  • at about 5:55 one of the trumpeters forgot to take out his mute XD

  • @hamletisastud Actually that's written in the score. Trumpets 2 & 3 remove mutes for measure 418 (when the Tam-tam hits).

  • @Tokkemon did one of the trumpets ditch? b/c it looked like there was only one with his mute in

  • @hamletisastud Unknown. Might be one out of frame since the symphony can use as many as 8.

  • I like the horns from 4:30 to 5:00. :-)

  • @agmndg

    Well said. :-) 

  • I think the first and second movements of Symphony No. 2 are the only weak ones that Mahler wrote. The substance of Mvt. 1 is not particularly distinguished, and the treatment attenuates it. It is also far too long for its content. . The Andante is flat and trite, to my mind (and I'm a big Mahler fan). Not even Bernstein can make this music convincing

    However, the last half of the symphony is wonderful.

  • Why are only the harpists women?

  • And no music in front of him...wow

  • The english horn player was excellent. A lesser player would have seriously screwed up the movement. Great job!
