  • i think he is best in mahler, debussy and messian

  • @MrRaph87 - C'est ce que me disais. Il y a une correspondance forte entre Mahler, Rilke et T.S.Eliott

  • @czechmusic

    TS Eliott?

  • @yiyang522

    T.S.Eliott. Exactly. Regards from Europe

  • great !

  • Como si a la conciencia se le agotasen sus fuerzas y su llama se extinguiese lenta y sabiamente resignada, así es como lo que estuvo vivo, se desintegra, muere o se transforma. Gracias Mahler por permanecer con nosotros en vuestra música.

  • @11000001100000 I don't think it's meant to be 'enjoyed' as such. Considering what Mahler had gone through and was still going through, I've always seen this symphony and particularly it's ending as embodying the painful numbness experienced after something incredibly traumatic; the ending is utterly devoid of 'tune' for a reason. Just my interpretation.

  • I'm having trouble enjoying this symphony compared with his 2, 5, 6 or 8. It reminds me of what Hanslick said of Bruckner: "dismal longwindedness", almost like Schoenberg in its tunelessness.

  • Rainer-Maria Rilke : "Elégies de Duino, I." (extr.)

  • "Et donc je me retiens et ravale l'appel/ d'obscurs sanglots. Ah, de qui pouvons-nous donc/ avoir besoin ? Ni d'anges, ni d'humains,/ et les bêtes ingénieuses voient déjà bien/ que nous ne sommes pas si confiants que cela sous nos toits/ dans l'univers expliqué. Peut-être qu'il nous reste/ quelque arbre sur la pente, où nous pourrions chaque jour/ le revoir ; il nous reste la route d'hier/ et la fidélité mal élevée d'une habitude/ qui s'est bien plu chez nous et n'est pas repartie."
