Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, First Movement — led by conductor Stéphane Denève and performed by the New World Symphony in October 2024. From the very first measures, the Symphony sets an ominous tone. The strings introduce three key gestures: a leaping figure with a sharp dotted rhythm, a series of descending sigh-like fragments, and a final motif of three repeated notes — all of which shape the movement ahead. 🎻 Watch the full performance now on YouTube: bit.ly/42m0Pd6 ________ Sinfonía N.º

OUT NOW on YouTube: Enjoy this rare live performance of our song „Beautiful“ shot in 2010 at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki! You can also find the song on our „7th symphony“ album. Re-print (CD/Vinyl) available now! Fun fact: We wanted to release this material so badly and show it to you guys, but really had to search for the DVD on which it was originally released in our homes. Thankfully, Perttu is organized and found it! 🤪 #Apocalyptica #CelloMetal #CelloMusic #SymphonicMetal #Metal #Helsi
