Shostakovich Quartet
Svetlanov was born in Moscow and studied conducting with Aleksandr Gauk at the Moscow Conservatory. From 1955 he conducted at the Bolshoi Theatre, being appointed principal conductor there in 1962. From 1965 he was principal conductor of the USSR State Symphony Orchestra (now the Russian State Symphony Orchestra). In 1979 he was appointed principal guest conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. Svetlanov was also music director of the Residentie Orchestra (The Hague) from 1992 to 2000 and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1997 to 1999.
In 2000 Svetlanov was fired from his post with the Russian State Symphony Orchestra by the minister of culture of Russia, Mikhail Shvydkoi. The reason given was that Svetlanov was spending too much time conducting abroad and not enough time in Moscow.
Svetlanov was particularly noted for his interpretations of Russian works - he covered the whole range of Russian music, from Mikhail Glinka to the present day. He was also one of the few Russian conductors to conduct the entire symphonic output of Gustav Mahler.
His own compositions included a String Quartet (1948), Daugava, Symphonic Poem (1952), Siberian Fantasy for Orchestra, Op. 9 (1953), Images d'Espagne, Rhapsody for orchestra (1954), Symphony (1956), Festive Poem (1953), Russian Variations for harp and orchestra (1975), Piano Concerto in c minor (1976) and Poem for Violin and Orchestra "To the Memory of David Oistrakh" (1975). He composed Siberian Fantasy in 1953/54, in collaboration with Igor Yakushenko [1932-1999].
Svetlanov was also an extremely competent pianist, three notable recordings being Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Trio No. 2 in D minor and Cello Sonata op. 19, and a disc of Nikolai Medtner's piano music. - Hudba
Wow, I did not know Svetlanov as a composer, this is really good just from the first few bars
Complex, dense and Wondrous.....Wow!
Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieses neoklassischen und perfekt komponierten Streichquartetts in verschiedenen Tempi mit seidigen doch gut phrasierten Tönen zweier Violinen, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violoncellos. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt beruhigend. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrhaft eindrucksvoll. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
Très intéressant ! Merci pour cette découverte. La musique néoclassique que j’aime.
Reminds me of the earlier Shostakovich quartets, really reminded me of the 3rd one.
Really does seem right out of early Shostakovich play book. #2,#3,#5. But Hell, it's still good.
Потрясающе,а какое звучание! Спасибо огромное.
So charming!!
Замечательная музыка прекрасного композитора!
Thank you! Great!
danke und alles bestens
This piece in the last movement reminds me of stravinsky's petrushka
Ah, el contraste! La belleza y los tiempos sombríos!
Красота всегда рождается в мрачные времена!
This was a marvel of composition. Somehow, I find myself wishing that some enterprising pianist (Alexander Malofeev, for example) would manage to create a piano reduction of this and play it for us.
It reminds me of the Ravel's quartet
Ravels is -- surely? -- less dissonant. But I love the Ravel and also this very Russian Quartet.
He's enjoyable, but his one idea seems to be abrupt key changes. Although, it's fair to consider this was written by a 20 year old!
Where do you have the Score from? Big fan of his music 😍
ur mum
I thought music was supposed to be messy in 1947! Ironically, they do the very same thing with the ‘canon’ as they blame their ‘too conservative’ counterparts for.
Who's "they"?
@@ryanpmcguire it's funny how you talk to me like you think I haven't spent 50 years obsessed with and studying music. It's, in fact, people like you who turn music needlessly political.
You're apparently unaware that this is music of a Soviet composer writing in the 1940s in a style that was in fact deliberately and consciously shaped by politics.
Last there is not a single educated person living who says the classical canon is "completely arbitrary, and only for political purposes". I doubt, in fact, you've even heard an uneducated person say something so absolute. Putting aside the fact that that statement is comically paradoxical, it's a strawman, and a stupid one, crafted evidently by someone who would prefer not to consider anything but his own stupidly regressive point of view.
I doubt you will ever contribute anything to music equal to the people you mock.
The "us versus them" toxic paradigm of the arts and the existence of mankind in general.
Were there any european composers like him after the war? Anyone know?
@@porkyminch5131 You mean tonal composers? Try Hovhaness for starters.
Oh my! Where did you take that score?
Year of recording?
Probably 1976
@@TheodoreServin Thanks
Where did you get the score from?
25:44
timestamp for the best climax part
27:28 Poulenc?
He should next time add some dynamics...
Next time? Svetlanov is long dead.
