[shib340]

@SchwarzeDose21 It's not very fair if you get the best players in world of all different nationalities to come play for one orchestra

[SchwarzeDose21]

@shib340 why? this is a wonderful festival. i haven't said anything against other orchestras, i ment that i like the sound of this one the most^^

[iter68]

this mahler 7 version is the fastest one i've heard, the conductor was trying to kill the players

[heunny]

@iter68 Its Claudio Abbado. He does what he wants lol :P

[noirvalentin]

That trombone part at 1:26 is awesome!!!

[fabricorno]

ti senti spiritoso?? non credo che fai ridere nessuno ma ovviamente devi sempre farti riconoscere!!!

[fabricorno]

chi è il secondo corno?

[donatoinglese]

mia nonna::)))))))))

[Nightowl1981]

I want to go study with this Timpanist, Raymond Curfs.

He looks amazing!

[mlark4]

Opening pace is just too fast - clarity clarity is what Mahler wanted. the firs few bars got muddied. Good, but too fast. Abbado is one of my favorite Mahler conductors too. :-(

[celovek76]

Fantastico!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[finnishredder]

Raymond Curfs behind the timpani.... amazing!!! He just unleashes this movement into something very exciting! And maestro Abbado.... wow!

[Happienst]

Bravo. Perfectno!

[komokr]

Bravo Bravo Bravo!!!!!!

[shostamahlerbachetc]

[Haeronthegreat]

Alessio Allegrini!

[MarkusTrompete]

[marimbao]

Impresionante!!!

[ThaSchwab]

Ugh ... why am I so infatuated with the trombone part at 1:24?

[LetTheMusicFlow1]
