@MHindemburg, seriously? You have to be joking!

[classicalchristina]

Wow, the musicians really move with the music, don't they?

[tissueowen]

Simon Rattle is a great Mahlerist of all time

[robpmusic]

@MHindemburg At 0:28, those accents are in fact in the finale edition of the score (Universal Edition). The string entry at 2:00 is thematic, and should be more present, whereas the violin solo is an ornamental line (and foreshadows the second movement).

@MHindemburg Fair enough - everyone has their own opinions. Just, it isn't Rattle's orchestration...:P

[AlanHemenway]

@classicalchristina Of course!!! They are European; not like American orchestras.

[MHindemburg]

@mortalfrog0815 In 2:00 the strings are sounding in mf, so the violin passage is like interrupted with noise. I could saying a lot of morte things but I don't really want to.

[MHindemburg]

@sahand144 I miss Karajan too :,(

And @mortalfrog0815 Let's see..., you want qualified comments. Oh dear! Where do I start. First, in Tempo. It's too damn fast, you barely can hear the little triangle's percussions because the metals erase their sound. Also, the orchestration; in 0:28 you can hear the horrible orchestration of Rattle. ¿What are those accents? They're not in the score. Right there, after the silence you hear sfffz and not crescendo, as it should be.

[sahand144]

@MHindemburg I miss Karajan

[mortalfrog0815]

@MHindemburg this is your second comment on this video, your message has not changed. and even though i agree with you that abbado is an outstanding conductor, rattle is everything but an aggravation for the philharmoniker! please stop this nonsense and start making qualified comments...

[MHindemburg]

Oh, dear, I can't stand Rattle. And I'm not joking, he's the worst conductor in the Berliner Philharmoniker ever. I miss Claudio Abbado =(

[noirvalentin]

1:15 what a beautiful cellist....

[dzhang122]

@goodmanmusica What do you mean? Could you be more specific?

[leoncioviolin]

GREAT

[Linchetto68]

Un esecuzione meravigliosa.

[iOnlySignIn]

Hopefully there's No.8 and Das Lied von der Erde as well?

[OlavoBLFilho]

Expressive, Bright. Very delicately. Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, and Horn's extraordinary Mr Stephan Dorhn. Greetings from Brazil. Congratulations Sir Simon Rattle and BerlinPhil.

[vickylovsmusic]

AWESOME i love EVERY single MOMENT of it <3

[SYSREV76]

MAGNÍFICO *****

[goodmanmusica]

@hihasisa

no. in the "scherzo" the concertmaster has to play a violin with strings that are

tuned in a different way

[hihasisa]

the concertmaster changed another violin when he's playing the solo parts?

[WhiteNitE521]

@classicalchristina How could you not with something this gorgeous?

@macintosh315

Don't know why they use different systems but the trumpets you see here use rotary based valves like the ones most commonly made on french horns. The trumpets in America uses piston valves. Players using either ones need to get used to their counter parts. The german trumpet valves are faster to work with.
