Maybe the most beautiful music ever

The sound level is too low, turn your volume up!

Gustav Mahler: The last 10 minutes from the Finale of his 10th Symphony.

That symphony is unfinished, only a torso. Written in 1910/ 1911. The Mahler-experts Deryck Cook and Berthold Goldschmidt created this performing version of that torso, you're listening here. Performed by the Berliner Sinfonieorchester, the conductor is Kurt Sanderling.

For me the whole symphony, especially the Finale, is the most beautiful music ever known. That last 10 minutes start after a shocking dissonant climax of bitterness, when the strings and horns turn the hard emotions down again.

I prefer "An ending - Ascent" by Brian Eno. I have no other opinions, yours are more important.

I agree that Mozart is very beautiful, but for me Renaissance polyphonic choral music is more deserving of this title.... Byrd, Palestrina, Tallis, Gesualdo, Josquin, etc....

i truely hope that the list is only made up of classical music. since classical music is the *best* genre of music. most complex structures, deepest thoughts, most interesting history, absolutely msot beautiful sounds

I didn't say you weren't entitled to your opinion. I was just saying that most worst doesn't make sense.

keep your complaints to yourself and if you don't like it then don't watch it it is simple as that. And it is petty beautiful

[HOT923LosAngeles]

It's my opinion,  which I am entitled to. It is too loud to relax and go to sleep too. This is what are you meant to listen to: youtube.com/watch?v=wQAjeN2iy9­U

Maybe the most worst grammar ever!

This would be awesome in an old space movie.

[MrPot42]

it would be beautiful if it was played technically well. the intonation is in several moments absolutely shocking. like that, it just sounds flat and pathetic.

you should listen to the berlin philharmonic recording with simon rattle!
