The conductor is absolutely in complete control of this great work, his expressions and gestures plus the fact that he has memorized this symphony is not only amazing but brilliant as well Bravo !!!!!
I'm not qualified to say whether this is the greatest composed symphony of all time, ( an extravagant claim, but I respect your thinking so ), but I cannot stop listening to it, or get it out of my mind. It's probably my favourite symphony.
I love how Eschenbach begins that main theme after the intro in such a slow, and rather ponderous manner...as if Mahler could not get his footing himself before walking across some field and pondering nature's beauty. For many years, I really didn't know what to make of this conductor, but I recently listened to his Bruckner 2 with one of the Berlin orchestras,...amazing....he is a real conductor to be reckoned with. I love his interpretations!
The Orchestra of Paris brought all the beauty and power of Mahler to one it's finest performances. Thank you to Chistoph Eschenbach. And thanks to all for the wonderful cinematogrphy.
Божественно! Высочайший уровень исполнения гениального произведения великого Малера! Всегда восхищалась французской исполнительской школой! Данная интерпритация - одно из идеальных достижений великолепных музыкантов и выдающегося дирижёра!
Bravo les cordes et le trompette solo un alsacien d'origine Tout cela est remarquable .Félicitations à tous les musiciens qui sont ce qu'il y a de mieux en france avec l'orchestre national bien sur mais c'est le même niveau d'excellence
He was one of them, but Bernstein, Haitink, Tenndstedt, Abbado and Maazel from years ago and currently Dudamel Alsop and several others are in the running as well! I love this symphony in many people.s opinion it is the best first symphony of all time. I,ve listen to two hundred performances of this great work and it is incredible to hear especially if you are lucky to hear it live! Mahler was a genius he composed 10 symphonies in his short 51 years of life Bravo !!!!!
