuase I like the concerto as a form better than the symphony.

Anyway, my favorite shostakovich piece (so far) is the A minor violin
concerto, Op. 99. This was written during one of the times when dds was
writing pieces with 'socialist realism', so it was kept secret for a while
before being released (with an artificially high opus number, I believe
it was originally op.75). The only recording Ive heard of it features
Itzhak Perlman and the isreal philharmonic (EMI 7-49814) and it is
absolutely beautiful. The way the music goes from slow, introspective parts
into brash, almost absurdist orchestral parts is wonderful and smooth,
as much a tribute to mr Perlman and the isreal philharmonic as dds.
This disc also contains a violin concerto by Glazunov (also in Aminor) which
is, at least in comparison to dds's concerto, a snoozer (IMNSHO).

Anyone else there love concertos? I also like dds's second piano concerto,
with Maxim Sh. conducting I Musici Montreal with Dimitrii Sh. (Maxims
son) on piano, but the work doesnt have quite the driving force that the
violin concerto does, again IMNSHO.

You feel that the 6th is his first "bitter" symphony released to the
public.  You mean you don't feel that No.5 is bitter?  I sure do,
particularly movement 3.

Late in D.S.'s life he avoided questions concerning The Fifth, suggesting that

don't think the Fifth is bitter, but tragic.

I also like the 1st violin concerto very much. If possible, try getting a
recording with David Oistrah (sp? I'm not too sure of English translitter-
ations...). I have an EMI recording with him and (I think) Maxim S. con-
ducting together with the 1st 'cello concerto played by Paul Tortellier
(not a very good performance, I'm afraid...). Anyway, the way Oistrah shapes
the work is simply stunning! I think both violin concertos were originally
dedicated to him.

I also like the 1st piano concerto (a very nice musical joke) and both
'cello concertos. 2nd piano and violin concertos IMHO are some of DS's
more forgettable works, alas.

The 10th is supposed to be a portrait of Stalin?  I've never heard this
before.  Did you find this comment in liner notes somewhere?  From most
of the literature that I've read so far, I gathered that at that point
in his career he was pretty well soured on the Soviet political system.

Subject: ... and don't forget the quartets!!
Date: 20 Aug 92 18:08:21 GMT
Organization: U of Wisconsin CS Dept

I bought a few of the symphonies a couple years ago.  But it wasn't
until I started in on the quartets that I really fell for the guy.
These are some of the most amazing pieces of music I know.  You all 
talk about the way you can relate to the symphonies when you're down
or need some inspiration.  Well for me the quartets work the same way
except on a smaller scale.  Instead of a whole room of people shouting
out, "Come on, you can do it!" there's only four of them.  And the
voices go from a whisper to a scream; bliss to sadness.  

I decided to explore the quartets because the Borodin Quartet was comming to
Madison to give a concert the second half of which was his 15th (last) quartet.
This quartet is about death.  Six movements, all marked adagio except one which
is molto adagio.  And long.  About 40 minutes.  Before the piece started every
light in the hall went off.  Then they came out in darkness and each lit two
candles on the sides of their music stands, and played the whole thing by
candlelight.  I get goose bumps just remembering it.  Sigh...

If you're interested in getting some of the music I'd suggest going 
with the Borodin's traversal for EMI.  The 15 quartets fit on six discs
and you also get the totally amazing piano quintet (written before
any of the quartets, which weren't started until after the 8th
symphony [I think]) with Richter.   The disk with 7, 8, and the Piano
Quintet is actually a great place to start.  8 (and 7 too, to a slightly
lesser extent) show the personal side.  The quintet is full of humor and
hints at some of the anger and fear that later symphonies would bring
out so well.  My other favorite disk has 4, 6, and 11.  Just totally 
amazing works.  Of course eventually you'll want to get all of them!

Happy listening!

Christopher

PS:  I'll give a hearty second to the plug for Ian MacDonald's book.
It's a great was to get to know dsch.   It also gives lots of insights
into the music.

I've heart both Oistrah and Mulova's version of VC1, and I clearly prefer
Mulova, it was more lyric, more living. Oistrah had some strange tempi
some times, but I had not a chance to verify with the scores.
(it's my taste - it's not a law).

Oh yes.. I remember I first 'latched' onto the tenth at a particularlly
awful time in my life, and since then I sit and listen to it when I
need inspiration or comforting...

Also I listen to his music (say 15th etc) and think "look at what this
man has gone through in his life, and yet he writes such wonderful
music.." etc etc. Helps bring a sense of reality and perspective
to my life sometimes.

And of course.. the music is brilliant!!!

I read somewhere that he was very interested in Mahler just about the time
he composed the 4th symphony (incidentally, how come only those preferring
it over the others seem to be writing here nowadays :-)). Never thought of
Lady Macbeth as a Mahlerian work, though... I guess I must listen through
it again one of these evenings!

As for a clear Mahler reference, how about the beginning of the finale of
the 4th? Not too unlike the 3rd movement of Mahler's 1st, IMHO. Beats me,
however, how the ending reminds you of Mahler's 8th. Care to elaborate?

However, I think the fifth is very Mahlerian in spirit, if not in the
musical style... I always thought (really, before the 'Testimony' even!)
the scherzo and the finale as very ironical pieces.
