I hope the trumpeter from 1:08-1:40 was fired. Shame on him for missing pitches.

@bc22233 If you knew how difficult this symphony was, you wouldn't be saying that.

@bradpint, give me this "clown" (the clown or wayfarer being close to the Mahler spirit) over that stock fraud Gilbert Kaplan waving his goddamn arms in front of orchestras he's bribed!! You attack Bernstein for being a real man who tried to bring light to this tormented earth and who's sweating tears of blood up there! His support for the Black Panthers? The Black Panthers were right! You shouldn't be even listening to Mahler!

@spinoza1111 Dude, chill or I'm removing your comments. Might even block you if you push it.

Berstein conducts and Mahler smiles.

We are privileged to have the genius of both preserved.

Wow ! This is beautiful.....I remember this part was used in The Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens along with George Seferis' poem "Mythistorema 3". Words can not describe the feeling I had that night.....

@Tokkemon i mean, it helps that its the shortest symphony in the classical repertoire too..

I'm undecided about which symphony ending moves me more. Shostakovich 7 or Mahler 3... I've passed out to both of them because I don't breathe, so I don't disturb the music... it's perfect. There's no other way to describe it.

[VladekMeyer83]

Now THAT is how you end a symphony. :)

[hostajohn1]

Absolutely brilliant.

@bc22233 At 1:52 one of them missed a note entirely! Meanwhile, last night I attended Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony's 100th Season opening performance of this Mahler symphony and the SFS presented No. 3 masterfully, with many curtain calls and a long standing ovation--and this was a Wednesday night! What an incredible Symphony; and it was the first time I'd heard it with the "kinder chorus", the soprano, etc. What an evening. Wish I could attend this Saturday's finale!

@Tokkemon

True!!!

@Buffalufacus No, mistakes don't make someone a bad player. But he should not be playing with this ensemble if he is making multiple fundamental mistakes is his playing as I highlighted.
