Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr As in the 7th symphony, the 1st movement, Adagio - Allegro non troppo is of unusual breadth and length (longer than the 2nd, 3rd and 4th movements put together) and once again, close to the Mahlerian example. It opens with a tense and dramatic motif in the strings. This is no mere facile sentiment, but conveys an emotional sincerity which touches the listener deeply. In the development which follows, the melodic line is often dissonant and dramatic differences in dynamic are avoided. It develops in stages, the strings remain dominant with the same distant/close-to effects that have been observed as early as the 4th symphony. The wind enter progressively and a build-up puctuated by snare drums and timpani leads to a climax which then disintegrates. An accelerating cavalcade on horn and xylophone leads to another, far more violent and wild climax which ends with clamorous brass over dull rumblings of percussion. This quickly fades away into an atmosphere of depression. There follows a long oboe solo over a tissue of sound, first distant, then close-to, woven by the strings. Threatening alarms herald the return of the opening motif, then equilibrium returns and distant strings lead to silence. The 2nd movement, Allegretto, begins in vigorous march rhythm, similar to the second movement of the 5th symphony, more ironic in spirit than truly sarcastic, with an oafish bassoon and chirruping piccolo. The ensuing upsurge is intended as an authoritative state ment, undermined by the dislocated rhythm and sudden conclusion. The Allegro non Troppo which follows takes up the jerky rhythm in the strings with ludicrous interruptions from the piccolo. The rhythm becomes increasingly unbalanced and the piccolo motif invades the entire orchestra. A grotesque, exaggerated fanfare is heard lea ding to a climactic fortissimo, the most violent in the entire work, punctuated by the tomtom. The agitation slowly dies away and ends with distant strings creating a gossamer web of sound. The 4th movement, Largo, begins with a flute solo which is taken up by a clarinet. The atmosphere is cold, wintery and once again, far-away. This is yet another impressive passage, which paradoxically, is "closed" in a manner of speaking by the effect of spatialization. A lively theme opens the 5th movement, Allegretto. As before, the composer avoids using dynamics to obtain an effect. The atmosphere is relaxed, almost serene, the development, long. A dialogue, devoid of aggression, takes place between the wind. The tension increases, an ironic note is sounded, although any hint of excess is avoided. Once again, the strings dominate and this leads to another climactic fortissimo, as violent as it is brief. Calm is restored and several solos, variations on the initial theme from the 1st movement, lead into the conclusion with its impressive, barely audible, pianissimo effect. This is surely one of Shostakovich’s most impressive closing passages, demonstrating his astonishing mastery of orchestration.

If we note that this symphony was written in 1943, when the nazis invaded a great part of the USSR but were stopped at the gates of Moskaw and defeated in Stalingrad leaving millions of USSR civilians dead, we can think that is is perhaps the only one in which Shostakovich's mind and official musical policy were more or less on line - not speaking of the language itself, of course.

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser neoklassischen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der dritte Satz klingt echt lebhaft und auch bedrohlich. Im Kontrast klingt der vierte Satz echt kalt doch bezaubernd. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die vesbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Originalaufnahme von mehr als sechzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wundervoll!

This wonderful symphony got him sanctioned in 1948 - by 'the party' - thought police Zhadnov. The shrillness of the scoring in this is beyond good. The climax of the adagio in stanza 1 is beyond renown, and the English horn solo remains on my list of things to play on oboe to this day! MAESTRO!

Shostakovich very often quoted himself in his works, so it doesn't seem unlikely that this is a reference to the 7th.
@charmsword

There's lot of quotations from the 7th here. So called «Nazi attack» theme starts and immediately dies out in the very beginning in 0:58 and 4:00 and I believe you can find reminiscence of the «Soviet» theme somewhere as well. It is as both of them are now dying or dead on the battlefield, with no vitality left. Also Prokofiev's 8th Symphony starts as though it emerges right from the 1st part of Shostakovitch's 8th. Everything is so entangled here...
