@gpeddino totally! saw the 6th last night in philly and 2secs after the last note, some jerk 3 rows back screams BRAVO. i sure would have preferred a second to breathe.

Curiously, the silence after the end made the piece even more moving.

where s the hammer? they better not used a bass drum--not the same thing!!
-
Maestro Abbado looks so old--he was a swinging Italian guy in the 80's!!

Now I'm stuck. What do you follow this with? More Mahler? Anything cheerful would seem blasphemous, anything mournful would suffer by comparison. I'll just have to stay with the Sound of Silence for a while, until ordinary living resumes...

First time I saw the video I was really moved and impressed by the silence following the most tragic ending in a Mahler (or whoever) symphony... it highlights the high spirit and quality in Mahler's music as well as the recognition to a supreme performance by Maestro Abbado and LFO. It really touches my heart!

Well, thank you very much for the upload.

Silence is both the prerequisite of music, and the state to which it most fittingly aspires.
what an intelligent, sophisticated audience here-- i hate majority of them screaming bravo right after the tragic ending. let the music sink in before yelling out!
