@AltoNicoRuso the mess up was ever so slight and it was the french horns.

Though this was a rather fantastic performance, did anyone else hear the trumpets mess up around 1:54 - 1:55? o.O

Gosh ... We here get an insight to the depth of preparations... I go to a Concert and only see the "Final Result" ... This is something new ... and Mahler to top it... My heartfelt thanks ... Runi ...
