Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz No. 2

"Waltz No. 2" (also known as "Russian Waltz" and "Composition 99") is a Soviet waltz composed by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1938.
Feel the spirit of the Soviet 1930s - the prewar decade, a time of mass urbanization and the rapid industrialization of the Soviet economy. I think this waltz fits it perfectly, even though it was composed around the end of the decade. So I decided to use footage from that time. (I also upscaled it with AI)

Одно из самых любимых классических произведений. Услышал его в первый раз в прошлом году, перед поездкой в Петербург, теперь учусь там и эта музыка для меня неразрывно связана с Ленинградом... Шостакович - гений своего времени!

Dmitri Shostakovich is my favorite composer. This music is magical!😌

My father was a musician in Stalingrad. During the German occupation, the sound of his violin filled the air with magnificent music - Korsakov, Stasov - many of the great nationalist composers. To my countrymen, it was a symbol of hope. To the Germans, it was a symbol of defiance. Even now, his music still haunts me. The Nazis slit his throat while he slept. Collaborating with any Nazi is a betrayal, a betrayal against all of Mother Russia. Dragovich and Kravchenko were not troubled by such matters. They looked only to advance towards their own interests and agendas...

Desde que la escuché por primera vez, sentí que ha resonado siempre en la memoria del mundo. Eterno, poderoso y vital Shostakovich.

Ngl, the "excesses of Stalinism" actually built beautiful buildings.

[cancionesosvieticasenespañol]

es una obra maravillosa, es la cúspide de la música clásica. Demuestra el poder cultural del imperio ruso y de la unión de repúblicas socialistas soviéticas. Su instrumental es tan hermosa que no cabe en mi cabeza de tanta hermosura, más la parte video producida que me mete de lleno a la obra, es la representación del arte en su más suma magnificiencia. Desde los 6 que la escucho frecuentemente en disco y todavía me sigue cautivando como el primer día.

parece mas tipico de la epoca de nikolai ii que de la unión soviética wtf

[jonathanjonathan]

feels nostalgic to see the glory and pride of the USSR, sad to compare it to the degeneracy, corruption and gangsterism post gorbachev

[felipe]

Shostakovich and Stalin hated each other. This music was composed (of low quality compared to symphonies, for example) by Shostakovich because his style was seen as formalist and against the people
