A German composer who worked in Nazideutschland at that time wrote a piece that could almost have been composed by Leonard Bernstein. Music doesn 't know any borders.

This work of Mahler had been used as example in the italian youtube cultural video "Lezioni di Musica - Survivorship Bias" of the channel "musicamonteverde". A really very very interesting video.

TAKE THE GOOD RESOLUTIONS medium.com/@JacquesCoulardeau/take-the-good-resolutions-8bd6981f5f1d Let's enjoy some extreme trips to the far side of our daily life. You will first meet Lord Byron and his "Manfred", and then Robert Schumann and his own "Manfred" sung here by Dennis Laubenthal in German. Then I will take you on a complete retrospective of "Prison Break," including the fifth and final season. The next stop will be in Germany and you will discover the great music of Franz Graw in his CD "Wir kaufen die Welt" and his reflection on globalism. It is refreshing to have imperialistic globalism exposed without any bombs, Kalashnikovs and other killing devices. We will then move to the BBC, hence to Britain and discover the series "Criminal Justice" and its two seasons, in fact, two cases of miscarriage of justice even if in the end the innocent man is freed and the not guilty woman is sent to prison for five years. That's British Brexit justice. And to conclude I will take you to the music of the Grateful Dead, "Shakedown New York," as a tribute of the fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock and they (who is they, who knows?) have announced they will celebrate this event grandiosely.

Bravi. Is this the entirety of the performance? Very compelling and moving. Reminded me of the works of Tan Dun and Ginestera at times. Of course, the singing by Domingo and Keinan-Ofri was spellbinding. Mehta is another of my favorite conductors, brilliant and inspired. I could understand the parts spoken/sung in Spanish but not the Hebrew. It was lovely to see Domingo perform again in Israel, I'm sure it was very special for him and Marta. Added to a playlist. Mil gracias por compartir.
At 23:38, the mechanical dinosaur slowly exits the stage ... But seriously, this is a valiant effort at an incredibly difficult staging (I imagine) - so many voices that you actually have a second conductor cueing for the horns at the high tiers, something I didn't notice till now. The ISO sound is bright, and the quavers have very nice high and low register textures. The horns are crisp. The soloists are quite nice. The choirs are very enthusiastic and serious, unlike a number of Western choirs who have done this piece, not that you have to be serious, but I'm sure it helps with the blending. Great, great, performance! Anyway thanks Noam Sheriff for posting this.
I sang this piece myself as a member of the ''Choir of the Netherlands Dance Theater''' when we were in Israel in November 1987. Same wonderful orchestra and The conductor then was David Porcelijn. Malovany was singing too, the baritone part and the reciting was done by Lieuwe Visser.
