@Mahlerialiszt Except Richard Strauss!

Although I like Zubin Mehta's tempi best, I really admire this version. Boulez lets the orchestra play and seems to simply do what is necessary to manage the orchestral sound, balance and timing... and the orchestra sounds great (especially the trumpets)!

I was there for the performance. It was a magical concert and a unforgettable surprise. Thank Mahler, Boulez and orchestra!

Boulez and Abbado have given us the best Mahler 3rds.

@BrainiacFingers: You're spot on concerning Boulez. I'ver performed Mahler before, and the annotations are incredibly detailed. Just follow the score with little interpretation and it will be amazing. No one before or since had command of an orchestra or orchestration like Mahler.

Dudamel is too young for mahler......

I have to agree with the guy who knocked Dudamel. I intensely dislike Dudamel's reading of Mahler. His interpretations are hideously bloated caricatures of the great man's music and make me feel ill whenever I hear them. Boulez's, on the other hand, are never excessive. Mahler's music is intense and impassioned enough without the conductor weeping and wailing and gnashing his teeth all over it. Unlike Dudamel, Boulez sticks to what's in the score and lets the music speak for itself .

Il croit qu'elles, l'orchestre, ne wok seulement pour le public, mais nécessite aussi l'itlsefs mucisian.Peut-être pour cela qu'il est parfois incompris.
An incredible movement from a symphony containing the whole universe

Grande Maestro! Now THIS is a conductor, and how! Please, you slavish, flag waving supporters of Gustavo Dudamel, PLEASE listen to this master and then tell me if you think Dudamel is so superior? This is the greatest thing Mahler ever gave us; it's entitled "What Love Tells Me."
