Young people playing the world's great music. There may be hope for us after all.

It doesn't happen too often, but this interpretation made me cry. I have never heard so much heart in this heavenly music.

[SalmonSticks]

@InstantClubHit stop going around around trying to provoke people into arguments, it's sad that you would even defend the fools who actually disliked this music. In no way did I say that all Americans don't appreciate...I was merely pointing out that the 3 who did dislike, were most likely Americans.

[InstantClubHit]

@SalmonSticks You ought to be beaten with a bassoon for losing focus long enough to post a rant on youtube, then end it with a jab at Americans as if we are incapable of appreciating what you appreciate.

[SalmonSticks]

sorry, but whoever the 3 people are who actually disliked this video need to be beaten to death with a bassoon, for they are the epitome of low IQ possessing, tasteless, obese low-lifes, who sit around with junk food hanging out of their mouths...in all likelihood...AMERICANS

Gustavo Dudamel is an amazing conductor. I have heard Mahler's symphony 2 several times, but this performance is truly outstanding. It has made me highly emotional.

[GeoGis13]

Amazing performance... absolutely amazing... I wish I had been able to be there, it brought tears to my eyes.

[MrCigarman75]

Aah, the bravado and exuberance of youth. Sadly, this will be the greatest performance of these precious young people's lives as it's all downhill from here.

“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side". - Hunter S. Thompson.

@pianomatteo Not only is Anna crying but Miah Perssons has tears in her eyes throughout the performance. Also, I saw two men in the orchestra wiping tears off their faces at the end of the performance. This is the most beautiful music that I have ever listened to. Praise The Lord!

[pianomatteo]

Anna Larson crying. The soloist...breaking down over the performance. This is landmark work with these young people, I don't care what any says about Dudamel, he's on to something so powerful that everyone ought to take an hour to sit down and watch one of the most inspiring displays of expression in art and learn a thing or two. Bravo SBSOV, Maestro Dudamel,NYCGB, and the two soloists!

[powe2550]

One of the best performances of Mahler 2 that I've ever heard. Wow.
