This was my introduction to Mahler. I was 12, standing at the kitchen sink doing the dishes one evening, when I heard this coming from our hifi enthusiast neighbour's window. It was so beautiful and moving to me that I found myself holding my breath to hear it better. My neighbour kindly obliged me with a cassette copy, and so began my lifelong love of Mahler's music. I grew up in a working class Australian town where classical music was only heard in television ads, if at all, so I will always be grateful for that happy accident of being in the right place, at the right moment, to discover something so wonderful and precious, that has been a source of joy and comfort and beauty for almost forty years. PS, when the neighbours moved to Canada a few years later, they left me the vinyl LP as a parting gift. Thank you W and L!
One of the most beautiful master pieces of music ever written. It speaks to my heart, my emotions and my aspirations to share this experience with as many as possible. Should be a must-do for every stressed person to sit down and take a bath in the fabulous Mahler sound.
I've always been fascinated in this.sublime work by what happens at c. 9:16: Woodwinds... flute, oboe, and clarinet, in unison create the most beautiful, almost unidentifiable timbre as they move up and down the registers where. on or the other dominates slightly... a wonderfully silvery timber in this obligatto line that floats above the strings. Heavenly.
Fra le molteplici interpretazioni di questa sinfonia troverete quella di Abbado, stranamente per me, non in vetta alle classifiche dei critici. Eppure, questo movimento, se eseguito con tempi più veloci risulterebbe impoverito nella sua sostanza, più lento si trasformerebbe in qualcosa di pedissequo. C'è un amore universale che ci pervade e ci attraversa, niente di eclatante, ma assolutamente pervasivo. Siamo fatti per amare ed essere amati da tutto quello che ci circonda... in un rapporto scambievole e "stranamente" eterno... non so perché ma in Mahler c'è abbondanza di tutto questo.
QUANDO SENTO IL PROFONDO ESSER-CI DI MAHLER, NON HO PIU' CONDIZIONAMENTI. L'EMOZIONE E LA SINTESI DI CIO' CHE ERA IL SUO PENSIERO MUSICALE IRROMPONO NELLA VITA, PERVADENDOLA.......
This video is exquisite and encapsulates, in many ways, what I’m unable to express the deep emotions I feel whenever I listen to this part of Mahler’s 3rd symphony. I thank you so much for creating this.
At the risk of seeming thoroughly ungrateful, I wish the creators of this glorious video hadn't decided to display photos of Mahler at the bottom corners of the screen. They didn't do this when creating other magical videos to accompany the sublime music. The photography is stunning but for me at least, it could have been even more effective.
Questa sinfonia mette insieme tutto il creato ho letto e ciò la rende strepitosa secondo me.....anche in senso di durata dato che delle sinfonie di Mahler è la più lunga
Yes.....Love, true 💘... Is Written in a BOOK OF PROPHECY which Reads that We will make man in our image... Genesis 1:26... Let US Make MAN IN OUR IMAGE... THE HOLY BIBLE IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND IT IS TIME FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW THAT IT IS TIME TO FULFILL THE WORD.... SING ZION....SING
Does anyone have any feeling that the recording may be distorted and slower than normal- I simply cannot believe Abbado held that last chord so long. Seems a bit artificial? Just wondering.
