Mahler: Symphony No. 5, Adagietto - (Vienna S. Orchestra, Bernstein)

[aardvaark069]

The Vienna has always been hostile to Jews and women. It seems that only through struggle can beauty of this spiritual order be attained.

I conduct to live...I live to compose.

[fenixf1966]

stupendo...

[patxiguerrero]

La descubrí siendo un niño con "La muerte en Venecia". Desde entonces Mahler (y Mozart) acompañan todos, todos, todos, los días de mi vida.

[Tatipsi]

Minha preferida!! Maravilhoso!!

[eddieweller]

this is mesmerising music!!

[clarirossi]

Che grande maraviglia.Da pelle d'oca sia l'interpretazione che la musica che è un vero capolavoro.

[Palomablanca2008]

Breathtaking !!

[dhavebur]

[MEugenial1]

Precioso y sensible!!!

[Rubeus89]

...

The silence after that...

[hgbrown20001]

From the classic with the NY Phil to this--it is no where too slow. Bernstein has matured beyond measure! We will miss a great conductor, composer, and artist in his own might! I watched him rehearse the NY Phil many times and you cannot even begin to know how he took each bar of music and worked it over and over until he got what he wanted. And, he had "perfect pitch".

[TheTwoefes]

A musica enche a alma e o desempenho do maestro é um encanto.

[Dan474834]

Mahler > Beethoven and Mozart put together.

[web4pro]

wonderful Bernstein! we miss you ! Mahler without Bernstein is not even possible !

[mmbmbmbmb]

In my opinion the most wonderful symbiosis:

Gustav Mahler ~ Leonard Bernstein ~ Wiener Philharmoniker.

How can it get better than that?

[billjhyt]

@mmbmbmbmb No way that I know of.

[CreationEnthusiast]

@mmbmbmbmb i agree!!! I had to remind myself to breath :)

[4pedos]

@mmbmbmbmb ...perhaps Gustav Mahler - Leonard Bernstein - New York Philharmonic...?

[mmbmbmbmb]

@4pedos ~ Okay ~ perhaps as good. But better? Don't think so ;o)

[4pedos]

@mmbmbmbmb Well, yes, I think we can agree on that point.

[mmbmbmbmb]

@4pedos ~ so let's agree then ;o)

I'd find it difficult to bear hostility toward someone, who seems to like Gustav Mahler and Leonard Bernstein.

[4pedos]

@mmbmbmbmb So do I! By the way, I certainly love the Wiener Philarmoniker too, an absolutely superb ensemble, but they used to be very hostile towards Mahler, their "home composer" as if it were, and I´m sure you know about Lenny´s troubles trying to overcome their fierce resistance. Probably influenced by that, it seemed to me that Lenny must have always felt more comfortable with "his" NYPO, so I unconciously expected this marriage to work better... which is not quite true...

[JERZIGROTOWSKI]

Qué versión tan generosa. Karajan no podría, aunque quisiera, lograr esta sensibilidad maheleriana, esto es intenso y personal. es una pena que este editada y mutilada.

[laurelhys]

@JERZIGROTOWSKI Bernstein knew how to make it extra sweet without being sacchrine

[JERZIGROTOWSKI]

@laurelhys Claro, la parte final es tan intensa... Y la parte de los cellos es tan noble y llena de aspiraciones... los violines en las últimas secciones me sugieren una caida en picada por sensaciones no melosas, sino acariciadoras.

[laurelhys]

@JERZIGROTOWSKI

watch the young person's concert where Bernstein talks about how Mahler could express the intense emotions of a child with his music. Bernstein understood Mahler

[hugecashfan]

@laurelhysHi laurelhys what is the name of the young person's concert where Bernstein talks about how Mahler could express the intense emotions of a child with his music please

[laurelhys]

@hugecashfan

[laurelhys]

@hugecashfan

search "Who is Gustav Mahler - Young People's Concert - Bernstein & NY Philharmonic". the part I was referring to is about 10:30 into the program. sorry I took so long to respond. enjoy.

[hugecashfan]

@laurelhys Thank you

[leandromusic1234]

Magnífico...



[Dan474834]

2:00 to about 3:12 is the best part. Truly astounding.

[mdivisio]

GRANDE MAHLER

[hinikunaKitsune]

I love this version =D

[naplesboy77]

Bernstein was a master at capturing Mahler. He loved this composer and felt it, Raw passion! Still sends shivers down my spine.

[KhalDrogo76]

i don't find this version too slow, i find it to be an exercise in the genius of human

[laurelhys]

@KhalDrogo76 personally I find the pace perfect as expressed by Bernstein. This is his interpretation and I love it

[Dan474834]

@laurelhys This tempo is perfect. Bernstein always gets the tempo right. Check out his version of Mozart's Lacrimosa. Slightly slower than the original tempo, yet so much soothing to the spirit.

[ONeirda]

Uhh, quite extremely slow in my opinion. Many conductors take this slower than Mahler's fellow and friend conductor, Bruno Walter, did during the 1910ies. Bruno Walter is said to have had about 7-8 min. Bernstein (and also Haitink) probably take it "too slow". But: the music is that much a masterpiece that one apparently can take it even at half the speed that Mahler originally intended, and it still sounds great.

[MsBickle76]

"Ma bitches need mo money" -Gustav Mahler

[jsphotos]

@MsBickle76 And your drooling cretin brain needs a tune up

[MsBickle76]

@jsphotos ohh, you!

[KAPNIZW]

Excellent !!!!!!

[vicenteortizdiago]

Mahler y Bernstein 2 genios inpresionante

[MrBlanc2006]

This great composer,wrote this this love letter to Alma...is a magnificent love declaration to his wife....Bravo Mahler!

[flylooper]

Oh, Lenny!  Why?

[Hedersmedlem]

I do beleive that Gustav Mahler and Roger Waters of Pink Floyd are soulmates.

[U2006gmx]

@Hedersmedlem

oddly the main theme in the beginning reminds me of a pink floyd song

guess thats true :D

[mftubeyou]

@Hedersmedlem

Just saw Roger Waters The Wall Live in Stockholm. This music is played before the concert starts ... :)

[Shmuckla]

gustav's wife was a hoe

[boterwisk]

@Shmuckla jajajajaja, yes.

[boterwisk]

@ydraki What version of Mahler 5th, do you like?

[ydraki]

@boterwisk

Maazel's seems the least intrusive, faithful and respectful of Mahler's emotional intent. This may have well been Mahler's most painful and complex romantic composition. 

[ydraki]

What an obvious difference from conductor to conductor at interpreting music, especially great music.

This one of Bernstein is a glaring example of 'murdering' an otherwise masterpiece!

What a shame!

[LionMartins1]

Symphony is only perceptible to the soul sensitive to sounds produced by the orchestra

[moramaivg]

te adagio...

[sam0xin]

Very passionate & ORGANIC version ...(but it's brutally edited ...)

[betharr]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

[MelloCello88]

This is a great video UNFORTUNATELY!! There are about 50 measures missing of the movement

The cello tutti at 1:20 is wrong. Somehow the video editing spliced it wrong and cut out like half of the piece. This movement is like 8-9 minutes not 4 and 1/2. Still a great clip though!

[DianeROU]

@MelloCello88

ahhhhhh, that silence was perfect  :)))))))

[schiolde]

@MelloCello88 I dont think something is wrong, this is just the last 4 minutes of the movemeant. I looked through the partitur and I didnt see anything missing.

[nebraska12]

@schiolde some people are idiots
