Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.6 !!!!!HAMMER!!!! 

RIP 😔Triangle

Those four years at Juilliard paid off!

you know its powerful when the triangle in the background falls.

Gustav Mahler Symphony No.6 in A Minor "Tragic Triangle"

Watch the triangle fall off its hanger when the hammer hits the box!

holy crap that bass trombone entrance right after the hammer hits is insane

*raises hammer menacingly

Wow. He nailed it!!!

I love the subtle head nod before he lifts the hammer up the second time.

The best Mahler's Hammer!

Triangle left the chat

Metalheads owe classical music so much

The tragedy is that, as in Romeo and Juliet (and I think of this Shakespeare tragedy when I hear Mahler's Sixth) that a cheap "happily-ever-after" ending always seems possible until the hammer comes down. Then nothing else is possible.

Career goals

The hammer is the only orchestra instrument that requires its player to hit the gym.

I love the chalk or powder they put on it to make it more dramatic

OMG! He makes the dust fly! Reminds me of Donner summoning the weather in Das Rheingold. 'Heda! Heda hedo!' (swings hammer) KLANG!!!

so excited I am seeing this concert in June with Berlin Philharmoniker

Mahler is the wet dream of every horn, trombone, trumpet, euphonium and tuba player. Written by the metal wind wing of the orchestra

Powerful stuff indeed! Well executed by that hammer player & that triangle falling lol! Gustav Mahler's symphonies are certainly powerful & worth a listen & I know Mahler's music is not everybody's cup of tea as some find it somewhat discordant & long winded but his skillful orchestration is something else. My favourite Mahler symphony is his 8th symphony, the 'Symphony of a Thousand' which is just awesome to hear!

It's hammer time, but without the baggy pants.

The timpani roll and then BANG!

"yeah I'm a musician." "what instrument do you play?" "sledgehammer."

Laser powered goblin smasher.

Where is all that DUST coming from?? Nice for those horn players sitting nearby.

I feel the triangle😂🔥🔥🔥

Stunning hammer! You rarely hear them be so effective

Greatest kick i saw even my life

Rip Triangle

"Triangle didn't survived ehr director" Hammerman "the fly too"

I need one of these! Haha!

The aesthetic is fr

The dust. 😬

MC Hammer. Yellow hammer from Alabama. Can’t Touch This.

He really hammered it there , ...

God I love Mahler.

I bet he had to watch dozens of Bugs Bunny cartoons to “nail” this!

Mahlerific!

STOP! Hammer time!

三角鐵：

Why I hear a slap battle God's Hand slap sound? 😮

Symphony for Craftsman Workbench in F sharp minor

Where do you FIND a hammer like that?!

Time for the horn players to change their underpants

Подумать только, самая лёгкая партия и самая тяжëлая техника игры😊.

Could it be that the one with the hammer earns the same as the other musicians?

What time of the symphony does the hammer play?

What orchestra/conductor is this?

Send this to Tank Tolman...Hammer!!!

Welp the conductor is a family friend of mine🤣 I had to do a double take like… GUSTAVO???

All i can think of ..ouch that had to hurt the guy's arm

i want that job at union rate

el martillo se desafinó con el primer golpe

stop! hammertime.

They should do something like that for Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture (since I don't think it's safe to bring a cannon in a concert hall)

😂😂😂

Пригожин с кувалдой промахнулся по голове.

So Mahler manufactured that hammer for the symphony??

2 times ?

Needs more cowbell

Divided violins, with cellos middle left a la Toscanini and Klemperer. Where is the rest?

when bass drum isn't cutting it

Nerfaram o martelo😢

Finale mov't.

How many other people get to dress up in a tux so they can go on stage and swing a gigantic maul? Dream job? 😄

Wouldn’t you just die without Mahler?

Wut

A bit of a let down, that

Bro had one job

Seems like the hammer was a bit too early the first time no??

Stop. Mahler time!

Les "coups de marteau" n'ont JAMAIS vraiment donné le son que Mahler imaginait ... Peut-être faudrait-il une réalisation par ... "l'électronique" ...

The dust was not necessary

Not enough context to convey the drama IMO. And he was EARLY on the second one! Ruined it for me.

Totally useless

Its bit silly to be honest.. this hammer thing is overrated

For all his antics in his symphonies, I find Mahler long-winded, depressing and boring. I don't think there was a day in Gustav's life where he wasn't mad at an orchestra or unhappy. And who names their kid Gustav anyways.
