Recently heard this performed at Symphony Hall in Milwaukee ,Wisconsin by the MSO. If you have not heard this in person and live, then go. Even if you have to fly to see it, go. At the end, you may have goosebumps, your heart rate may increase and you may have tears. But your life may never be the same again.

There is no music as moving and uplifting as this final. What a performance of the orchestra and choir - with average age below 30, I guess. Incredible solists, and not to forget, the unforgettable Zubin Metha!

[@user-wp4ju4hp5w]

Zubin Mehta was such a commanding looking conductor at the podium. Upright and secure in his baton technique. BRAVO

Stupendo meraviglioso anche bravissimo a tutti quanti

[@user-rp3um6nx2n]

Unbelievable beauty... I would love to be there...

[@leonsstiprais2388]

Līdz šim domāju, ka R. Vagners ir iespaidīgs. G.Mālers ir man jāiepazīst. Paldies no Latvijas.

[@Dylonely42]

임선혜 씨 나오시네요.^^

[@mario230346]

Maravilloso

[@RBP1963]

Mehta mastered this great piece; with Abbado in Lucerne are my favourites !

[@MatthiasHRO]

Gibt es irgendwo den kompletten Mitschnitt? Was ein Mezzo .... Resurrection of Christa Ludwig .... Grandios!

[@guttss2353]

If only kircheis was here

[@richardwilliams473]

How old was Mehta in this performance?

[@adityapurohit8232]

Maestro Zubin Mehta was 79 years old at the time of this performance in 2015. Born in Bombay on 29th April, 1936, in a Parsee family with Mr. Mehli Mehta, his father , himself an eminent conductor; founder of Bombay Symphony Orchestra. I am really blessed and proud to have such a virtuoso conductor . He has always shown a remarkable prowess, inginuity and great talent in conducting repertoire of few of the techically very difficult composers viz. Giuseppe Verdi, Gioachhino Puccini, Gustav Mahler, to name a few. He is " aparo"( means Our) Zubin. He retired from conducting in 2019 @ the age 83 with performance of probably Puccini's Turandot or Symphony of Mahler with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which is their on KZbin under the title " Last 3 minutes of Maestro Mehta conducting".

​@@adityapurohit8232 Giacomo Puccini oder Gioachino Rossini ??

[@jonnieinbangkok]

The ending is weak...percussion needs more emphasis. This is how it should be done kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHubfKyEdp2bkM0

[@slubert]

a bit to rushed at times :/

[@stephanosc6603]

I agree. I cut my classical teeth on Bernstein's collection of all 9 Mahler symphonies on vinyl, and I guess I can't let go of his timing.

[@jayakrishnancp8848]

His best Mahler 2 could be the 1974 recording with Wiener philharmonic,even that was bit rushed at times

[@aldeflorio5500]

Tempi were perfect. No phony exaggerations.

[@kppe]

​@@stephanosc6603 Es gibt noch eine unvollendete 10. Symphonie.

[@pfjb9122]

Love the singing, but why can't the percussion get into it? Rob Hurst of Midnight Oil would have given the timpani a better hit.

[@pierrefoul5960]

Dudamel est bien meilleur

[@patrickbridelance5815]

Les deux solistes sont hélas insignifiantes dommage !
