Beautifully done by the musicians of SWR Symphony Orchestra under Maestro Teodor Currentzis! Bravo Tutti! I especially love the sound of the percussion section!
An astoundingly clear recording and beautifully paced (excitingly quick in some parts of mvt 1). Audience should check their airways before leaving the house, in my opinion, and stay home if you're going to as much as breathe loudly.
I don't know if you take requests, but I would be very interested in seeing a score video of Currentzis' recording of Shostakovich 14 and would be curious to know if you could make such a video.
No, they aren’t. From the score’s appendix: “In Symphony No. 7, the bow stroke marks in the autograph generally do not match those in the published scores. All changes to the bowings were made by the editor in the proof-sheets of the first edition.“ (Collected Works Vol. 4, State Publishers “Muzyka”, Moscow 1981)
The wikipedia article says this symphony is scored for 8 horns, 6 trumpets, and 6 trombones. Why use a reduced version for the score? So disappointing...
@@itznoxy7193 Correction: They are not offstage parts. For example, they play at 15:30. So in the preamble to the score, this is referred to as “an additional group of brass”, but I could not find any reference to it as a “Fernorchester” (playing at distance), as suggested by the German Wikipedia article. In the SWR recording, the additional brass players sit next to the others.
Currentzis needs to leave his affects behind and stick to conducting actual music. His Beethoven sounds like Shostakovich and vice versa (though I appreciate a faster tempo here).
I. Allegretto 0:00:01
II. Moderato (poco allegretto) 0:27:53

Shostakovich + Currentzis is a match made in heaven, thank you for putting this together!

An undoubtedly excellent live performance ruined by the audience's "airways"!...
Thank you! Such a nice quality, I've searched all over and couldn't find a score with good graphics
You’re welcome!
That chord at 4:40
🤤

Fast paced. But sharp.
Are the bow direction markings by Shostakovich?
No, they aren’t. From the score’s appendix: “In Symphony No. 7, the bow stroke marks in the autograph generally do not match those in the published scores.

@@symphoniacus Thanks!

One half of the brass is only for the offstage parts.
@@symphoniacus Thanks for the reply. Didn't realize that. Can you timestamp the parts in the score?
