Gustav Mahler-Piano Quartet in A minor

[CieN1ght]

Shutter island;s music

[MrGriis1988]

By the way, I love this quartett. I´m playing it myself at the moment : )

[MrGriis1988]

Where is the end of the piece ?????

[fateplus1]

apparently mahler had a huge dick

[xDisturbedDemon]

"Please...edify me doctor."

[MrMAZTERbater]

@xDisturbedDemon Shutter island

[soonertiger2012]

Thumbs up if you first heard this song in "Shutter Island".

[filiprogue]

listening to this song after smoking marijuana can give you an orgasm!

[FFSray]

@filiprogue it makes me rather sad.

[Lenneh8sutube]

@filiprogue hihihi u so cool hihihihihi...

[bf3allday1]

@filiprogue epic comment is epic :D

[dlewzey]

I totally love this piece of music. the thing is I cant get at what it is exactly Mahler is trying to express in this piece. Is it love? loss? sadness? Confusion? It strikes me as anger then something else. any explanation from youtubers is appreciated

[mindbodylightsound10]

@dlewzey "Let us maintain that the beauty of a work of art must always remain mysterious; that is to say, it is impossible to explain how it is created . . . let us not attempt to destroy or explain it" (from Debussy Letters)

[dlewzey]

@mindbodylightsound10 Ok cool, I understand what you mean but even you must have an opinion on this piece of music, Do you have any opinion on it other than that you gave me?

[sark137]

@dlewzey I think of it as Sisyphus coming up with endless variations on a theme as a masochistic and ironic way of preserving his dignity while carrying out his punishment.

[Elius3]

@sark137 love it

[MrChirpsky]

I was about to click "like" when it suddenly stopped before the end. I shall now regrettably click "dislike". For anyone who is actually able to appreciate this fine music, listening for nearly 10 minutes only to have the piece end so abruptly is no service whatsoever and deserves zero appreciation - there are other recordings of this that do not cut off. But I guess with a name like Mozafunkula, I should have known better. Also, why can't anyone provide an actual video to complement the music?

[Hubcool367]

@MrChirpsky lol what a pretentious motherfucker.

[ddlfantasy2011]

Just finished watching Shutter Island on blu ray and came here on youtube to listen to this masterpiece . Heading to CD store on monday ....

[gregapage]

it's a great shame he didn't compose more non symphonic work

[pianopolly]

@gregapage He also composed a whole bunch of songs that are at least as great and wonderful as his symphonies. But I guess you mean instrumental works; whatever, it's always a shame a genius like him didn't write more music regardless of its genre. :/ So, yeah, you're partially right.

[danielbream]

Great piece, someone knows who's playinig? The name of the chamber group please...Thanks

[dessolano]

1:18 a 1:40 magnifique

[estebanskater123]

what a great song XD coolest song ever

[Ichalavit]

Can you put the version details please?, just to honor the work and, in my opinion, this excellent interpretation.

[xapokbengers03]

great ²

[twbz]

great!!!!!

[paoloslavazza]

I enjoyed a lot. It's said to be the only chamber music from Gustav Mahler. "Early" Mahler, but struggling and deep. Very refined.

[milouribebotta]

it's a shame this is the only piece from the "early Mahler". Imagine if the all the movements existed. This is a wonderful piece.

[jimmipop1]

I love this man. Fuckin genius. I wanna learn this song 

[cubanbach]

@jimmipop1 no one SINGS here...no song found..........it IS a piece, however...



[daydreamer234786]

this is absolutely beautiful

[sacodepapas123456]

increible

[TabeaIsabella]

This music is like bittersweet. Just beautyful!!!

[TrevorKingKwong]

where's the rest of this interpretation?

[megaz123]

@TrevorKingKwong this piece was from Mahler's early days when studying at the Vienna Conservatory. It was never completed however so it does finish unexpectedly. It's a great shame it was never completed but it's beautiful none-the-less.

[TrevorKingKwong]

@megaz123

No... There are full versions of this piece, at least versions that sound like they actually have an ending. This video just cuts off in the middle of the track.

[megaz123]

@TrevorKingKwong My mistake I thought you meant the movement and not the track. Youtube I think has time limits so it does cut out after 10 mins. Depending on the recording it can be up to 15 minutes long. I was trying to be helpful but I guess it was not received that way.

[TrevorKingKwong]

@megaz123

No worries, it was just an honest misunderstanding. Also, I don't think I knew that this piece wasn't finished before, so you did help in another way.

[ShelbyRenee818]

@TrevorKingKwong do you know where to listen to the full version?

[TrevorKingKwong]

@ShelbyRenee818

Just do a search for "Mahler Piano Quartet in A minor" on YouTube. You'll find some good versions. (I like the Shutter Island Soundtrack version.)

[nyxB]

@megaz123 Actually, it was finished, but it was lost when he sent it to a contest in Moscow. According to his most important biographer, this movement was recovered later. It wasn't played until 1964 or something like that.

[megaz123]

@nyxB I am getting nothing but grief for a comment I made to the best of my knowledge. I was under the impression Mahler sent it to be theorized but it was rejected and so left unfinished after the first movement. Records show it was played twice by Mahler himself and then rediscovered as you rightly say in 1964. I don't pretend to be an expert on Mahler's early works this is just the information I have come across.

[TrevorKingKwong]

@megaz123

I'm sure many people believe the same. Don't worry.

[metfankrizz]

Anyone know more songs like this?

[megaz123]

@metfankrizz you may like Chopin Prelude in E-minor it's a little slower but the same sentiment is there, also Barber Adagio for strings, Mozart Fantasia in D-minor K.397 and pretty much anything by Liszt. I hope these help. Mahler has a strong personal sound and nothing even comes close to this piece, that I know of, so they may not be exactly what you're looking for but I love them! :) Enjoy. If you find anything like this let me know...I'd be very grateful. M

[SarLei94]

This is such a beautiful piece of music, it caught me in "Shutter Island" and it catches me now again - how masterful! I'm highly impressed...

[bugrallica]

Grisly!

[kalakasmusic]

Fine music to listen to as your world is ending...it will prep your soul as it morphs to its morontia form...You've heard this music in the movie, "Shuttee Island."

[violinnerd123]

Curse whoever dislikes this they dis on this piece. Get it? did, DISlike? haha.

[violinnerd123]

And yet critics hated Mahler's compositions.

[violinnerd123]

This I believe reflects all of Mahler's mood swings. According to the conductor Bruno Walter, who presonally knew Mahler, and did the piano reductions to his symphonies, Mahler had many mood swings.

[manthasagittarius]

@violinnerd123 That was Alma swinging him. By the tail. And bashing him against the walls. (Not this early, though.)

[coconutberg]

on amazon you can only download the full soundtrack of the movie, not this track alone. anyone knows where you can download just this track? not available on itunes.

[xxkewldudexx]

@coconutberg

use an audio ripper on this video ListenToYoutube is quite good.

[joeengaa]

ya, es bonita... pero que le ha pasado en las gafas?

[offyougonow1007]

@MrBbminor It's a documented fact that Gustav Mahler suffered from Bi-Polar Disorder and Clinical Depression is one end of the spectrum, while Mania is the opposite end. So many artistic geniuses suffer from BPD. ~Cate

[manthasagittarius]

@offyougonow1007 Interesting. Documented where, and by whom? it's tricky to diagnose a dead person, and the disorder was not recognized or named as such in his lifetime. Not that it sounds unlikely -- just that "documented fact" sounds a bit overconfident.

[Anselm513]

You could knock me down with a feather. Hearing this on "Shutter Island", I was certain it was Brahms - and mature Brahms, to boot. I thought what a dope diCaprio's character was on the film to correct it to Mahler. Then, hearing this: doh!!!! Unbelievable. Also excruciatingly beautiful - and not Brahms, now you listen to the whole thing. It's a student work of Mahler's, written in 1876, when he was 15 or 16!!!!!!

[Anselm513]

@MrBbminor

Symphonies 1, 2 ("Resurrection") & 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand"), especially their endings. Blazing triumph par excellence. "Songs of a Wayfarer" aren't at all depressing. "Das Klagende Lied" - a shock of an ending - dark, yes, but nothing like lonely and sorrowful. 9th symphony - ending of the utmost beautiful resignation - nothing "dark" or "sorrowful" about it. 10th (unfinished) symphony, 1st movement: ending is the most ravishing resolution of a dominant chord I've ever heard.

[inswoon]

@evieriley Stop telling people to do things.

[ThordinHammerwill]

You know what part of this song is the saddest part? When it's over. :( *REPLAY*

[luanluan2006]

I finally saw Shutter Island today. Simply beautiful this song is.

[rockoutdave411]

@MrBbminor He had so many sad things happen to him during his life. And he had some emotional problem. But his brothers all died when he was a kid, and he lost his only daughter to scarlet fever. His wife was cheating on him in his late life and so much more! But sadness seems to have made amazing music

[MultiKochan]

I think this song made famous Shutter Island, but I do, even though I am 16 years old, listening to Mahler from my childhood. His songs are so heartfelt...

[Welaroye]

so sad, but in the same time so beautiful, so moving and alive.

[1ApertureRealist]

@Welaroye Alive /is/ sad. Just look at the news while listening to this, and you can see.

[starstruckkk7]

absolutely beautiful, but after shutter island, so creepy....

[liteon911]

I love flashbacks. I love to remember.

[wkhhh]

*Thanks very much. The talent of Mahler is evident in this early composition. The genius, beauty, and immortality of Mahler are manifest in his later works.

[Flick037]

Do you know that he wrote this masterpiece when he was just 14 years old. Also, he was conductor and was composing only at spare time

[Drimere]

Three people don't like ? I can't understand how they do, perhaps the bad music has made them deaf ?

[Azlaier]

Please stop calling this a "song," people. It's not a song. It's a piece. >.>

[adamwiesner1]

@Azlaier wow people just love a nice snooty youtube commentor. LOOK EVERYONE, THIS GUY IS ABOVE ALL OF US!!! we're just stupid fucks who call this song a song while this highly evolved person recognizes it as a piece. thank god we have this guy to let us know the error in our ways

[Azlaier]

@adamwiesner1 Glad I could help. :)

[Lenneh8sutube]

@Azlaier haha

[Alfgard1]

@adamwiesner1 And he's right.

[Smokedancer123]

@Azlaier It is a piece of a song?

[cubanbach]

SONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG????­? Are you able to read the TITLE of the PIECE????????????? Is anyone singing? geezzzzzz

[TheDecadant]

@Azlaier odd, i find myself singing it all the time :)

[mehitchcock]

@Azlaier if calling them songs helps more people access the classics, it's best to let it be. Mahler probably would just smile and say, "Yeah, I like that song too," being more happy that people are still listening to it years after his death and knowing what they mean.

[lollollol189]

I just happened to stumble upon Shutter Island while flipping through tv channels and I immediately fell in love with this song. :D

[peet19622009]

Hauntingly Beautiful, Captivating

[giovitab]

this was the best thing that came out of Shutter Island. Beautiful piece...

[n4ch0k1n6]

the only good thing in the movie ...

[death0personified]

@n4ch0k1n6 You didn't like the movie?? Why not? If I may ask...

[n4ch0k1n6]

@death0personified you sure may: it's just the fact, that the plot of the movie is way too obvious to enjoy it. Sure, some minor details may seem surprising, but the overall performance is really not worth actors like DiCaprio or Ben Kingsley. IMHO its just about the music.

[bahramf]

Whoever pressed the dislike button, please explain yourself!

[jazzdamans]

@bahramf

might be mahler's contemporaries that didn't like much of his works!

[bahramf]

@jazzdamans So? What does that have to do with your or another person's opinion of him?

[lo888a]

Any chances of getting this on score?

[DarkKnight2521]

This is an excellent piece and I think it was very appropriate how they used it in shutter island

[rodrigorosatoalves]

Bravíssimo!

[cappadinoceo]

dis sht sounds like a haunted house...

[missblissfuloblivion]

wonderful piece of music

[scheise20]

what's happening with that 1 guy? he should be sent to Shutter Island for the thumb down....

[ArtDude247]

@scheise20 Spoken like the sanest man on EARTH!

[chinook654]

@scheise20

there are just some people with no taste in music, i wouldnt worry.

[ariastoteles]

Bravo, my dear Mahler!

[iLaurenlee]

Thank you Shutter Island, for introducing me to classical music

[cncnnirvana4ever]

@iLaurenlee its not classical. its romantic my friend.

[avalanche183]

@cncnnirvana4ever We don't need to be picky now :)

[acmedressform]

@cncnnirvana4ever pretentious

[jaralleras]

@cncnnirvana4ever classical music is the name given to baroque, classical-period, romantic, contemporary, etc. music....

[benerdhal]

I love this ..I lissen everyday..

[JohnnyRip1]

Only some, might consider ME criminally insane.....but # 129 here for "the calm that soothes the past dramas".

[lclakacro]

I love this piece with all my heart, but wth is up with the super wide vibrato in the beginning?

[Drogba315]

126 people like it!

[chobeskate]

bravo bravo

[xdiminished5thsx]

This sounds like Brahms piano concerto.

[coz734]

is there anyone who came here NOT because of shutter island :)

[LuisitoGarcia]

@coz734 me

[coz734]

is there anyone who came her NOT because of shutter island :)

[DoNotFuckingReply]

@coz734 Not me!

[evgueni61]

Shutter Island, what a movie ! ... I wonder which is worst ? To live as a monster or to die as a good man ?.....

[pennerdwo]

I'm related to mahler ;)

[Ejexion]

@pennerdwo : Really? To what extent?

[pennerdwo]

@Ejexion my grandfather was the cousin of someone called Felix Mahler who lived in Bohemia and moved to switzerland when the war started, because of course he was jewish and as far as I know Felix Mahler was Gustav's nephew

[Ejexion]

@pennerdwo : Excellent! It's entirely possible; after all, we all come from somewhere, and some of us are bound to be related to some great people.

[vivace737]

@pennerdwo

cookie for you....retard

[AppleFritter809]

@pennerdwo I'm Jewish, and my great grandfather was a Jewish man named Frederick Kaufmann. He migrated from Bohemia to the USA. He was born in the exact same town as Gustav Mahler. They were both born in Kaliste, Bohemia. I would guess Gustav Mahler is probably a very distant cousin of me, like a 6th cousin or something, because of where they were were born, and there would likely be a distant connection if you go back over the generations just like Bush and Kerry. This is just a theory.

[pennerdwo]

@AppleFritter809 very nice , so if you're distantly related to him, means that we are very distant related too.

[AppleFritter809]

@pennerdwo I don't know that I am related to Mahler. All I said was that I would speculate that I probably share a common ancestor with Mahler if you go back several generations. That being said, I would speculate that I am probably a very distant cousin of you, regardless of Mahler. Because we both have Jewish ancestors from Bohemia that probably lived fairly close to each other, me and you probably share a common ancestor if you go back many generations. This also just a guess. No proof.

[Camelliasilensis]

I've just seen Shuter Island and I'm here listening to Mahler... Crazy.

[Camelliasilensis]

I've just seen Shuter Island and I'm here listening to Mahler... Crazy.

[yngwiethebest]

questo è un tocco puro di tardo romanticismo che fa rabbrividire per la sua bellezza

[MazieMe]

This is so pretty :) Thanks for uploading.

[bananawariourpoop]

same here. just watched shuter island. love the switch of intensity at 1:16 its my favoriote part

[MrLiky123456]

where can I download it?

[ariastoteles]

WoW! A new Mahler in his youth!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece!

De Mega Lux

[btdown]

Heard this on Shutter Island and came to give a shout-out!

[TheSamara89kitten]

@btdown me too :)

[jimqa2]

epic epic epic epic

[arebot22]

anyone know where i can dl this??

[Vendetta5246]

deserves more views...

[pppccclll]

Gustav mahler is the most prolific, inspiring, enigmatic composer to date. In a subjective attempt to analyze his predecessors, I believe that he reflected on his personal struggles more than any of them.

[ankaZurek]

he's a genius! !

[mrgkmu]

simply sublime...so powerful and moving

[Aresholewins]

the one chose this piece for shutter island is a genius， it fits the scene perfectly.

[pispikaki]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!PERFECT!

[JonnyLightning]

I feel bad I had never found this earlier, Herr Mahler does beautiful work

[angelwithgunz]

Dieses Lied ist einfach wundervoll (:

[nicky15e]

It's great! After watching Shutter Island I found this.:P

[HelloHalo117]

After watching Shutter Island, I've been listening to this almost non-stop. It's beautiful.

[ellpantalones]

@HelloHalo117 i've been doing the same thing! this is one of the best pieces of music i have ever heard.

[Pianistiak]

@HelloHalo117 I was doing the same :)

[ArtDude247]

@HelloHalo117 Yey, and I feel sad that many great artist, writer, actors, dancers, and musicans were killed, and that we may never know there many great tallents.

[rodrigorosatoalves]

@HelloHalo117 YES! The perfect piece for that scene in Dachau.

[N1GGERACH1]

@HelloHalo117 agreed. i can't believe the movie never won an award.

[HelloHalo117]

@N1GGERACH1 I'm surprised that Shutter Island got such little notice. It got zero awards for anything and I didn't even hear it mentioned about a month after it was released. Damn shame.
