Timpani solo at 4.25... Just amazing, simply wonderful. I always get a shiver down my spine. How I'd love to be the Timpanist hitting te hell out of those Timps!
When I heard this song for the first time, I broke down in tears because it was so beautiful. I've been a Mahler fan ever since. Bravo! Excellent performance!
The coda, which is in E major, announces the principal motif of the final movement, its sudden modulation unleashing the symphony's only genuinely loud tutti and throwing open the gates of perhaps the only paradise accessible to the living: the naive paradise of childhood and popular imagery.
totally agree, but to me, the whole symphony is too beautiful to listen just part of it. Everytime I heard this, like I totally awake and highest emotion, I'm escaping....
from 4:10 to the end is unbelievable, I call this self-awekening and self-confession moment. Bernstein conducted extreme emotionally. Can die to listen to this symphony live
Listen to those final aching chord changes... the sorrow, the yearning is like nothing else in music... and yet Mahler's great humility transforms those feelings into a state of utmost blessedness.
"The only wisdom we can hope to acquire
Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless." - T.S. Eliot
peaceful easy feeling is what you get in this adagio, one of the true treasures from all of Mahler's 9 symphonies movements, Bernstein knew how Mahler wanted to be played this gem and the Vienna philarmonic extraordinary as always
This is one of my favourites Mahler's adagios, too relaxing, gives me good remembers, a bit unstable(some parts sad and others full joy)but very beautiful.
Mahler & Bernstein: un binomio fantastico! Uno dei massimi interpreti con Walter, Kubelik, Solti,
Tennstedt, Inbal e Rattle, di questo autore. Eccellente, "scuola viennese", il timpanista!

The climax at 4:13 reminds me of wallace and gromit the wrong trousers when wallace catches feathers mcgraw in a milk bottle.

Though difficult to hear in this recording, those glissandi are some of the most precious moments in music history <3

Mahler was quoted as saying "The best things in music, are not to be found in the notes". I think that speaks for itself with this symphony.
