I'm touched by how the young players look still overwhelmed by emotions during the standup, while receiving the applause of the public and the plause of the conductor. As if they had just returned from a long vojage with their maestro from some far away universe, maybe from inside their souls.

[@gordwilkes]

Claudio is something else... I've watched him do all Mahler's symphony's except the 8th. This is a higher relevation altogether, this piece of music... I have no words.

[@alexm7627]

Well the piece is called "resurrection" pointing to my Lord

[@gordwilkes]

There is a distinct difference in sound, especially with the brass and winds... This sounds very "American"... Aaron Copeland sounds like Mahler between the 16th and 18th minutes... Perhaps I can argue Mahler's 9th sets up American 20th century music... This was the "first" of it's sound... Mahler seems to have moved away from integrating folk music from his region of the world and comes out here with a new sound... But I don't know, I've only been studying Mahler for 5 months now.

[@porcinet1968]

I still think this is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, one of the most satisfying wholes in all of the symphonic repertoire. it's dissonant and beautiful and serene and funny all together and I think perhaps only Bach and Beethoven have this degree of emotional extremity. I would put Mahler in their company and at their rank if I had to choose. I think the tempi are just right and Abbado knows that the upbeat is nearly always slower in the first movement - it's a way of making it float. I think this performance gets the rhythms right too - the ensemble unity is astonishing. the counterpoint of the climaxes in the first movement is like it was being played in piano reduction. it's crystal clear even at speed. the "exposition" - basically the first 7 minutes is conceived as a massive crescendo and rhythmic unification across the whole orchestra culminating in those triplet fanfares. it's so excitingly done and reminds me of the end of Act 2 of Tristan a little. These young people play better than I could imagine. They dig in and give everything. I also think the irony of having a valedictory work played by the young is very beautiful. I am sure this performance is something they will remember forever. Vale Claudio. Vale Gustav M.

I have Karajan's interpretation of Mahler's 9th symphony and thought that nothing could match his but in the masterful hands of Maestro Abbado I believe he has taken this extremely fine orchestra of young people to a place of excellence and has transported us into the vast realm of the total human experience like no other conductor has. The final movement is just so heart wrenching as Mahler came to terms with his own mortality as so must we all. Bravo Maestro Claudio Abbado. Incredible performance and best Mahler's 9th imho.

[@vjekop932]

Which interpretation exactly? I hope it's his 1982 live one, not the studio one because it had a massive mistake in the rondo

[@Jps3bs]

It is Karajan's 1982 live recording. I didn't know about the error in his studio recording. Thanks for pointing that out. I love Abbado's and these are my preferred interpretations.

[@vjekop932]

@@Jps3bs Yes, if I remember correctly in the studio recording the clarinet comes in a bar early and Karajan has to slow everything down and cut the tempo in half so everybody can catch up, and they didn't redo it for some reason.

It creates a new state of mindset about appreciation of life. The symphony is so full of emotions and acceptance of death that, in the ending of the last movement you are not facing death through the music, you are facing afterlife or "eternity". After the end of the video, i couldn't even move onto writing a comment for 15 minutes. I was just staring into darkness and thinking of what i've just listened. We, humans, don't appreciate life, and this is the main reason why moat of us don't have a good life. We are too concerned about our everyday needs, that we forget to be thankful for our existence.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Time and time again the Adagio was described as Mahler's farewell from life and the world, ignoring the fact that he almost finished his 10th Symphony. So he was definately not writing this music with the idea in his mind that it would be his last. I think the key to understanding it lies in the quotation from the "Kindertotenlieder" near the end. The entire movement is a long goodbye to his daughter mixed in together with the experience of grief over so many members of his family that he lost during his life. But it was music not written with the intention of being a last word, it was music written with the intention of leaving something behind for good. I also noticed that they did something rather ingenious during the concert. They begin to slowly dim the lights in the auditorium near the end of the Adagio so that the audience sits in total darkness at the end.

Just coz it turned out he had time to do a 10th symphony after this doesn't prove this wasn't intended at the time of writing as a goodbye to the world kinda piece. He may have been feeling like he wouldn't go on much longer, but he underestimated how long his poor aching bod would actually be able to keep going for!

There will never be another Abbado and Mahler absolute perfection.The orchestra and choir are simply amazing, this is a one off never to be repeated. The ending is so emotional, I have to pinch myself to make certain I am not dreaming, how can anything be that beautiful? The expressions on the musicians faces from 1;15.46 watching every move from Abbado with such intensity. I genuinely believe that Abbado was like myself in a different world and what we heard came from deep within. Unlike some others in the UK no need for B.S. hype, knighthood, or a score, compared to Abbado they are nothing. R.I.P.

I'm drawn into truly „ersterbend“! Bravissimo! Maestro Abbado Forever!

basically perfect if you ask me - i love how Abbado doesn't shrink away from Mahler's very extreme orchestrational ideas like the written glissandi in the string parts or the colours of chalumeau register clarinet and stopped horns. I think this is exactly the way i like this symphony played and the opening pages are magical

One of Mahler's most difficult pieces to perform -> I will gibe them an 'A' - brilliant!

This symphony is maybe the greatest experience of anyone's life - it is simply sublime. AKA It is _______ (expletive or some other intense adjective of your choice) amazing.

Sad to think none of the players of this youth orchestra are young by now
