  • @jin12345678 Strange,what I am hearing is laughter through tears ,even in this movement....

  • @rihannalover93 but then there is the finale rondo which is one of the happiest movements in classical music.

  • Still....depressing music...

    

  • ahhhh the tympani at 0:30, followed by that inspired horn lick that comes out of nowhere

  • @now5230 Strong words indeed. I think that you'd have a hard time convincing many people with this statement.

  • @1337evan me too!

  • reinhold friedrich is THE BEST principal trumpet player of any orchestra that ever exited. sorry bud herseth...

  • The cymbal crash at 1:21 is the best part ... otherwise, the performance is so- so. Whats's better? Zubin Mehta LA Phil 1976 is the best (tho' the recording engineers of that excellent performance did not record that cymbal crash loud enough). Other (better-than-Abbado) performances of Mahler 5 are: Solti/CSO/1970 and Levine/Philadelphia/1977.
