Gustav Mahler
Leonard Bernstein
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

"I believe it to be not only his last but also his greatest achievement" (Otto Klemperer)

"Once again I have played through the first movement of Mahler's ninth symphony. The first movement is the most heavenly thing Mahler ever wrote. It is the expression of an exceptional fondness for this earth, the longing to live in peace on it, and to enjoy nature to its depths—before death comes" (Alban Berg)

"The Resignation might well have been used as the title of the ninth symphony. The first movement grew to be a tragically moving and noble paraphrase of the farewell feeling. A unique soaring between farewell sadness and a vision of heavenly light" (Bruno Walter)

"A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything" (Gustav Mahler)

    It's really neat to know that someone that young gets something valuable from this work.

  • @pepperzmintz I hate you.

  • The hardest song i ever listen and play in the orchestra, but not for my play....

  • Maybe I'm too old to post something here (25 and getting younger :)... But I had too share this with you.

    The ninth of Mahler tells me of the realm of spiritual... when the physical form returns "Home". I have never crossed an artist, a creator of such capacity not only to "know" such truth but also convey this truth threw music. It is a true bliss. The beautiful clip "Journey to the Edge of the Universe" (by "sooner14) sychronised very well with this great piece

  • Mahler 9 breaks my heart.

  • guy's im still an embryo and this music is the shit.

  • This music touched me, too! So I called the cops.

  • young people should listen to more of these beautiful music not just the usual mainstream less-than-pleasant-disturbing-­lyrical songs about God knows what.

    and get this, I'm only 16. Hate me all you want.

  • @bertiethetoupee4 haha you win, bastard.

  • @maxabeles Your reading and language abilities are off the chart for being just a toddler.

  • Back in my day we didn't have them damnedable cellular phones and no one interrupted our symphony
