Gustavo Dudamel / SBSOV Mahler: Symphony No. 2 Mov III

A mirror held up to Reality

You were WRONG

Ah yes, the death shriek

@@frankjuggaloheathen1035 Death shriek? Huh?

@@DynastieArtistique It leads up to the death shriek, the chord you hear at 7:52

I think best performance of the 9th is Abaddo 2014 or thereabouts. He held the audience for like 5 minutes in total silence at the end.

"This represents at least a thousand words I was not counting on."

I think I prefer the song version.

Onionman, I had the same reaction. I had a 20th-cent music prof who had us listen and listen to the Berio take on it, so when I finally got to the Mahler work, it seemed bare. Now I don't see it that way, of course. And Clive Goodman, I too like the song version! Music is ceaselessly inventive and moving.

Keep going!

Yes!!! Félix Mendoza and Ramón Granda!

I haven't heard the song version, but keep in mind this movement is a scherzo; it's supposed to be rapid.

@@frankjuggaloheathen1035 . I understand that "scherzo" is Italian for joke. I think that it is funnier if it is played a little more slowly.

Now... check out the 3rd movement of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NW30g2tPmDA.html

@@clivegoodman16 that's not the term for what it means in the classical music sense of things. Scherzo in that sense means lively, rapid, and not holding back.

+Johan Scherft Oh, just Piccolo and Flute's high C sound. That also one part of music.

@@청음E If you look in the miniature score, you'll find it.

it's the ecg machine telling some bad news

Definitely too loud here!
