A gift, more priceless than this : An outstanding and breathtaking performance of movement 3 of Gustav Mahler's Symphony no 4, could not have been offered to us on this beautiful sunny Sunday. My compliments and sincere thanks to the awarded conductor, the much acclaimed soprano Barbara Hannigan and the impressive London Symphony Orchestra. Bravo ! Bravo ! Bravo ! 👏👏👏

Nenhum outro compositor como Mahler para nos conduzir até às regiões do sublime... E que dizer da portentosa e multifacetada Barbara Hannigan? Rendido por completo à inspirada leitura deste andamento. Mágico.

Music gives meaning to sound, from meaning to sound, is born emotion. Symphony No. 4 in G major, Movement III. Ruhevoll, Poco adagio. This third movement is the true heart of the symphony. The aerie is of great ampleness and plays above all on the strings. Although it has some peculiarities, it's about of a double theme and variations : two main melodies alternate and vary with each reappearance. The first, which inaugurates the movement, is a tender melody which first appears on the cello. The second, a more plaintive and melancholic oboe line. The two alternate, reaching a heartbreaking climax before fading away. At denouement, a fast excessive passage threatens to overwhelm the meditative mood, only to be held back by horns. Then, everything stops, and the orchestra explodes in a coruscant wall of sound foreshadowing an solemn peace. This music is deeply beautiful and meditative. *Lucien*

I think the adagiettos written by Gustav Mahler in his 10 symphonies are the best music ever written, and all of them are one to each other totally a different universe. Beautiful conduction of the Canadian soprano and conductor Barbara Annigan and her peculiar way of conducting. BRAVO!

[@marcelouz1]

I know the difference between the adagio and the adagietto what I am not sure is the premise you mentioned at the beginning....

[@LucienMarine]

​@@marcelouz1 It's at say? The fact that there are only one adagietto. You mention the adagiettos in the symphonies of Malher? There is only one in his work as I have aforesaid. It's obvious, you make an amalgam between the two tempos (adagietto and adagio) which are not of the same nature. Mahler composed on his last symphony (No.10) an adagio in the first movement. This opus will not be completed during his lifetime. *Lucien*

[@tt-ew7rx]

@@LucienMarine Well poco adagio (this movement) moves towards adagietto, sort of, and adagietto moves towards andante moderato, sort of, maybe, then adagio is not too far away from poco adagio, from the other side. So they probably meant to cover all the "slow movements" in Mahler's symphonies. If so it's a legit comment. As to "totally different universe" I think it is broadly true. This movement here is about joy, the adagio in the 3rd and adagietto in the 5th are about love, and the adagio in the 9th is probably about dying. The progression of the slow movements is something like love (3), joy (4), love (5), relentless inevitability (6), dying (3) and maybe after death (10). Hmm.

[@barryguerrero6480]

Only the slow movement to the 5th is titled "Adagietto". The rest are either andantes, adagios, or some combination of different and sometimes conflicting tempo descriptions.

[@robertmanno5749]

I just can't love this enough. Hannigan captures the essence of this movement, probably more than any other conductor in my memory.

Wonderful! 🌟

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE IF THE GENIUS WAS STILL ALIVE TODAY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS MUSE

[@MahlerHolic1860]

Superb tempi choices from Ms Hannigan and wonderful playing from the LSO. Glorious and exquisite. Thank you.

[@user-rv7tk2pp6e]

lovely !

[@mariadelcarmeamat3264]

Belleza en estado Puro . !!!

[@claudioescuriale4954]

Meraviglioso

[@JuanRuiz-pb9jn]

MALHER, el dolor humano y sufrimiento físico hecho sentimiento musical.

[@thmsrttg]

Ah, the Adagioof! Perhaps Mahler's finest symphonic movement.

[@Marie-ClaudeMONTOURCY-lw8ku]

Toujours cette merveilleuse musique qui accompagne le splendide film Le rendez-vous avec quelqu’un. J’écoute aussi en boucle l’adagio de la symphonie n°6 qu’on entend également dans ce même film. Je recommande vivement ce film qui décrit le repenti d’un jeune SS envers un vieux juif qu’il a mené jusqu’au camp de déportation et où il est mort comme tant d’autres. Ce jeune SS ira jusqu’au suicide pour honorer ce RV avec sa victime. Super.

[@UlrichGlaubitz]

Und ein Mann an der Harfe - wie selten.

[@jannoordende3187]

Deze muziek werd gebruikt in de film. "de Ijssalon" met hoofdrolspeler Gerard Thoolen

[@bunnybaton5038]

Thank you very much! Is this not the third movement?

[@klavierhaltern]

Yes, indeed. I was also surprised.

[@ahmadrezaei8675]

It's the third movement actually

[@UlrichGlaubitz]

Sehr schön. Aber besonders die Oboe...Wunderbar!

[@JPFalcononor]

I was interested to see if she sang the vocal part of the 4th movement, but alas, it was not to be since this is the 3rd movement.

[@VernonStradling]

I've listened to a number of Barbara Hannigan's performances now. Like this one, they're all too mannered. Over finicky with the detail and the opposite of flowing.
