Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4561763, member: 10461"]I once spent an entire night listening to this melancholy and beautiful piece on repeat.  In the video, the editor looped the short Shostakovich suite (which is only 3+ minutes long, I think) into an hour-long video.  I repeated that several times, well into the wee hours. I like melancholy music, and nobody does melancholy like the Russians.  This one has bright spots, too, however.  I imagine people ice skating to it. [MEDIA=youtube]LPG_WUgHbis[/MEDIA] It was my first discovery of Shostakovich, of whom I had heard but had never listened to.  When something resonates with me, I'll listen to it for a day or two on end. This was a rare like from me in that my Classical tastes run much earlier, usually to the Baroque era.  I typically do not much care for 20th century composers except Aaron Copland, and some Spanish ones.[/QUOTE]
