Are we not gonna address the fact that Harry Potter and Comrade Mario managed to capture the essence and raw emotion of Shostakovich 5 with two melodicas?
@@cheetahman515Bro.. Its your statement that looks dumb tho. The first person definitely knew that they tried to imitate stalin but wrote mario instead just for satire. I dont know what to say other than r/woosh
In USSR version pokemon, a player who used Meowth's "Pay Day (ネコこばん coin for a cat, in Japanese)" will be executed or sent to Siberia, because it's capitalistic?
Bernstein´s recording is one of the worst imo. Completely loses the the subtleties of the piece in favor of just speed and chaos. Even the performance of the orchestra itself is severely lacking with bad intonation and things. The 2014 recording with London symphony orchestra and I think it was Maxim Shostakovich conducting is way better imo.
Replace Voldemort with Stalin and you've got essentially a heavily stylized version of what basically happened Ron could be Prokofiev, but he dies at the end
I'm 日本人 I was surprised that this video was uploaded on the day that I went to a concert where Gergiev played Shostakovich 5. Melodica sounds like an orchestra !!
I think the best part about these videos is just how much these 2 love doing it They both always seem to have a good time playing random songs in the blow piano
Shostakovich is actually a relatively popular 20th century composer and his 5th symphony is arguably his most popular and easily listenable composition...
We played this as our college football band halftime entrance, though with consistent tempo. And, of course, very heavy on the low brass. It was really satisfying to play.
This is utterly, utterly brilliant! I am so glad I watched to the very end. Youse guys made me laugh out loud, laugh out loud! Not to mention that your musicality is deep, wise, and wonderful.
This is awesome. I am so happy that I could read the Cyrillic title symphony No 5! I have been studying Russian and finally got to the point I can fluently read/write/speak it. Awesome video as always guys!!
Grant Darnell It's a forced finale with a mocking tone at times, the dissonance throughout the movement adds to the feeling of something not being right as if the orchestra and music is being forced, much like a forced march. Shostakovich did this as a sort of hidden protest against soviet oppression and censor and is lucky the Soviets didn't see that or he would've been disappeared.
Is there any actual evidence that he wrote it as a "hidden protest?" Like I get that it's a nice idea and there was that book that claimed all those things, but I'm pretty sure it's been thoroughly discredited since then. Also like that would be monumentally stupid, considering he had relatively recently pulled his 4th symphony (a far more avant-garde work) from its premier because of its modernist qualities.
@@trombonegamer14 Really. I think it's a great disservice to musicology that anti-Soviet takes of music are seemingly accepted without a whiff of evidence. While I understand that it supports the governing regime, these sorts of takes (when unsupported) completely undermine the field of study if it turns out to be nothing but propaganda.
I’ve played this severe times and there’s something like 288 high As at the end as a statement of your business is rejoicing it’s intense and always fun and emotional you guys rock this is the best version I’ve seen yet.
Got to play this piece last year in youth symphony and it was probably the most wonderful thing to be sitting in the middle of an orchestra snd to hear this
This Stalin looks just like evil Mario
Piotr Ponewczyński wario
Waluigi
Stalin is basically evil mario
All stalin looks like evil mario
WALUIGIII!
Are we not gonna address the fact that Harry Potter and Comrade Mario managed to capture the essence and raw emotion of Shostakovich 5 with two melodicas?
You mean how this video embodies at least as much interest and bravado as lots of major motion pictures?
astounding
Average American statement (that is Lenin and Stalin (I think its lenin))
@@cheetahman515Bro.. Its your statement that looks dumb tho. The first person definitely knew that they tried to imitate stalin but wrote mario instead just for satire.
I dont know what to say other than r/woosh
Pretty sure the *harry potter* is meant to be the composer Shostakovich lol
Hope some day we'll see the 7th 'Leningrad' Symphony
Piotr Ponewczyński i would absolutely loose my mind
7th, first movement Invasion March climax
10th second movement
11th second movement fugue
or even his 8th string quartet
So much to choose from Dx
I think it won't be so interesting
Yes, in full length!
I think it would end with both of them passed out on the floor!
This sounds like an intense Pokémon battle.
No its the russian version
Shostakovich:
- Hold my music sheets.
In USSR version pokemon, a player who used Meowth's "Pay Day (ネコこばん coin for a cat, in Japanese)" will be executed or sent to Siberia, because it's capitalistic?
If Pokemon was slav yeah!😆
わかる
ロシアの曲をハーモニカで弾いたとたんにものすごいゲーム感
Shostakovich: *Makes fun of Stalin*
Stalin: This man is going to die.
Also Stalin: *Dies himeself*
Shostakovich:
This is basically why Shosty wrote the Festive Overture.
@@farlado5459 Hence the satirical dies irae found throught ze piece
Everyone else on CZcams: happy thanksgiving
Melodica Men: Ussr noises
I think Shostakovich's music is a little more than USSR noises.
@@ivansudakov6877 I think you are overthinking a joke.
@@WiseRomanEmperor I simply don't like jokes that set American culture above Russian culture.
@@ivansudakov6877 How do you know this guy is American, he could be Russian for all you know.
Ivan Sudakov You know there’s quite a few other countries they could be from, right? The world isn’t just the U.S. and Russia.
Flag store owner: so may I ask why you are buying this Soviet flag?
Melodica Men: ...It's complicated
Not to mention the costume store
Um... CHROMA KEY?
I wouldn’t have the courage to buy one of these lol
Imagine someone walking in on them in the middle of this...
*Our* goals are beyond your understanding
This adaptation puts even Bernstein to shame.
Wow.
I don’t know about that...
I hope you guys realize that I'm just kidding when I say this
Lmaooo

*WELODICA*
Could the comments please not use the same 10 Soviet jokes, I think we've all heard them all, they get old really fast.
i think you mean "мыlodica"
How about just Soviet Air Piano?
Nintendo: We need some new music for the next Mario game.
Melodica Men:
Nintendo: Seize the means of their production.
You're a composer, Dmitri !
Advaith Bala HAHAHAHAHA
Replace Voldemort with Stalin and you've got essentially a heavily stylized version of what basically happened
Ron could be Prokofiev, but he dies at the end
Bravo! 😄
Let's make Soviet Harry potter a thing!
Yes Reznov!
オーケストラ聴いている満足感がある。

@@jasonrich4940 Yeah, but the oppresion meme was for Shostakovich's 11 tho xD
Wow... a Timpani-melodica!

Mark Juarez what you talkin bout? TOTALLY timpani melodica
I’d kill for a timpani-melodica

すだめ What
Exactly one word was readable

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these 2 characters.
NATO: They're the same character.
Джентльмены, спасибо! Это самое выдающееся Аллегро нон троппо 5-й симфонии, которое мне доводилось слышать!!))))) LIKE!
Хорошо они сатиру на Сталина показали.
この度も全力で楽しんでいらっしゃるようでなにより。
Shostakovich’s 8th String Quartet please Oh my gulag
Horror movie music on melodica
Yes! A thousand times yes!
I will literally pay you
I wanted to like this, then I noticed I already liked it.
いつの間にかこの2人推してる
I think the best part about these videos is just how much these 2 love doing it
They both always seem to have a good time playing random songs in the blow piano
Отличная концепция клипа. потрясающее чувство юмора: "Единицын" и Шостакович играют 5 симфонию. Это дорогого стоит. Благодарю!
後ろの旗買う時変な目で見られそうw
Comrade Mustache staring at the camera and tweaking his eyebrows definitely improved this quality rendition of solid Russian music.
3:08:
Мьı любим / наших / покровителей!
We love / our / patrons!
Finaly a kind person who translate it
This sounds like if Soviet Russia was a MegaMan-style platformer and Stalin was the final boss.
I absolutely adore it.
The player is Shostakovich
Shostakovich is one of the only symphonists, who made classical music that I actually enjoy listening to. The cover of you guys is great!
Fantastic to adapt this amazing piece! People usually don’t know Shostakovich and even less the 5th Symphony. Congrats
No, many do
Shostakovich is actually a relatively popular 20th century composer and his 5th symphony is arguably his most popular and easily listenable composition...
Jean-Christophe de Vries yeah dude this is his most famous symphony what’s up with you
One of his most popular works...
スターリン激似で草
Спасибо за вашу замечательную работу!
Great, now I have to go listen to Phantom Regiment 1996.
that's a good problem to have.
@@ursamajor4684 Can't argue there. It's a very good problem to have.
On my way
You guys are weird.
There’s nothing wrong with that.
They're normal, everyone else is weird.
I don’t think that’s it.
Tegan Bigone I agree
You guys make me so happy, you play with such joy and passion and it warms my heart.
Thank you.
毎回の動画、楽しんでおります！今回のは本当にクオリティ高くて高くて…本当にすごい…日本から応援してます！
You guys outdid yourself again!! Costumes are on point and the playing is phenomenal! Great to see more classical!
We played this as our college football band halftime entrance, though with consistent tempo. And, of course, very heavy on the low brass. It was really satisfying to play.
めっちゃかっこいい〜！
感動しました！😭
ショスタコの名曲を鍵盤ハーモニカでアレンジするの凄すぎん？？
thank you！💕
演奏の技術も物凄いんだけれど、
表情が何よりかわいい！
ずっと見てたくなります☺️
ピアニカの演奏レベルじゃない笑
Shostakovich 10 pleaseeee
The allegro movement, just imagine their faces when they finish it :)
YES OMG
YESSSSSSSSS PLEASEEE
I need it now!!!
@@miladeskandari7 with the full viola solo ofc
Wow. This is one of my all time favorite symphonies. This is an unbelievable performance! Bravissimo!
i saw this video in my subscription and i have never gasped louder
この人たちを見るとピアニカもバカにできない楽器……
革命的ですねえ
Music genius & fun!!! Love Shostakovich! 🖤🎼🎵🎶
Absolutely Brilliant!!!love the facial expressions!!!
Love this movement and this version is absolutely perfect🖤
Wow...you two are really great!
Ironic bc shostakovich spent a good amount of his composing life taking the piss out of the ussr and barely avoiding death
Well, it did say "Shostakovich vs Stalin" at the beginning.
Fantastic! Perhaps after the laughter you should have broken down in tears.
This is utterly, utterly brilliant! I am so glad I watched to the very end. Youse guys made me laugh out loud, laugh out loud! Not to mention that your musicality is deep, wise, and wonderful.
この曲は
『強制された歓喜』でしたっけ。
圧政への抗いを表現したとか
大事なティンパニーはしっかり再現されてて
相変わらずの鬼鍵盤ハーモニカですが
死ぬほど楽しそうで大好きです❤
たしか、曲名は(革命)じゃなかったですかね?
@@user-pc3rf1pr9v さん
はい、曲名は『革命』です。
テーマが "強制された歓喜" だったと思います。
旧ソビエト連邦の、共産主義への反抗心が込められてると見たことがあります。
ショスタコ本人はずっとソビエトに居て作曲していたわけで、音楽なんかちっとも分かんない共産党の幹部に意味不明なダメ出しをくらい続けてさんざん「自己批判」させられたりしてウンザリする中、見返すために死ぬ思いで作曲してようやく共産党にも認めさせることができたのがこの曲。表向きは「革命」とタイトルをつけ、ソビエト共産主義革命の勝利を高々と歌い上げた曲と言っていた。「強制された歓喜」なんて口が裂けても死ぬまで言ってない。
後の彼の研究者が「きっとそういう意味を込めていたんでしょう」と言ってるだけなんだけど、説得力ある話とされています。
はい、本人がそのように言ったとは
私も思えません。時代も国も。
難しいことはよくわかりませんが
音を聞いていると、単なる"革命"でくくるには
暗い奥行きがあると、私個人が感じました。
その研究者さんのおっしゃることが、しっくりきます。
@@user-dn6gz8ob3b そうですね。ベートーベンの運命と同じです。非公式ですが副題としては「正当な批判に対するある芸術家の創造的回答」というのがありますよ。
Brilliant stuff, comrades! I appreciated seeing the subtitles during the triumphant finale.
演奏も凄いけど毎回凝ってるコスプレが好き
The harmonic pivot you make to transition to the finale is BREATHTAKING!
この曲やるとは思わなかったｗ
With a thumbnail like that, how could I not watch
I love your work, you make the world a better place.
This is brilliant. You guys are excellent musicians!!
Shostakovich is Harry Potter and Stalin is Wario, I think....
Great battle 🌟👌🏼
I love it when you guys do the classical pieces. I see you did the happy ending.
高校の時に吹奏楽部で演奏しました。大好きな思い出の曲をお二人の演奏で聴けて嬉しいです！
Excellent choice, my favorite symphony.
音がぴったり合ってて気持ちいい！どうやって合わせてるんだろ…
文字通り、息ぴったりすぎる
部活でティンパニソロやらされた曲！！！！！
This is awesome. I am so happy that I could read the Cyrillic title symphony No 5! I have been studying Russian and finally got to the point I can fluently read/write/speak it. Awesome video as always guys!!

Thank God they understood the point of the finale

素晴らしすぎて👏生で聴きたかった、、
なんの曲か詳しく分からんけど、楽しそうでなによりです。
お見事です！大好き！！
タンギングやべぇなぁ…
Love Shostakovich and it's too cool😍
I can watch this video 1000 times!
Awesome! We were studying this in the music class lately, nice to hear this again
And for the season, I suggest Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. With the guys wearing tutus.
Hope we also see the 11th symphony, mostly the part of “January the ninth”
Masterful segue from the opening to the coda. Masterful everything, tbh.
I love Shosta ! This cover of the fifth is brilliant !!
Stalin would have loved it. Not formalist at all.
Waiting for The Pines of Rome by Respighi
Awesome as usual!
There's a four hand reduction of Le Sacre...
Andrew Beals they already did rite of spring.
So TALENTED ❤️❤️❤️ and Entertaining🎉🎉🎉
The glasses are perfect!
Guys you already did Dance of knights?
Lol I just got my part for Shostakovich 5 for concert season XD
Carrot Senpai Good luck, and you’re so lucky! What do you play?
