Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 / Sokhiev · Berliner Philharmoniker 

Interesting conducting technique, I call it the landing strip

The way Sokhiev builds up tension with the insane tempo here and the fun the Philharmoniker have is simply breathtaking.

00:30 thats the dream. Playing a masterpiece smiling with the one of the best orchestras with the best friend, who also happens to be amazing.

I like this conducting technique. I think it really communicates to the musicians. His movements are really easy to understand and as result the orchestra feels secure and more free to enjoy the music and they certainly were! Awesome piece of music!

I love the gesture he gives Stefan Schulz. It's like the all-clear for bass carnage

+Torterra kart Yes, it is Wilfried Strehle. We are delighted to say that retired members of the orchestra usually remain in close touch and sometimes still perform in individual concert programmes.

1:55 I'm always so impressed seeing DBs play blistering fast sections, idk why. Visually looks impressive, and probably is harder then the cello which they so often double

Anyone else hear the little cry director at the 00:35 ? Wonderful concert , I love the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

00:30 those viola players seem really happy :D

At 2:02 you can actually see the conductor play a violin.

The trombone and tuba at 00:37 are awesome.

I love see people smiling in the audience, I love BPO so much!!

Trombon and tuba 00.38 perfect in all ... The best recorder , very very High level !!

A wonderful piece of music with a wonderful orchestra

Stefan Schulz is my Bass Trombone role model, can't get enough of him!

I thoroughly enjoyed the faster tempo on this piece. I've never actually heard it at this tempo and it seems to suit the piece well.

This is the gentlest sounding performance of this movement I've ever heard. It almost sounds more like Schubert's 5th Symphony

More bass trombone please :)

1:55 lol Another thought, I love the tuba in this piece because it's literally the greatest instrument known to mankind

That conducting style is hilariously satisfying to watch!

GABOR I LOVE YOU

Excellent music !

A great symphony indeed! Dmitri Shostakovich subtitled his Symphony no 5 'A Soviet's reply to just criticism' as an opera he wrote previously didn't go down at all well with the Soviet authorities & Joseph Stalin attended the premier & reportedly stormed out during the performance! The headlines the next day in the newspapers 'Chaos instead of music'! This particular symphony was written to get back into favour with the Soviet authorities & it worked & it was well received. I was hoping to hear the moment the tam-tam came in to relieve the tension in the final movement but there we are!

Wonderful music, wonderful ONCT!

La mejor versión de esta hermosa sinfonía!!!

This was the most fun piece I’ve played so far. The concert we were going to perform it for got canceled but we got a superior at the festival we were able to go to

Enjoyable watching this conductor. Quite different.

Why are musicians always grinning from ear to ear when playing Shostakovich?

Majesty densely concentrated on the staves. God bless

My favorite orchestra in the world

A melhor Orquestra Filarmônica do Mundo. BERLIM.

One of the best works of thè 20th century.

Brillante en música y orquesta.

Love how Amihai always smiling and having fun!

+Berliner Philarmoniker Is Wilfried Strehle playing here? I think I saw him at 2:12 but I thought he wasn't anymore in the orchestra

this is fantastic speed

Glorious.

2:00 horn！！！♡

They really set off at such a pace......

LEGENDARY!

I love the theatrics of the conductor😂 At 00:34 he looks at the brass and is like “Whatcha got? Who put you on the face of the earth?” (Sponge bob reference🤣) Then at 1:30 I’m pretty sure he’s playing fruit Ninja!!😂😂

Es una maravilla ❤

Holy moly...what a tempo!! Cool to see a conductor without a baton. It appears to me that Valery Gergiev and Tugan Sokhiev enjoyed the same conducting teacher.

Bravo

What´s the sound in 00:35 ??

Que felicidad ver a Amihai Grosz y Máté Szücs 3

Perfektes Tempo

0:30辺りで目配せしてニヤってしてるww

anyone else hear the creepy murmer at 0:35 ?

I wish Karajan recorded this sym.

Well, that's the first time I've seen the entire tromba section using 4 rotor horns. Interesting.

0:08 put in those earplugs Bassoons, because it’s gonna get pretty loud.

charlie sheen plays trombone?

54 people who pushed low rating became Siberian sending.

0:35 "slap"

I always hear a little Mahler 1 in this one... strange

0:36 hmmmmmmmmm

OK WHICH OF THEM FLUTIES IS PLAYING WRONG NOTES AT THE BEGINNING?????

さすがやん

1:01 やる気スイッチ

Mother 3

is this the best shostakovic sinfonie? A friend asked

Flutes and piccolos are so off pitch 1:59 :(

Esto es tan bueno como comer bolas broma

I prefer Yutaka sado’s version more. This performance is lacking quite a lot of things...

In 36 seconds, I hear a ghost.

This is a very good recording, but personally I think Bernstein conducting this sounds the best.

Mad Russian conductor, MAD 😆👏

Tugan Sokhiev does not have enough quality to conduct such prestigious orchestra as the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Too damned fast for the power within.

Too fast

очень плохо

A bit too quick for my taste.

That's one weird-ass composing style, Sokhiev...

Too fast.

Encore un qui dirige le nez dans la partition. Trop de concerts sans doute pour accéder à cette liberté sans la quelle il n'y a pas de transcendence car collé dans la matière. La matière, le cas échéant est très séduisante. Chacun fait ce qu'il sait très bien faire. La reproduction de son image et le narcissisme qui va avec. Mais où est le risque artistique de la découverte de ce que l'on sait pas encore? Des films en pagaille, combien de fois du Cinéma. Des concerts comme une autoroute... Ect.

Wow....worst conductor I haven't seen for a long time...

Honestly, I hate this symphony most...

Fine performance. Too bad Russian music got cancelled and we’re not supposed to like it anymore.

Not a good performance. Pass

Shostakovich's symphonies are overrated....
