  • A number of pieces make me cry at the end, but this is the only one that I can think of that makes me cry at the beginning.

  • Neongrapes, me thinks you are aurally-challenged -- or deaf, perhaps? -- to denigrate Mahler's music as elevator music. I have yet, in my travels the world over, to encounter at the airports, hotels etc. the music of this sublime composer emanating from the puny speakers at these places. Yes, muzak aplenty from Clayderman and such, but never once this transcendental music of Mahler. sd goh (malaysia)

  • My first time listening to this piece ever. The first of many.

  • Can anyone tell me what time and what part Mahler's amazing 9 note chord is in? It is pierced by a trumpet, an extremely powerful moment in music in general

  • What year's this recording from?

  • @Tokkemon I indeed also hear E flat, but I also hear that here on youtube occasionally, for example in some organ pieces of Bach. For the frequency you multiply by 2^(1/12) so 466 Hz.

  • @Tokkemon The VPO uses A443.

  • @Tokkemon i just listen to these symphonies because i just like the purity...m an illetrate about music.... but you guys seem like the masters....my god!! bravo man for such a good knowledge.

  • Completely new soundcolours, coming closer to atonality in some points.... Unbelievable, very mature piece of work....

  • esplode l'inquietudine 2:55

  • @Tokkemon I think in germany they use 444, in italy we use 442

  • @goofyreligion3 ...You said it brother. At a London performance Pierre Boulez stationed a live cow complete with bells at the side of the stage, so it seems ...wonder whether he got the desired effect? We once had a Mahler Society in Kuala Lumpur and even invited Benjamin Zander, who was down to conduct the Mahler Ninth with the Malaysian Philharmoniker, to give us a little talk. It was absolutely rewarding. Long live the immortal music of Mahler!
