Mahler - Symphony No. 3 - 6th Mvm (VI, Langsam. Ruhevoll. Empfunden) - Bernstein

Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 3 in D-minor - 6th Movement (VI, Langsam. Ruhevoll. Empfunden)
Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
"In the last movement, words are stilled-for what language can utter heavenly love more powerfully and forcefully than music itself? The Adagio, with its broad, solemn melodic line, is, as a whole-and despite passages of burning pain-eloquent of comfort and grace. It is a single sound of heartfelt and exalted feelings, in which the whole giant structure finds its culmination. The movement begins very softly with a broad D-major chorale melody, which slowly builds to a loud and majestic conclusion culminating on repeated D major chords with bold statements on the timpani" - Bruno Walter.

Bernstein may be the most talented director of all time. He draws this movement out almost unbearably slow to represent the anguish and eventual triumph that love brings. It is like he has window into Mahler's soul that none of us could ever come close to having. He makes a song about love at first titillating, then sorrowful, then jubilant. Other interpretations of this piece have often been played too fast, or loud, or a combination of both. This...speaks to your soul.

[@pwieland]

Together with Sergiu Celibidache conducting Anton Bruckner's symphonies: Almost Zen like. He always conducted without any score in front of him, he had it all in his head. Watching him conducting Bruckner's Eight with the Munich Philharmonic is like having a glimpse into the Other World! He had the orchestra literally on a string, no extravagant movements with his baton. Sometimes he stops conducting and lets the orchestra carrying on the piece. Pure magic.

I have been a lover of classical music since I was but 11. I was exposed to Mahler at 14 and he has remained a constant companion ever since. That's almost 50 years ago and still Mahler profoundly moves me, transports me almost to another world, and in my loneliness makes me feel emotions that I had long thought dead. In Mahler's 10th the scream in the first movement and the flute solo in the finale are amongst music's most shattering moments. Bernstein was passionate about Mahler which is clearly expressed here.

This music connects us with God, his boundless wisdom. Gustav Mahler just recorded for us God' s divine harmony of everything.

[@javiermarting]

It is a fact that even classical music is subject to the changing taste of generations, the fashion if you allow me to use that word. Mahler was under-appreciated and under-rated for much of the first half of the XX century, with barely a handful of conductors insisting in how great his works are. Recognition came only fom the 1960s, and LB played a fundametal role in that, I believe, along with some others. Nowadays, Mahler symhonies are highly regarded and favorites of concert goers. I use to attend many performances of the Orquesta Nacional de España in Madrid, and the venue is literally packed when the program includes one of his symphonies. Last time was only two weeks ago, Mahler 7th, maybe the least known of all them, but still the three concerts during the weekend were sold out. This last movement in Mahler 3 is simply irresistible, it moves almost everyone to tears... Last time I was so moved I had to wait a few minutes to walk out the hall. These Mahler symphonies are like treats... not for everyday (just joking).

That's the beginning of the overthinking of the lover who has dark thoughts. Now the person who he loves starts to pull away from him. Leave him. Wich will explain why it goes even more deeper. Until the lover accepts that he needs to tell his emotions wich can explained why it comes a brand new theme made by a choral of trumpets. Now she finally heard the truth. And made her happy.

Then at !:20, there are those five notes that called out to be sung: and, in 1938, they inspired two Americans, Fain and Kahal, to write the song, "I'll Be Seeing You" for insertion into a Broadway musical that nevertheless closed after fifteen performances. But the music and the poetry endured! What could be more ironic than the fact that the Nazis took over Mahler's homeland and banned Mahler's music. However, it was that song, derived from the music Mahler wrote, that nourished the morale of the heroic allied troops that defeated the Nazi evil of WWII.

I agree with those who recognize that the expansive nature of this movement demands these slower tempos.

Descubrí a Mahler, como muchas otras personas, a partir de escuchar su primera sinfonía, de la cual quedé maravillado debido a su movimiento final. Sin embargo, muchos años después de aquel primer contacto, y después de haber escuchado las nueve sinfonías completas y los fragmentos de la décima, la tercera es, a mi parecer, la más hermosa de todas; en especial este último movimientos, puesto que refleja no sólo el dolor y la angustia existencial humana de la época, sino cómo el espíritu decide afrontarla y termina por salir avante de dicha confrontación.

I seek what I cannot find in the scroll of my sorrow like a curse that is so evil right in my heart that I turn to the grave. In the bowels of the wide streets my pride kills me from within and I lose hope in the distant land of the unpromised. Humility is a part of our will that we do not deserve, we swim in the vortex of pain of melancholy and painting dynasty that we not only whine and fight. In the tears of long-lost masters, the glass is ground shards, star dust, the long road takes us to the intersection of logic and the only shadow in the sun covered by dark clouds in the sky. I turn my faith to God and to the only woman for whom my love feels more. I am broken and slightly bent over where I call out the words "What can love say here". To love and confess about a person that writing is the greatest hunger for the desire to meet the woman of my dreams. Here she is covered in hell regardless of others. When I am at her final resting place, I feel the need to jump back in time and fulfill my dream. To look into her face and eyes and tell her "Fame does not desire us, love leads us through the clouds in the rhythm of honey sweetness". I am lying in bed writing these words because in the music of Mahler, after learning, it is reflected in the mirror in empathy. For Maude Adams

This reminds me of Beethoven's last work, his String Quartet No. 16 - specifically, the third slow movement. Where that one may be solemn, reflective, and at times, dark (especially in the minor variation of that movement), there's no harm at all in wondering whether Mahler was inspired by that and continued that notion, and with his own pen slowly allowing the music to open up into a different colour that is just as beautiful and intimate as Beethoven's.
