Mahler: Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection)

[rlwigg]

if you want to know when to clap (when the piece is over). Watch the conductors arms, when he rest them by his side, the piece is done.

[dymecoar]

Magnificent.

[jkovert]

It's about Jesus.

[TheUnbrokenDreamer]

Love or hate, just shut up and appreciate this masterpiece

[deadvirgo]

This is the best music to listen to while writing essays.

[skaplan1995]

@deadvirgo It takes over the part of your brain that is normally working oh so hard to distract you...

[jjuan54]

deep, deep, complex, and magnificent music,

[7855waldo]

Hmmm...55 dislikes...55 musicians in the orchestra...coincidence?

[HotSauceCM7]

@7855waldo well, there aren't really 55 people in an orchestra. more like 100+

I think 55 disliked it because 55 people thought it was not that good...

which i agree...

good gravy, work on that intonation!

I know some high school orchestras (public too) that are better than this...

[7855waldo]

@HotSauceCM7 - Horray! I had nothing to do with the intonation!

[RunningWithRitalin]

@HotSauceCM7 Thats the video quality, not the orchestra.

[schneider876]

Hello my name is rafael and i live in Brasil !

The CHANNEL Berlin Philarmonic notices sent ywo in my account letting my channel in bad condition for i have posted a symphony 7 and 9 COMPLETE with Karajan conduction ,

if they do not have this material not cet others because i´m puttig you send this to say they blocked me and that's how they return the love from fans

it did not money but by the love of music , THEY DID THIS WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE

Thank you for your attention !

[skibofilms]

Wish I could see this live, but this video is perfect!

[ScienceManComics]

I like Mahler's work, but nowadays it's about an hour longer than the average person's attention span.

[Becadefia]

@ScienceManComics Precisely 1 hour, 27 minutes, and 21 seconds for this piece.

[cendem]

This symphony do more sensitive emotion...i love it..big compositor this guy

[thatah339]

muito linada mesmo, mozart era uma grande mente

[Shadow3329]

I got the chance to sing the choir part in the last movement of this brilliant piece about a week ago. There are very few pieces of music that can move me as much as this symphony does. Its a real shame that the name "Mahler" means so little to so many people since he was a genius. I can't really describe this piece adequately since its so amazing. That is all

[haywade22]

Very great music!

[scottgilesmusic]

Great music... pathetically performed. The conductor is some kind of idiot.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@scottgilesmusic Now it's punk or what?

[mathal13]

This would be good for a game like shadow of the colossus

[ck25957]

mahler is a baller

[IsraPiGu]

Que bella armonía de los contrabajos con el coro, que hermosa obra!

[hgjfkd12345]

Scroll up your'e missing the video

[jamesaellis]

MOZART!!!!!!!!!!

[1bateleur]

My last word will be Mahler.

[liberego]

As close to God as a human being can go...

[Losataschu]

O please, just shut up and listen the music!

[MrxChow]

Everyone who clapped between each movement was promptly taken outside and shot.

At least thats what should have happened.

[jkovert]

@MrxChow No - that's an outdated convention.

[artymowycz]

@MrxChow are you saying his music isnt worthy enough to be interrupted so as to exclaim the greatness by applauding?

[harrietamidala1691]

@MrxChow yeah I know. I always think symphony halls should provide a rule book of concert ettiquete in the programs.

[clivegoodman16]

@MrxChow I do not understand why you consider clapping between movements is such a crime. I realise that it is not conventional to clap between between movements in some cases one movement runs into another but in this Symphony, Mahler specified that there should be a break between the first two movements and in this performance there was a break between the the third and fourth. I cannot see why it is so terrible to clap during these breaks. People clap after arias and dances & this is OK

[owahahah]

Bass is bumpin'. 

[Dima4702]

Great done by GUSTAV)))))))))))))))))))))))

[HugoPlayTheTrumpet]

I love the Finale one of my favourite movements, i remenber playing with my Brass Band and felt very proud to be able to play such music.

[Mahler1912]

...and why does the audiece clap after each movement?

[uwewiedemeier]

Eines Tages, ich war etwa 14 Jahre alt, lieh ich mir die 2. von Mahler aus der Bibliothek. Mich sprach der Tite: "Ressurrection" = "Auferstehung" an und weckte mein Interesse. Hatte vorher ein paar Sätzeüber Mahler bei Adorno und Schoenberg gelesen, kannte aber die Musik nicht...

Ich war von mehrerem beeindruckt und ergriffen: vom klaren Aufbau der einzelnen Sätze, der darin enthaltenen Wucht und Zartheit, die einander abwechseln und emotional in gleicher Weise stimmig wie erhebend sind...

[linmessenger]

Go Orchestra!!!

[linmessenger]

Is this the longest video on Youtube or what?!?

[MegaZANOT]

admirable tres bonne acoustique ,plein les oreilles merci et notemment a g mahler genial !!!!!

[Adam12608]

Tolles Stück,hervorragend gespielt.

[maple0leaves]

Mahler---one of christopher paolini's favourite symphony maker ----Amazing.

[SirSebastianWang]

@maple0leaves

What does Christopher Paolini have to do with anything...?

[zlatko992]

If you careffuly are listening this presentation of Mahler,s view of the Resurrection of our Redeemer- Jesus Christ more then once, you can't escape from invisible,immortal beauty.There are wonderful polyfonic sounds of a lot of people on to narrow place!Absolutely magnificient !

[Mahler1912]

@zlatko992 The beauty of Mahler's music does not prove the existence of Jesus Christ (who I declare not to be my redeemer, as I do not know from what I should be redeemed), but only proves the beauty of Mahler's music, which is certainly deeper and more profound than any ridiculous, fabricated, one-dimensional legend.

[EC66OK]

@Mahler1912 You are correct that the beauty of Mahler proves only the beauty of Mahler's music, but what proves the existence of beauty? The subject matter was apparently "profound" enough to inspire this "beauty" you claim for Mahler. The idea that God incarnated as Man, took the fate of man upon Himself, exposed the lie at the foundation of all scapegoat systems (the innocent are guilty), passed through death and overcame it by His own creative power is profound indeed. Hardly one dimensional.

[danielrou09]

Sublime!!!



[olopcall]

We're publishing an arrangement of 2nd symphony for piano by Serge Ollive.

[twistfunk]

I found this because I was reading Immortality by Milan Kundera.

[Believe2C]

leggomyeggo123, I know what you mean.  The performance was by a lesser known orchestra and chorus, but I sang the last measures with tears streaming down my face. I think this must be the sort of music the angels sing.

[testify2love]

good gosh, why didn't I start listening to mahler earlier in my life?!

[violinchic1415]

I think a little after 13:41 is the TMEA all state exerpt for violin

[123soccergal]

@violinchic1415 Thank you!!!!

[sludgefingers]

Yes but who would win in a fight? This lot or the Vienna Philharmonic?

[ellis12241]

@sludgefingers Well, obviously the Vienna Philharmonic, but I'd still take the solo Soprano and Contralto.

[samuelsixvids]

that was extremely intense

[Radeir1]

É extraordinária a Beleza que Mahler coseguiu nos mostrar nesta Verdadeira "Resurreiction" - A Sinfonia N* 2 - Magnífica !!! Maravilhosa!!! Obra Prima inigualável!!!

[alados360]

1:22:38 virtuoso triangle player

[BlueSilverfish]

thanks. but its really sad the quality isnt better...

[MrFerminleon]

The Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler, known as the Resurrection, was written between 1888 and 1894, and first performed in 1895. Fourth Movement: Primeval Light O red rose! Man lies in greatest need! Man lies in greatest pain! How I would rather be in heaven. There came I upon a broad path when came a little angel and wanted to turn me away. Ah no! I would not let myself be turned away! I am from God and shall return to God The loving God will grant me a little light,...

[MrFerminleon]

The chello introduction to this movement is very impressive

[jaffna97]

how could you dislike this genius masterpiece ?

[jaffna97]

how could you dislike this genius masterpiece 

[StoelR]

Oh no, they applaud! Doesn't the audience understand music? Shame that the conductor even seems to appreciate it...

[LeonardAbbado3]

the conductor looks like bernstein

[Harry13ification]

I just listened to this symphony for the festival of Athens at Irodeio. The performance of Athens State Orchestra was amazing!

[lmrs2]

Maravillosa ... esto, si que resucita.. !!!!

Genial !!!

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

This is a comment.

[aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs]

@NotOrdinaryInGames Indeed.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

@aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs That was actually my response to the first "highest rated" comment. Stop analyzing music! Just play it or listen to it, why all the pointless talk?

[aC1dxN1gHtM4rEs]

@NotOrdinaryInGames I wholeheartedly agree.

[lambecolin]

@NotOrdinaryInGames ----This is not a comment---

[TheMadrigalista]

About Mahler often ends up, paradoxically, by talking about the extreme romanticism of trespass in a sort of neo-Baroque brain. They accuse the author of the "endless" symphonies, but ratings-apart style-I think that listening to repay. For example, I love the cantata for mezzo-soprano who opened the IV movement, but I understand that it makes no sense to listen to the song alone. Without what precedes and what follows it down to a beautiful song and nothing more.

It's not funny, this is lying joke.

[venskus2009]

HUGE bass section

[nataliVeseznam]

I'm sorry but my comment belongs to Sir Simon Rattle version he is a genius

[germs069]

great to study to

[Sword1479]

I love how the video starts out with the instruments in disarray before they begin the symphony.

[PersonneAnnonime]

tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE!

Mahler est un des plus grands compositeurs qui ait jamais existé, au même titre que Mozart ou Bethoven. Reste encore à aquérir la même notoriété.

[Rasterius]

@Jakimdasabelhas I agree it would be a different would altogether if classical music was more widespread. And we would be a better race for it.

[stellartunes]

@Rasterius I agree completely, I think the reason classical music is not appreciated as much is because it is not understood by the average person. That's why educating young people is essential, to expose them to it, and teach them the beauty of another world that they might not have discovered. I don't waste my energy with elitists, or overly critical people as they are always in my opinion extremely insecure. The purpose of music, like all good art and knowledge is to be shared. Cheers!

[flylooper]

Wow! That's a pretty darned ambitious undertaking for a college orchestra. They did a good job. The sound quality! Don't know if it was the room or the miking, but it left a lot to be desired)

As for all the commentary about the audience, etc....come on! 90% of the people in the seats probably never heard a Mahler symphony.

I just heard the San Francisco Symph. and Tilson-Thomas give the 2nd in early May. The mezzos even there came up short, AFAIC. NEvertheless, the music speaks for itself.

[aa4285]

Many years ago I had the honor and privilege to be in the chorus of the The Long Island Philharmonic and Chorus in New York under the baton of David Lockington. It was an experience i will never forget. To this day I have never sung a piece of music that has moved me more. I was in tears at the end. To be standing among a choir of 225 singers and a full 80 memeber orchestra sent chills up my spine. I stood right behind the brass section. Need I say more?

[minniemousie]

@aa4285 i WOULD HAVE LOVED BEING IN THAT AUDIENCE TO HEAR YOUR PERFORMANCE!

Congratulations on having such a beautiful memory!

[alpercelikel]

excelent



[Napolitano610]

Music tastes are soooo subjective. But everyone knows this. Some like rap while others prefer Chopin and the classical masters. Mahler is a great bore and immensely overrated. The Jewish people who love the classics seem to also adore Mahler -- at least the ones who can stay awake during his endless, droning, tuneless hours-long musical messes. He was never able to come up with one whistlable melody in his endless hours of zzzzzzzzzzz and whole tones.

[johnbrumbaugh]

@Napolitano610 mahler 2 is a delicately and deliberately woven tapestry of themes, colors, and counterpoint. i don't just listen to this symphony; it sweeps me away and carries me to a greater place. if you can't hear the countless themes and melodies that mahler intertwines throughout this symphony you definitely aren't listening close enough. if you aren't trolling, then... may god have mercy on your soul.

[NightmareGuitarist]

@Napolitano610

Well, your ears havnt gotten use to the complex structure. Music isnt about all whistle-able melodies, is about the tension, and release, the Drama, the story, the technique, the structure, the execution, and more. but i feel sad for you that you can enjoy at least a bit of this wonderful symphony

[glennsown]

A formal break between the first and second movements is not unusual, due to the length of the entire work. Notice that the conductor left the stage in this performance.

[clivegoodman16]

@glennsown If I remember correctly,Mahler himself specified a wait between the first and second movements.

[vitormoutte]

it's so exciting to know that next monday I'll be singing this at Sala São Paulo (Brazil) =D

[Napolitano610]

All the masters. Especially the Russians like Rimsky-Korsakov. Tchaikovsky; also, of course, Hayden, Chopin, Bizet, Offenbach; all the German masterxs; all the Italian masters, the Americans, Copeland (and even John Williams, James Horner). Mahler has his moments (Symphony 5), but overall, he's just to long, drawn out and boring. Very few interesting themes/melodies. I don't like Mendelsohn or Stravinsky..

[MrANTONIOS383]

@Napolitano610 MAHLER IS A GENIUS

[Losataschu]

@Napolitano610 so, why have you seen it?

[Napolitano610]

A boring, derivative, desultory mess. Makes no musical sense. Lots of noise with no musical direction or destination. Mahler is hugely overrated.

[beatlesmack9]

@Napolitano610 I really think youre wrong. Who do you like?

[MrBassmann25]

@Napolitano610

Please do tell what degree in music you hold if any. I suppose none since Haydn has no "e" in his name. Perhaps you should read a program note or two about the piece and understand who Mahler is rather than basing your opinion on just a recording!!

[Sword1479]

@Napolitano610 BLASPHEMY!!!

[BallazElite]

@Napolitano610 What you sayin, sucka? Mahler is the GOAT, and you just a wack-ass hata

[Leobass31]

no entiendo como hay gente que puede ponerle votos negativos a esta fantastica obra..

[asadodemierda]

@Leobass31 porque los gustos musicales (y en general) son relativos, no te ha pasado pro la cabeza?

A beautiful performance of all artists!

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.

This is an amateur performance. If you want a real performance of this symphony try Mehta with the VPO or Bernstein with the NYP.

[jin12345678]

@martinusB95 kubelik is my favorite!

[ballaghadereen]

To DJNotNais: What a snob you must be. In a work as brilliant and as intense as this, applause is a form of release, and appreciation for the level of difficulty. Lighten up!

[ddeihl2]

@ballaghadereen

A symphonic work is a continuous piece and the silent pauses between movements give a brief respite that would be broken with jarring applause. For those of us who really appreciate this kind of music to the fullest, it is important to "maintain the mood" between movements. So applause is a disruption of your concentration and enjoyment of the continuity of the piece for those who don't want to break the mental peace they have.

[Jakimdasabelhas]

@ddeihl2 I think is wrong to put Art up on a marble pedestal. Let the audience cheer and be part of the show. Maybe one day we will have Wagner playing on fast food restaurants and whorehouses.

[makky123]

@Jakimdasabelhas, or maybe Chopin while you do your shopping?...sorry.

[Doeff8]

@ddeihl2 And in addition: please, please, please leave a few seconds of silence between the last chord and the applause.

[madbassskills]

@ddeihl2 May be one of the douchiest comments ever.

[orangejuice852]

@madbassskills but it's kind of true... classical music is more like theatre - you wouldn't clap after every scene in a play

[redbrian3655]

@orangejuice852 You would have never survived in Baroque time where people yelled for encores after arias............. sometimes performing them three times!!!!

[madbassskills]

@orangejuice852  Yeah you would.

[Knight3100]

@ddeihl2 I think this kind of thing is created by arrogant people. It´s because of this that the classical environment became so confined. You block other people from appreciating by scaring them and letting them uncomfortable. When you watch the first movement of a mozart symphony for example, the wish to applaud is great, is wonderful. Music is emotion, it´s energy, each one should be allowed to show what they feel.

[maestrohoppe]

@ddeihl2 does it really matter so much? like did the trumpet mistake blow this performance completely?

[juggletiff125]

@ddeihl2 afterall, you dont clap mid film in the cinema.... (no sarcasm)

[emjiane]

@ddeihl2 Mais j'apprécie surtout d'avoir  la totalité de l'oeuvre à notre disposition d'écoute . Je peux faire l'impasse sur quelques secondes d'applaudissements mais il est toujours frustrant de scinder les mouvements d'une oeuvre musicale. Donc un grand merci à UC television !!!

[bleakbear]

Have the brasses ever heard of tuning before? I mean, I realize the last time they tuned was like 1976, but still, I tune at least every other year....

[sirwootalot]

The orchestra is way, way, WAY too loud during the first choir parts, as is the soloist.

[musicalix]

Death and Resurevction. The haunting theme of the First Movement.

[fran040894]

saw it last night at the Grand Théâtre de Québec, directed by Yoav Talmi. Absolutly stuning !! I adore this symphony, my favorite one from Mahler.

[rockyriver]

@fran040894

I'm so glad you mentioned Yoav Talmi. He conducted it years ago in San Diego and it absolutely blew me away. For instance when the chorus sings Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n it's marked misterioso in the score and he made it so misterioso it was almost as if only angels could hear it. And the whole performance was like that. After that this symphony was my favorite piece of classical music.

[BilboHalfling]

I remember learning back in the day in music history- that when this symphony was first premiered in Paris, Debussy, Faure, and Dukas walked out in disgust. My teacher agreed with them, saying that it was a terrible symphony. I avoided it for a while, until i finally gave it a chance, and it became my absolute favorite by Mahler. So that's my critique on critique.

The ending of this symphony is just so glorious. I cried the first time I heard it
