Perhaps THE best version of the huge bassoon solo I’ve heard. I’ve played this killer several times. Theo Platt gives this a loneliness and sense of haunting I’ve heard nowhere else.
What a great 'little' symphony and what a performance - the principal clarinettist, principal flautist and, of course, the principal bassoonist are just magnificent. I've loved Shostakovich for years and have always considered this a lesser symphony but when you hear it played like this you just have to marvel at the man - he was a wonder!
I think this was first time listening to this symphony carefully--it really grabbed by attention with its use of woodwinds and brass, especially with solos and duets. Well played! A delightful experience.
Probabilmente la migliore esecuzione della 9 di Shosty. Grande direttore ha capito "la storia" e l'ironia. Superbo e assoluto il fagottist , meravigliosi il piccolo , il flute della grande Clara , il magnifico trombone preciso e deciso , la tuba suona davvero , bene le trombe e i corni e , come al solito , grandiosi gli archi e il I°vl. Bravi bravi bravi ! Dopo questa esecuzione , segnalo R.Barshai e la Giovanile di Israele , anche loro hanno capito l'amara ironia di Shostakovich . Grazie a questi Signori Musicisti.
This is a great symphony, and perhaps even more impressive for its change of pace from his previous symphonies. And it's a great performance, needless to say, from the FRSO.
Creo que al primer movimiento le falta lo que el mismo Shostakovich comentaba mientras presenciaba los ensayos previos al estreno por Mravinsky: "Eso es, circo, ¡más circo!" Del 19:25 al 19:45, durante el solo de fagot, podemos ver como la gran Clara Andrada, siempre tan expresiva y concentrada, tiene cara de estar tocando la flauta incluso cuando no toca la flauta ;D

damn they have a new bassoonist it seems like. A young good one!
Theo Plath is just a beast, he also won 3rd prize in the ARD competition. You should check out a video where he plays Paganini's Caprice n°5 with double tonguing and circular breathing
Shostakovich for ever. One of my favourite symphony moments is those strings moving up and down in 3/4 in the 2nd movement and the hobo coming in. Just heavenly...
Fagottisten bei HR sind immer Weltklasse gewesen!Und jetzt mit Theo Tradition geht weiter, es ist immer ein Vergnügen!Gratuliere, einfach fantastisch!!LG aus Wien
And rappers think they are though, shostakovich’s opps were stalin and his commie guys, imagine having beef with a fkn dictator ahahahaha what a true chad
Man beachte das prӓchtige Klarinettensolo am Anfang des 2. Satzes (6.22) und nachfolgende "behutsame Schritte der Streicher" (8.43) - alles in allem ein bedeutsames Werk des russischen Klassikers.
Vedo scritto apprezzamento...anche suggerimenti... più fedeltà alla partitura...meno sarcasmo (?)...meno veloce il primo movimento... Ogni direttore ha il proprio modo...Collon è giovane... vorrà interpretare in modo vivace...e, immagino, attualizzando...
es apropósito, el partido comunista esperaba una gran 9a sinfonía, como Beethoven, Shosty hizo una 9a de juguete para desafiarlos y para desafiar el mito de que después de la 9a el compositor se muere, asi que la hizo rápido, para comenzar la 10ma, que es la que seguro esperabas oir en lugar de esta. Dicho chistesito le costó muy caro porque todos los del partido estaban muy molesto, pero Stalin admiraba a Shostakovich, nunca lo pudo mandar matar.
The concept of the first movement, in particular, is not very clearly set out. The last movement is played very well, though. And all the soloists are superb.
Wonderful performance! Could the orchestra soon record Philip Glass's ninth symphony? It's unfortunate that there's barely any contemporary classical music on this channel - it would be marvellous if they could.
I agree!!! There's not a single complete recording of a Glass symphony performance anywhere. This channel seems to be smashing performances daily but I wonder when they'll have the courage to do Glass.
I explain the technicalities but it sounds like some purists do not listen for the artistry and are not having as much fun with the extremities going on in this music, it is though a masterpiece of in key sequence :->) Listen to the music not your brain. The waving armsman is having as much fun as me and the orchestra, we know what music is for, amusement.
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser etwas parodischen Sinfonie mit farbenreichen und klar artikulierten Töne aller Instrumente. Die Virtuosität aller Einzelspieler ist erstaunlich hoch. Der zweite Satz klingt ein bisschen mysteriös und echt bezaubernd. Der geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Wunderbar!
