I can never not cry at the finale of this piece. I wish the lyrics were on the screen because they matter so much. I am not religious but that message of hope, that my heart will rise again, that nothing is lost, that I should prepare myself to live once again… that message has gotten me through many rough periods in my life.

[@EzroNightmare]

This symphony is called the symphony of resurrection, it tries to show us what the next life sounds and feels like, in my opinion this symphony also explains how we are able to die not only physically but emotional and mentally and we must rise again, because we’ve come to this world to struggle and fight for what we think we deserve, our goals and ambitions. Stop trembling and prepare yourself to live

[@lom1910]

My god. I never had the willpower to listen to the whole symphony. I never understood why so many people praise this as their favorite piece of music. Today, I finally understood why it is called "Resurrection". I cry very seldom, almost never. I used to think that a piece of music, however beautiful, couldn't evoke strong emotions in me. But when the choir and orchestra climaxed, at the very end of the fourth movement, I started sobbing like a baby. I am so grateful to know about this symphony.

[@ManuelBelli]

Abbado direct without reading a single note. He perfectly knows the entire score, any instrumet part, tempo, expression, sound. He is in total control of the simphony and can move beyond with the orchestra in the realm of MUSIC. That's how the great conductor works.

The guy with a grey coat at 1:23:09 couldn't hold his tears. Even listening at home, I can't hold them myself. At the end of the performance so many of the audience seem to be reacting as if it's a normal song. Their faces seem so bored, but that man really expresses what Mahler wanted for us when listening to his works: It's supposed to move you and your life and to make you leave the concert hall with a different mind and a different heart. I'm so sorry for those who had the unique chance to contemplate it and couldn't engage in such experience.

[@davidjames9935]

I am not a musician and only have a light education in music but I can tell you that music like this takes me to another world it seems. The thing about many other composers are their work is repetitious in a way that the music can be easily remembered (or at least the main motif can). Mahler's work is much more complex than that. A symphony like this has wonderful developmental sections, beautiful quiet passages, "stormy" sections where the tension builds, and explosive climaxes (one of the things I like best about his music and can be heard in its glory as early as the 4th movement of his 1st symphony). I have never heard music so moving in both overall tone and emotional impact as Mahler's works. I can relate to the commenters that state they tear up when listening to Mahler's work. The emotional impact is huge. Luckily I discovered his music early in my life (in my college years) so I was able to enjoy it for decades and still going. Listening to it now as I am typing this. I think if I was at this live concert I would go thru a whole box of tissues. It touches my soul.

[@PerseusQ]

I'm with you on this. I've lived on a diet of punk music, Japanese grindcore, hard and psychedelic rock... and Mahler. I have all his symphonies and return to them often. I've tried the others (I don't mind a bit of Chopin when he's creepy, and I do love Salome by R.Strauss) but Mahler's the only classical composer I collect and listen to. I'm not sure exactly why (I can't describe it musically), but your description above explains a lot.

Differences between fp, accents, sfz, agogic accents, articulation, tempo changes.....everything is just perfect.

The absolute uniformity and contrast of male and female dress codes in the chorus, their symmetrical disposition according to height, and the absence of scores from which to read their parts - all is learned, and perfectly delivered from memory (although the instrumentalists have scores but the conductor does not) - together create an overwhelming impression on the mind and the spirit.

To watch Abbado conduct is an an unforgettable experience. His passion and devotion to the music is what makes an interpreter of his caliber a master conductor. Just like Bernstein before him, Abbado had no peer.

The manuscript for this piece just set a world record for the most expensive piece of music ever bought. Sold for 4.5 million pounds (5.6 million US Dollars). WOW!

정말 너무나 멋진 최고의 연주네요. 몇 번을 보고 또 봐도 눈물이 날 정도로 감동입니다.

[@elviscontoon7482]

The first time I heard this symphony performed, in Perth Western Australia, many years ago, my spirit soared at the final chorales. I honestly felt I was physically levitating out of my chair. My heart was breaking and soaring at the same time, tears streaming. I wanted to Know God! I have never recovered. I recognise the beauty of God's universe, and the way some genii amongst us somehow tap into that glory! Amen!

[@elviscontoon7482]

Break my heart, O Lord! I am devastated. There is none like you!

[@juanjoseescrivasegui2185]

Esta grabación de la 2 sinfonia de Mahler está considerada como de las mejores de la historia, espectacular version ,hasta el mismísimo Beethoven lloraría de emoción.

[@mikethefish5437]

I cry every time! it doesn’t get much better than this. RIP Maestro Claudio x

[@MadderMel]

My favorite symphony , from my favorite composer !

[@slowpainful]

Hadn't heard this piece for many years. I knew I'd be in good hands with Abbado, and he delivers. And what a superb orchestra! I like the "messiness" of Mahler, his modernism, for the way he throws in everything but the kitchen sink and you just love him for it. Most grandiose - most tender, everything at its most extreme expression. I don't see how "structureless" is possible, even no structure is a structure! But this symphony still has the heroic trajectory from struggle to triumph that is the essence of the symphonic form after Beethoven. You could argue that this piece mimics the structure of Beethoven 9, in fact.

[@AlexToussiehChannel]

It took me a long, long time to think the way you do. I used to *hate* exactly that of Mahler and now I love it. Especially how he throws in everthing but the kitchen sink in a "chaotic" modern way -- I just could not connect to that for years.

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

What do you think of Schoenberg's music, Alex?! He is regarded as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century and a person who went on to change music following on from the example of Mahler before him. With Best Wishes! Cheers - Mike.

[@AlexToussiehChannel]

I gotta go check it out!!!

[@slowpainful]

+Alex Toussieh I know exactly what you mean. With your indulgence, a little story: I studied piano with the goal, not realized, of performing. When I was about 14, I would buy records from a little shop in the local mall. One day I purchased a recording of Samson Francois playing both Ravel piano concertos. I remember putting the G major concerto on the record player and waiting excitedly for it to begin. What was this? Cacophony! I was not only startled but ENRAGED by the beginning of this piece, which made no sense to me at all, enraged and embarrassed by the swooping brass, the polytonality, the cheeky jazziness and sheer sexiness of it. I took the LP off the turntable and threw it across the room. (I was a little dramatic back then.) I put the record away.... Several years later, in a bored moment, I put it on to play and - listened, transported and utterly entranced. Ravel! Tender, ecstatic, nostalgic. How could I have not heard this the first time? I don't know what had happened. Maturity? The experience of needing to get along with people even if I didn't "like" them? The discovery that not everyone in the world thought like me, that life involved the unfamiliar and the uncomfortable, and that these experiences were all "good"; in fact, necessary? You just have to keep your mind and your heart open and meet every work of art on its own terms. You have to bring all of you, and you have to believe that this composer had an urgent message that they needed you to hear. You can't just fold your arms and say, "convince me". "Hating" Mahler was a good sign, a sign that his voice shook you up. And you obviously have the staying power and faith to return until you understand. It's a wonderful place to be, isn't it?

[@AlexToussiehChannel]

David, I absolutely LOVED your comment. You phrased it very well!

[@late8641]

The beginning gives me cold shivers. The most keyed up, ominous beginning ever!

[@radiotelegram]

Vintage Abbado knowing all, expressing all to do Mahler's genius justice. RIP, caro maestro. (Lovely shot of Bruno Ganz in the audience, RIP to you, too, maestro).

[@골프-i6r]

I can't forget the emotion of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 performed by the Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester that I heard in Berlin in the winter of 2018. I listen to this music on the last day of every year. I am moved every time I listen to it.

[@alanmofticomposer]

This is in my opinion by far the best performance available that I know of. I can't find a single other that makes the orchestra/chorus sound so perfectly in harmony. He's a genius!

I'm so upset with myself for not listening to this sooner. I could tell I was about to experience a masterpiece within minutes.

Greatest Mahler no.2. No doubt!

[@MrNicholas56]

The best performance ever anywhere without any doubt.... A great great event...

[@zamora1ify]

For anyone who has any doubts about Mahler, Claudio Abbado clarifies all doubts.

[@Blogzer]

What a stunning performance. Just wow. Sobbing like a baby at the climax Aufersteh'n. Can't believe I haven't come across this before. And it seemed like each member of the orchestra was a force of nature barely held in check, but with such gentle control, by the maestro. There was something in the air in Lucerne that day.

[@enricohintermann3721]

Mi meraviglia ogni volta che ascolto Mahler la grandiosa varietà dei temi musicali, dei percorsi intrapresi, sempre caratterizzati da una forte armonia nonostante la fantasia degli accostamenti. Manca del tutto la monotonia e la noia.

[@dresdyn100]

As a metal fan, Mahler resonates for me, his 2nd in particular. Perhaps it has nothing to do with my musical background, but rather because I'm human.

[@sweetbrightsea]

I am allways mesmerized by the ballet of a maestro hands and the contrast of the intense facial expressions. And this Ressurection overcomes me with emotions, wishing that my loved ones over the beyond be at peace and joy.

Mahler, the reason why I decided to become a musician.

Me too… im a Singer and the first piece I sung was Eines Fahrenden Gesellen, I fell in love with Mahler. I was 17 and went to audition for University with this cicle. My teacher said that she found weird that I came with this as I was very young and most singers bring Opera.
