  • Bad performance by orchestra, bad conductor, BUT what a magnificent performance by Waltraud Meier! Giant 3rd Symphony halts for focussing on needed reflecting thoughts. At this Lied (yes it's one of Mahler's greatest Lieder!) time stands still and music has to flow without any development, only to express together with singer these deep thoughts. Waltraut Meier's great performance knows about these requirements, too bad orchestra/conductor don't have same level.

  • @mmarks4 yes, by her facial expressions she pointed up every important word at this philosophical poem telling us Nietzsche's thoughts about mankind

  • Her face is so expressve. Watch her on "tief"!

  • Others ave said it here, but ... What's up with the oboe?

  • Meier is also fantastic - what an incredible musician

  • Podles forever in this piece - no one catches the darkness and ultimate depression of the vocal color better than Podles

  • What is going on with the pseudo-jazz business in the woodwinds? Those are supposed to be bird calls (if we choose not to ignore Mahler's rescinding the programmatic aspects of his work), not some kind of "le jazz hot" ugliness. Yikes.

  • This is soo amazing..Mahler is genius..Meier is divine..

  • @2002kissmate It has been done. I just listened to it. Not a bad job.

  • A very heartfelt performance. The orchestra overall is in excellent form, and the mezzo soloist is in top form.

    Two negative comments - the repeated attempts by the double reeds (oboe and English horn) to insert a rather ugly portamento into their upward two note phrase can really spoil it, at least for me. Also note that at the very end, the last bass octave on the low A is cut off.
