  • The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is truly a match for the Amsterdam, Berlin and Vienna orchestra's. Bernard Haitink understands Mahler like no one does, and still is one of the most 'beautifull' conductors to watch. This is a great Mahler! Thanks BBC!

  • Absolutamente extraordinario. Todo en su sitio. Una orquesta radiante, dúctil, exacta y un Haitink perfecto traductor de Mahler. Comparable a las mejores versiones de Bernstein o Horenstein y a su propia lectura con el Concertgebouw.

  • This is Mahler at his most frantic and intense - but then, I love this symphony for just that!

  • p.s. to previous: (re: Barber Violin Concerto: check out Joshua Bell and David Zinman/Baltimore)

  • (to AJHyoton) Rafe VW 3 or 5. And in concertos: Korngold or Barber violin are beginning to get more exposure now. Korngold & Barber were GREAT writers (major league). (Check out Renaud Capucon-Yannick-Rotterdam on EMIclassics, beyond awesome re: the Korngold). With all due respect to Mahler`s very-hard-work-ethic and his occasional grand slam home run, he is like a doubleA ballplayer (refer to evaluation by no less than Richard Strauss)

  • @babycmamasavant when so much other seldom performed and more deserving music needs a hearing ??

    Like what?

  • @malcolmcolemann

    I agree. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is his perfect instrument for this masterpiece.

  • Brilliantly played, recorded and filmed. Perfection!

  • These are amongst the most accomplished & beautiful of orchestral players on the planet.

    I can pay riveted attention to them even if they were washing the dishes, but when it comes to Mahler I can bite my tongue no further.

    Why are huge resources expended on this hack-y writer when so much other seldom performed and more deserving music needs a hearing ??

    The CBA should have an option to allow these players to sub-out if Mahler is programmed (I know a few of them will laugh at this)
