how strange this symphony is. i think i still don't understand this enven i listen it 100 times. however, there seems something magical that attracts me to listen to it for the 101th, 102th times,.....until the end of my life.

Thank you! I admire people who can feel music as deep as you seem to do and believe there's something behind it.

2nd movement (Adagio) starts 5:20. Abbado doesn't take the traditional sequence of movements, I think Mahler himself changed between 2nd and 3rd mvt.

Thanks for that!

At 5:00 the Andante Moderato begins, one of the greatest Mahler ever wrote. I very much prefer Abbado's (and Mahler's?) sequence of movements to the "traditional" one. This meditative, wistful, passionate slow movement is exactly what is needed after the tormented first.

@svenson03 Actually Mahler kept changing the order. There is debate as to which order is correct, but I prefer this one as it separates the first movement from the Scherzo (there is not much contrast between them).

Dear God, I just bursted into tears at 04:43... The size of it. The fully functional proportions, it simply edges the perception and overcomes it, and yet it is so profoundly homogenous and keeps you awake with your mouth open, not believing. It‘s a torture of the mind, a combination of both foreplay and waiting for an execution - you know the outcome, but the time span is too intense too bear. What did I just say anyway...

[capiem]

But that's wrong! Mahler told Mengelberg that the order should've been allegro-scherzo-andante-finale (Though Mahler himslef, switched the two middle movements at the premiere and at the second performance of the work)...however I love this symphony :) thanks for posting!
