  • This is my favorite recording of this incredible work, nothing gets lost and the sound is just immense. The final section brings me to tears every time I hear it

  • "The more I get to know this piece, the more I believe in it." This really speaks to me: this music, inseparably from its philosophical meaning (how can it be otherwise, with Mahler?) has come to be an important part of my own personal sense of cosmology, of how the world works and what it means.

  • A wonderful interpretation of this magnificent work! It's a profoundly moving musical experience.

  • Oh yeah! They are unbearable; I find myself outbursting too.

  • I'm so used to Bernstein that the different tempi here are a bit of a shock, particularly the brisk pace of the orchestral passage immediately after the choral climax. "Oh the difference between man and man." But both Rattle and Bernstein are, of course, real men in this music.

  • Yeah, "Oh my god!!! Holy shit!!!": I always find myself talking like this at these Mahler moments. This is what life is for, these moments.

  • The tension at 8:57 is unbearable!!!! Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you, Maestro Rattle!

  • I couldn't agree more with Maestro Rattle regarding the two sopranos soaring over the chorus in the final stanza of the work. Absolutely beautiful; if fact it has to be the single most beautiful passage in the work.
