1/4 What The Universe Tells Me (GREAT Documentary on Mahler's 3rd Symphony)

This is one of the best documentaries I've seen about any piece of music or composer.

Amazon's official review reads: "What the Universe Tells Me is probably the deepest, most painstakingly detailed but also approachable attempt to decipher the inner dynamics of a complex work of art ever entrusted to any recording medium". Bold statement, but I certainly agree with it.

I'm not trying to rip anyone by posting this. On the contrary, I try to promote this work and I really encourage anyone to buy this DVD. With the DVD you'll also get an hour long extras on various subjects ("The artist as a prophet" concept, the premiere, Mahler's relationship with the public, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, The Youth's Magic Horn songs) and the full performance of the 3rd that is featured in the documentary.

By the way, the same director (Jason Starr) is preparing a similar documentary about Mahler's 2nd symphony, called "The resurrection of Gustav Mahler"

Thanks for uploading this. I've always loved Mahler. I've studied Nietzsche. I just recently discovered Schopenhauer. What serendipity to find this documentary to see how they all connect.

Beautiful study! My favorite symphony. Love Mahler. So appropriate that Mahler's philosopher was the great Shopenhauer.

Sorry to be so pessimistic here guys but Benjamin Zander's essay on this symphony is a lot more informative, accurate, and self-fulfilling.
