Mahler: Symphony 9 part 4 : Adagio - BPO / Karajan***

[@vincemajor3275]

Stunning performance ! The whole symphony is like a huge mantra of angst, bitterness, sarcasm ending in the absorption of the spirit into the peace of the infinite - an acceptance, a farewell. An absolute masterpiece ! The more I listen to Mahler the more I believe he should be up with the great masters like Beethoven.

[@milandavida3625]

Vince Major he is up there with the great masters :)

[@khurmiful]

He is

[@michaelreidperry3256]

I thought he was already.

[@yulaserio]

My favorite piece ever

[@ralphmadach55]

So viel Ausdruck und Tiefe wie in dieser, Mahlers letzter vollendeten Symphonie ist einmalig, ja ich bin jedes Mal erschüttert und betroffen, wenn ich diese Symphonie höre…

[@michaelreidperry3256]

An ode to a perfect love and a perfect loss. Beautiful. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

[@kriptozen1902]

An extremely disciplined presentation of Mahler's 9th finale by Karajan. Impressive! Thanks for posting!

[@nealhines4476]

less the awesome horn wipe out at the climax, I love that, and it enhances the humanity of this music

[@nealhines4476]

It happens at 16:40. Give it everything!

[@DrunkOnRedWine]

Arguably the greatest and most faithful of Mahler's 9th performed in modern times. Thanks for uploading the Adagio. I also recommend the Royal Stockholm version.

What he ^^^ said.

[@christianvennemann9008]

That section from 9:32 to 10:59 is my favorite part. 😍😍 Such an immense, raw, and emotionally charged build-up that never ceases to give me chills down my entire spine. I think Mahler knew he was nearing the end. Even if he didn't, this was still one incredible "farewell" to the world! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@enriquesanchez6455]

The images expertly done . The music took on a further dimension Maestro Herbert would be proud and a little jealous of.

[@hbhatia17]

Entranced ...spell binding!!The Ultimate in music!!

[@Noemialas]

Emocionada,solo puedo decir...Sublime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shintayuasa6673]

The best of BPO / Karajan*** and classic music forever.

[@BalbirSingh-tt8rv]

One of the most intense and time less adagio.

[@michaelreidperry3256]

Mahler holds us in an intense state, but with waves of extreme intensity tapering off into hardly a breath. It’s quite an emotional workout, isn’t it? But it’s good for you. It tells you you are alive and aware.

[@theatavist5120]

This video is the best LSD simulation I've ever seen. Not even joking, this is exactly what it's like. Rapturous absorption into the sublime, textural-distortions and hallucinatory superimpositions onto the visual field. There's a certain peace being made in this movement, as if Mahler has accepted his deepest sufferings in life and is now ready to bid farewell to this world. If only my own death could be so archetypal.

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

While creating this work full of mental pain,I don't believe that Mahler thought that it might have someone to act like lcd...But,everyone has an interpretation,surely you'r interpretation is unique,I have not read anything so similar!!!It Karayan version I've heard countless time...The best version and video is so special,so dark...so amazing!!!

[@theatavist5120]

@@ljiljanastanic9076 I meant the video itself is an LSD simulation

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

💔🖤💔🖤💔🖤💔🖤Video is in line with music...Extraordinary...

[@michaelreidperry3256]

LSD and this Adagio are similar in that they both do have a wave-action of varying intensity.

[@christianvennemann9008]

If I'm lucky enough to have a "good death," in which I'm old and surrounded by my loved ones, I want to listen to this (especially the part from 22:20 to the end) as I drift away into eternal slumber

[@ferdioriordan3048]

Sublime-thank you.

[@alfredobuglione5192]

Oltre al dolore della morte della figlia, gia' avvertiva il dolore del presagio della 1 Guerra Mondiale. E' musica dolorosa e allo stesso tempo da Cupio dissolvi.Sublime!

[@marcsuanez7877]

Un Adagio phénoménal !

Minors in the richest tones are so superb.

"Hay una música personal en cada uno de los seres humanos que existen, y és ésa música, en específica, nuestro sueño de ondas, quien vivirá para siempre en la infinitas dimensiones que vendrán, atravesando atmósferas para unirse alfinal en amor"

My Mahler.... by Todd harris awakened from the Clay of winter’s angry dream sunlit grass needs no reminder from cavitating birdsong to greenly greet the day she verdantly grins leaf by leaf blade by blade throwing her sweet sun-risen shadow long unaware her laughter fills the spring Her musical means becomes nothing known without tragedy's graceful sunset-bonnet her bold tears cold and fire-set a sigh forged by mortal sweat sung and flowing softly so sweetly sown as tempered sorrow might soil regret; Her verdant veins gild golden a cooling still-warm heart's final beat tuning memory's fond reset; and Mahler paints pure triumph upon it catching the light cast within her net forging fate into mournful prayer recasting hope thru mist and dream cloaking warm life’s closing sonnet

[@27brigitte]

Beautiful music, beyond words. And, I would say: beyond images. Please, someone, remove these images, they are distracting and offensive to Mahler. Some plain colours would be enough. The images include railway lines and trains in sepia tones in the mist (on their way to Auchwitz?), together with churches, crosses and little cherubs(!). Please: let's have some respect for Mahler and his music. As is well know, he was a Bohemian jew who converted reluctantly to catholicism in his middle age in order to get around the discrimination of the period and receive the professional recognition he deserved. Don't insult his memory -- and more -- with a combination of crosses, cherubs and trains in the mist. Or was this pseudo-mahlerian irony?

[@rickmarti77]

No one is making you look at the video.Close your eyes and get a life. Bet you are one of God's chosen people.

[@sonictractatus]

are you serious?

[@maartenverbaarschot4332]

Oh come on, what are talking about. The images of the train crossings where taken in the Netherlands. That’s a bloody long way from Auswitch… The images are just about mood, vibe and thus meant to induce thoughts & feeling in general from the listener. Whatever you personally might read into them is just that: your personal experience/interpretation. Concluding that your interpretation is the exact purpose of the person who made the images is utter nonsense. It’s even offensive.

[@hufemeve]

too rigid ... ?

[@milandavida3625]

Mahler wanted his music to be played the way it was written. He wouldn't have written down such descriptions on the manuscript had he wished for fantasies' freedom.
