love to see my father playing the violin 👏🏼, wonderful footage

The ending of the whole thing deservedly gets talked about the most, what what about that ending of the 1st movement!!

This is the music of the beauty and sadness of life mixed into one singularity. Nothing else fills me with such strong feelings of both enlightenment and fulfillment emotionally and intellectually while giving me such despair and tragedy to the point that I can come back to this work every day and feel like my heart and soul merge with my body and mind so perfectly every time, like some form of twisted ecstasy…nothing compares to Mahler’s heavenly music.

Good grief! How many ads can they squeeze in at awful moments in this wonderful video. Completely ruins the arc of the entire production.

I've once heard this symphony live - it is undeniably one of a lifetime expirience. The level of exexcitement was so extreme, that I couldn't make myself stand up and applause, my body felt so numb and exhausted, that I couldn't even breathe properly and my vision went black for a couple of seconds. So yeah, Mahler is pretty dangerous to listen live😎

the finale is probably what you hear when you enter the heaven

One of the oldest videos, but surely one of the most authentic and emotional ever. Bravo to Bernstein!

I have heard the 8th symphony in so many recordings, but this is my favorite- breathtaking!

Vienna's University Philharmonic is performing this in Vienna in May 2024, I'm so excited to be part of it! It hasn't been performed in Vienna in 7 years. Our choir teacher always says it's not done often anymore because it's too expensive to do with professionals and too difficult to do with amateurs. And we're somewhere in the middle 😄 we did Mahler 2nd 4 years ago and it was my favourite piece that we ever performed. I have Mahler stuck in my head 24/7 and I'm not even mad about it any more 😂

As Mahler said, “these are no longer human voices.” Here is the Universe sounding and resonating its harmony, its power.

Avevo poco più di 14 anni, ero in platrea con mio padre. Alla fine fui colto dalla classica sindrome di Stendhal e durante gli applausi mi accasciai sulla seggiola e piansi a dirotto!

ive sung both the 8th at San Franscisco Symphony and the 2nd with Philadephia Orchestra---by far the most emotional and moving is the 2nd!

Has this version been released anywhere in commercial format? Or is this footage the only thing featuring it? The hunt has been driving me mad for years so just asking out of curiosity.

Certo che la pubblicità che interrompe ogni 5 minuti è una gran porcheria!

I had to watch 18 ads in the duration of this symphony! A disgrace for setting ads on this video! A big shame!!!!!

これは、グラモフォンでCD化された1975年8月31日のザルツブルグ音楽祭の名演の直後、9月に行われた演奏を録画したもの。 バーンスタインのパフォーマンスはザルツブルグで完全燃焼した後だけに、最上のコンディションとは言いがたい。得意の指揮台の上でのジャンプも演奏とタイミングが合わなかったり、第一部のクライマックス近くで、ソプラノが一小節遅れで歌っていたり(スコアがないのできちんと確認できていないが)、どうも締まらない。ウィーン・フィルのことなので、多分ザルツブルグの時とは団員の面子はかなり入れ替わっているのだろうが、音楽祭の時と比べるとオーケストラの音のテンションが段違いに低いと感じてしまう。 もし、ザルツブルグ音楽祭での演奏の映像が残せたなら、ロンドン交響楽団との「復活」より見応えのあるものになっただろうに。

Could they cram any more ads into this video? Don't bother with the symphony. Just show the ads!

번스타안과 말러는 죽이 척척맞는 천재로 밖에 볼수없다

Last time i saw this recording it had over 1mil views what happened?

First time- that was insane

1:15:20

I didn't know he conducted this one too

Spettacolare, un Capolavoro.❤❤ Grandissimo Bernstein , Meravigliosi tutti.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hermann Prey is the best Pater Ecstaticus I have ever heard - such power

This Jewish composer understood the german romantic soul more than any other artist! i LOVE THIS SYMPHONY...

Thx for HQ videos...

Spectacular Bernstein!

Muchas Gracias por compartir esta grabación histórica.

The start around 27:00 reminds me of a part of his fourth symphony, third movement.

I realize that the title is an exaggeration. But has the symphony ever actually been performed by 1000 people?

Awesome. But boy is that organ out of tune!
