Mahler 8 - Alles Vergaengliche (Chorus Mysticus)

[JustJim70118]

You are FABULOUS!

[obromrob]

Bravo!

[edgluhrs]

Solti, right?

[jsveiga]

The fun and joy you seem to get from classical music is contagious!! I wish you had a TV show or toured around the world with an orchestra teaching ppl about music and how to enjoy something (anything) so enthusiastically. Just bumped at your vids tonight; can't wait to show to my kids tomorrow. I know they'll love too!! You are a real ode to joy. Thanks.

[narutoluvr1]

I officially want to meet you.

[demha03]

me too!

[XxXmoonlightX44]

and me too

[BorisGodunov]

My third-favorite Mahler finale, after the 6th and 9th.  Bravo, bravo.

[georgesclaudius]

sublime!

[veloasang]

his emotion and expression surely beat those of Bernstein's. quite a precious moment to watch this video and make myself confirmed that 'music makes me high'

ps. it is Solti/CSO, i'll warrant

[orgelspielerkmd]

It is most definitely the Solti recording with the Vienna Boys Choir and CSO. At the final entrance of the "Alles Vergaengliche" the chorus begins to enter just a little bit before the very prominent organ, which has a distinctive quality about it (much more spiky than say the organ in the Rattle recording, which had an English one). Perhaps only an organist would recognize the difference of such details regarding the organs? Nevertheless, it is a fine recording and my favorite!

[aldenga]

Its Seiji Ozawa conducting BSO, of course !

[Aaron741963]

These are for the most part the same words in Liszt's Faust Symphony. I sang that ending with our communities orchestra. It was quite fun singing with a professional orchestra.

[dovad16]

Thank you. I imagine I am you as you let the music live through your movements. Bravo!!

[misterkatartiko]

il finale più bello della storia della musica

[music4dude]

well done!

[mhuskey1980]

This is the Solti/Chicago recording, right?

[bernadeta92]

Wunderschön. Ich steh bei den Aufführungen vor dem Chor .. und jedes mal an dieser Stelle krieg ich Gänsehaut...

[authourbrown]

danke, thanx for showing the musical score to an earth shattering end to the mighty 8th! that is what i wanna see with the sonic avalanche!

[undango]

excellent.Great vid,I love the whole symphony but ,for me ,this is 6 mins of the best music ever written.I have about 9 versions and would def recommend the one conducted by eliahu inbal.

[rodocarnio]

It's the first time I see this video and I am amazed. It's awesome,

¿Have you tried to do the same with Mahler's nd. symphony?

Do it with the last movement. Thank you in advance.

[Helmutbauer]

amazing. You understood something!

[MightyMelmoth]

Hey, that was great!

[priscilaazevedo77]

Cara, sou tua fã! Beijos do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil!

Man, I'm your fan! Kisses from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

[apollomwj]

Keep these videos comming, there GREAT! Seriously, you should do the finale of Verdi's requiem. The best finale of them all!

[mahlerkid]

Where can you listen to verdi's requiem? If it's better than this finale i'd like to hear it!

[everspectra]

if you want the best symphonic endings ever, listen to Mahler's 9th and 10th, they are absolutely heart-wrenching

[HHornig]

If they asked me what kind of music I would not like to miss on the "famous desert island" I would say: The first movement of Mahler's 9th symphony! (You are right, the Finale, too, but also the Rondo burlesque!) All endings of Mahler's symphonies are "happy ends", with the exception of the 6th. The ending of the 3rd is a prayer!

Did you ever listen to the 10th symphony, completely reconstructed by Deryck Cooke? Interesting!

[abbjorko]

bravissimo... i'm happy that people like you has the fantasy and the imagination to do what is genuine and simple to make people understand the value of this eternal sublime music

[Busillis67]

Congratulations!! The video is a perfect mix of personal interpretation (lived interpretation) of music and its written simbols; remarkable video editing (I specially enjoyed the cut at 4:04). It's often very revealing to see how music (and in this case not actually very simple or popular music) can be humanized, understood and shared by viewing the basic reaction it produces on a man senses. Hope to see more in the future, thanks!!

[eatingutube]

you are cute.

[wsmith68]

This is magnificent!! I love you dude!! This is my favorite 5 minutes out of alle Mahler. The sheet music cuts are brilliant. I could rave for hours about this it is so AWESOME!! Just to see someone else lipsynch and "conduct" this little exquisite part like I have a *thousand* times.

My recording is unlabeled, though. Don't know who conducted who where, or when. :( But, there *is* thunderous applause from an overexcited audience at the end! It doubles the effect. Check it.

[wsmith68]

OMG, Mahler is so addictive! I am sure you have heard the Gilbert Kaplan story. For those who haven't, old Gil got so obsessed with the Resurrection symphony that he became a conductor just to do it. He has put out like 457 recordings. lol Resurrection is another personal fave.

A serious request:

Do "non-piagere, Liu" from Turandot.

Pleeeeez!!!

Best wishes William, you are a gift to YouTubers. :)

[PrometheusA1]

This is truly one of the most incredibly beautiful and compelling pieces of music ever written. Thanks for posting the video and excerpts from the sheet music!

[coryisawake]

this is hilarious!! i want to be your friend now.

[tonyl9]

I believe there is a story that goes like this. Mahler saw one of his friends gazing at the countryside in Austria. Mahler asked him why are you staring at these mountains. I have composed them. But I think that life's struggles and and ultimate death and finally resurrection is caught in these unearthy musical sounds. Veni, Veni Creator Spiritus

[OdetoJoy9]

Such a beautiful song! It's so amazing; music.

[wooskru]

For me the best choir-orchestra music ever,toghether with the end of mahler 2nd,Brahms requiem and the first movement of the underrated Vaughan Williams'"A sea symphony".You feel it,can't deny it!!

[dadasopher]

i must listen to vaughan williams' sea symphony, now that you've compared it to these works of mahler and brahms. a year ago i discovered vaughn williams' fantasia on a theme of thomas tallis, and i'm looking forward to discovering the sea symphony. thank you for the recommendation!

[Tompa4321]

A Sea Symphoni is Marvellous. This also. ;)

[dadasopher]

YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC IS SUBLIME.

thank you for showing us the notes

on the sheet music as it plays.

YOU AE THE COOLEST DUDE ON YOUTUBE.

[MusikFurAlles]

Fascinating, different, passionate, intelligent.

You've a great future ahead of you if you retain this enthusiasm!

[marinainwonderland]

is absolutely imposible dont love you. i'm sure that you are a great lover!

[bigdonkey002]

This is a definite Mahler fan right here!

[mangott]

Starlight, Star bright, you bring us measured flight

[Johkas]

WZauscher es un genio.

[mcmurter]

Great work! One of my favorite Mahler passages, and I love your video presentation, especially with the score samples.

[pinponpin1]

Yes! Yes! Yes! wonderful!

[morrigange]

I was blessed when i participated on a chorus, when i was a kid, in my city, Caracas. We were more than 1200 persons on stage, between chorus and orchestra... this symphony will be always in my heart!

[musicalaviator]

for some reason I'v always liked Mahlers darker moments... such as the opening of part 2 with the Gothe Faust. Actually my favourite parts of the 8th are the first few minutes of section 2.

[moderlieschen]

Wonderful, mein Urgroßvater würde es sehr gemocht haben!

Adrian Mahler, Berlin

[JeeRant]

Very cool video...Mahler's Eighth gets me every time.

[serginho1961]

I just loved you immediately, guy! Please do many many more videos like this one, WZAUSCHER, they are undescribably wonderful. Mahler's music is the most complete, perfect and transcendental. I always loved his music since I first heard it. I then began searching and getting ev'rything he created. I did adore your intense passion. Thank you thank you thank you... The Chorus Mysticus is perhaps the most wonderful piece I've ever heard.

[tommyk77]

amazing

[jacobogershovitz]

great!!!

[MrMuayThai]

i first heard this while in my dads car driving on a long journey and it brung tears to my eyes, absolutely beautiful

[cardinalg]

Mahler 8 is just an awesome work! Is that the Solti recording? It's the best!

[speedystriper]

Awesome. Mahler is the greatest of all the great composers. That finale always blows me completely away.

[paateri]

Greatest piece of music ever composed!!

Especially from Chorus mysticus until end.

[billjoea]

What an awesome video! Do some more please!!!
