Thank you so much for uploading this video. I have seen it several times (M6 is my favorite symphony) and every time I get more impressed by Maestro Abbado and LFO performance. Final movement is breathtaking.. well whole symphony is played extremely well. Maestro Abbado is a living legend. Mahlerians must be grateful to have complete Mahler symphony works by Maestro Abbado and LFO... Thanks a lot

@felixfjimenezmendez Sarebbe il caso che sentissi con la più alta attenzione possibile la registrazione della VI di Karajan coi Berliner (Deutsche Grammophon).

GREAT!

[kriley504]

Wolfram Christ has been playing principal viola under Abbado for over 20 years and Karajan before him!! He's such a badass!!! Great performance!!!!! I hope I can get there and see these guys soon!!

[IvanaDanza1]

Belleza de Obra... !!!

[IllichSketchShow]

This version is so different from Valery Gergiev's !!

It's so thoroughly romantic a rendering, a very stark contrast to the other frenzied version

just shows how much scope for interpretation a great peace can leave

[musoderelict]

Maestro Abbado is my favourite conductor.

He gives this a magnificent tempo.

How can you conduct a huge work like this from memory? Amazing.

[1bateleur]

@musoderelict I know from memory 5 Mahler Symphonies, 15 Mozart symphonies, every paganini caprice, 4 Bruckner Symphonies, 5 Dvorak Symphonies and many other orchestral works. But I think Abbado knows every orchestral work in the world. It's a law: every great conductor (like Abbado) conducts from memory every piece he plays.

[musoderelict]

@1bateleur Not true. Sir Georg Solti, to name just one.

[renato45222]

@musoderelict Ascolta Karajan che interpreta la VI, ascolta senza pregiudizi

[incasmaya]

MA CHE CAZZO DI CAPELLI HA IL PRIMO FLAUTO!!!!!!!!

[renato45222]

@incasmaya che bellezza di commenti!

[offyougonow1007]

Combine a composer of Mahler's genius with today's sound quality, a majestic symphony orchestra and a conductor of Maestro Abbado's ilk and one is certain to cook up a recipe of sheer enchantment!

Many thanks too, for posting this masterpiece of superb beauty... Cheers! Cate

1. Oboe imitiert Albrecht Mayer.

[SchwarzeDose21]

@Kapputschino12 das ist sinnlos, warum sollte er?

[Kapputschino12]

Kolja Blacher wichtigtuer.

[jyg222]

Gustav Mahler a vraiment composé de la belle et grande musique, c'est génial...Thank you KillNoPsych !

[faemdia]

imponente! me gustaria haber estado en el ensayo, se nota un gran trabajo del director pra lograr un gran sonido.

[agesperfume]

ルツェルン＆アバドといえば、数年前の来日時の「ロマンティック­」は情感に欠けていたきらいがあったが、こちらは素晴らしい演奏­だと思います。

[zomgrandomtext]

3:07 Was there a contrabassoon in there .-.

[luistromb]

Que hermosa música....Mahler era un genio,uno de mis compositores favoritos.

[AubreyProsper]

Good versions of this are few and far between. So far this and Eschenbach are my favorites...

[NatiHistorymaker]

Dieser Dirigent ist so krass:)!

Hab ihn schon oft gesehen

[musoderelict]

@NatiHistorymaker Abbado krass? Warum?

[TheShaya]

Absofuckinlutely Amazing!!!

[Cramnella]

Magnificent! I remember when Abbado was a young, up and coming conductor. Loved him then and love him still.

[esmhorn]

I wish someone who was more versed in the form of this work could explain the massive repeat for me. I can't imagine Mahler decided to add the repeat arbitrarily so you must imagine that it fits into some form, or has some other largepurpose for repeating such a large portion of music. Listening to this makes me want to purchase the dvd as well. Gotta love Abbado.

[Strefanash]

@esmhorn

repeating the exposition of the first movement in sonata form was standard for symphonies of the 18th century. Perhaps GM wanted to refer to this. Maybe he neded a repeat to balance the opening with what followed

[musoderelict]

@esmhorn (Sonata Form of 18th Century: Part 1 - 1st, & a contrasting 2nd theme Repeated. Part 2 - development, 'playing' with the themes, experimenting with them. Part 3 - return of Part 1, usually in a varied way.)

However this became freer and freer and by late 19th century was almost forgotten about. - I agree with Strefanash, Mahler wanted to make a special point here.

[KillNoPsych]

Thanks in advance for your profound comments, my friends!

Peace & Love

[IrishClaudius]

@KillNoPsych yes my friend he and Maazel is the only one that plays the 'ma non troppo' !!

[Varese52]

Extraordinary in every sense of the word. I don't think I've ever heard this piece as lightly played as this. It seems "Tragic" more in the sense of Schubert's Fourth Symphony than the way one is accustomed to hearing this symphony. But the connection is a very interesting one. As ever, Abbado's approach is revelatory.

[Kilopane]

Superb stuff.
