Mahler - Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major (Erin Wall, Christoph Eschenbach, Orchestre de Paris)

[@TheLastOfTheFinest80]

A day without Mahler is like a day wasted.

[@saidtheactress]

Thank you KZbin for not dropping the usual advertising cow patties all over this magnificent concert video.

[@_rstcm]

Cow Patties! 🤣

[@trevorjones3273]

So tragic that Erin Wall has been taken by Cancer. May she rest in peace.

[@BenEmberley]

Some of the most glorious music Mankind has ever constructed

[@PinkCrocodile]

I think this is my most favorite interpretation of Mahler Symphony no 8

[@ddbbel5654]

My tears down when reading the comments which suddenly pop-ups that Erin was gone 😢😢😢😢, like her singing so much. Was seeing her in other concert. RIP Erin ❤❤❤❤❤. I immediately downloaded this great version to remember Erin

[@scottmiller6495]

Incredible and unbelievably good! Mahler and Eschenbach perfect together Bravo !!!!!

[@sanman42]

Unforgettable Erin

[@dukestravels1861]

I can't imagine being in the midst of this performance. Beyond words.

[@richardwilliams473]

Mahler s music was Heavenly!!!

[@johnmyers466]

Many years ago I saw Eschenbach do this with the mighty Chicago symphony. It remains forever in my memory as the greatest concert experience of my life.

[@hugoaragor967]

Extraordinary soloists, great conduction, Essenbach as usual, very inspired and correct.

[@semrabahcivan8627]

Breathtaking performance thank you so much to all of you

[@richardwilliams473]

The 2 female singers at the end are SUPERB!!!!

[@GRANITEDAME]

What a trouper Erin Wall was - she sang T Robinson's top C for her at the end.

[@matteor.7439]

One of the most inspired, expressive Mahler 8 of all time. Eschenbach have undertsand totally this piece. i can listen, now, only this interpetation.

[@johnvaughan7096]

I'm also listening to Marc Albrecht but, yes, Christoph has a very deep human touch.

[@stevechevis3158]

I sang in this and in Marc Albrecht’s performance. Albrecht any day, this one just didn’t measure up.

[@colinwrubleski7627]

Quite the range of opinions on the merits of this one...

[@orenanpablo]

I loved every fermata he did on the coda.

Nothing short of AWESOME!

[@rphcomposer]

absolutely nailed the high C

[@Porn05Mouth]

Which one? There are like 900 of them.

[@mcaito]

53:48 When the players are feeling it.

Best version 😢

[@areyounatz]

Everything is just perfection

[@1968KWT]

RIP Erin Wall 💔

[@1968KWT]

Premiered exactly 111 years ago! 💐💐💐

[@matheuslino1651]

Bravo, bravo. Viva, Mahler.

[@peterwimsey1]

huge performing space. The back of the chorus looks half a mile away

[@peterfan7121]

I don't know how many video cameras there to switch to capture the details.I was a camera man in the church. The recording team( video compose and sound) did great job besides the great music . Bravo! A master piece I ever seen.

[@parkthoven]

What a majestic finale~~!

[@thomask1424]

Nicely done, very crisp with lovely singing from the soloists. A bit too drawn out at the very end but otherwise a great performance. Great sound, too.

[@RaZorasiangamer]

I actually like the drawn out ending, but it did seem a bit out of sync

[@alessandroberchielli8472]

R.I.P. Mrs Wall...

[@sheldonsheldon4412]

Sublime

[@anatahan2]

1:25:56 (score m.1505) is strange. chorus is too long. they should end with orchestra. which version?

[@hillcresthiker]

Absolutely- this sounds ridiculously out of synch!

[@2009Guillaume]

ce n'est pas la salle Pleyel, c'est le stade de Bercy, ce n'est pas en 2006 mais en 2008

[@kevincalderon6807]

i can't believen that im know to Erin Wall after of her died :c

[@ianislios]

At last a nice interpretation in HiFi sound on KZbin. For example, I consider nice Sinopoli 's as well. It lacks sound quality though.

[@MewsikMaker]

A good tune.

[@marshallartz395]

Quite an understatement, that. 😎🎹

[@Dylonely_9274]

I. 2:06 II. 25:40

[@rphcomposer]

Wait ,what the heck happened at 1:24:57. Can someone explain this

[@lucas__machado]

Strange...don't know if the orchestra stopped too early or If the choir continued for too long but there's definitely something wrong

[@Porn05Mouth]

That IS weird! He clearly cut them off. It sounded like a choir patch on a keyboard got stuck. I wonder if it was sweetened... or maybe it was just an odd musical choice to have the soprani hold over the pause.

[@kevincalderon6807]

it was just a fermata, or a cauldron that they placed between those two phrases to give more emphasis and drama to the high point of the coda of this same work, since that is where it is most exciting, I loved it

[@oldsnwbrdr]

It IS strange… but I kinda liked it!

[@jakesmith3724]

Nothing strange what-so-ever. How he views this moment is simply a tension point which he prolongs to add for a more dramatic and emotional effect. It is absolutely outstanding as it opens our eye (and ears) to a moment we have all heard 1000 times, as if it were the first time we heard it. Your confusion is you preparing yourself for the ‘same old’ approach where one could say that this moment is a ‘nuanced/fresh’ approach.

[@mariorossi9655]

[@lj291261]

Schukoff is a very good tenor. Eschenbach let's it play a bit too slow.

[@faithquenniemodanza1896]

Pano to iexpress through drawing?😭 #module

[@matteor.7439]

Where i can find the cd of this?

[@ianislios]

I have the feeling that it's a 2008 concert. Not 2006.

[@michaelwall8234]

Actually, I believe the concert was in 2007, sometime during the summer. Erin and Twyla recorded it with Boulez in Berlin in April, 2007. This concert took place shortly after that recording. When Erin showed up to the first rehearsal, whoever was scheduled for soprano I had cancelled due to illness. The other soloists were asked for recommendations for someone who could fill in on very short notice. Since Erin had just worked with Twyla on the recording, Erin picked up her cell phone and called Twyla right on the spot. Twyla was free, so Eschenbach had the company engage her and she was in Paris the next day for the remaining rehearsals and concert. These things do happen and usually it works out well.

[@MarshallArtz007]

Yes. March 2008 😎🎹

[@ricarleite]

Odd choices by the conductor but I like it. Good Mahler 8th.

[@oldsnwbrdr]

This conductor is getting paid by the hour.

[@mikewalsh5631]

Begins to lose cohesion when it’s too dragged out.

[@benjaminfalcone2074]

1:11:54

[@lowelynbaes1566]

My MAPEH subject brought me here

[@renzo6490]

I put the playback speed up to 1.25...tighter, more forceful.

[@blueeyedbehr]

very bad recording. quite blah. the harps, piano, & celesta were almost absent at 1:18:50, among many other omissions. and the swooping camera angles are ridiculous. we are here for the music, not trying to over-impress already impressive music with silly pseudo-dramatic camera swoops. the music speaks for itself. mahler's amazing lily doesnt need any gilding.

[@lorenzoborgognoni]

The end is extremely slow, the brass is extremely difficult in a heavy symphony like this. The best remains Abbado.

[@oldsnwbrdr]

It’s not just the end that’s slow, I heard parts in the middle that were slow and it sounded like the singers were having a hard time keeping time. The glacial ending is just awful.

[@thomask1424]

Eschenbach kind of looks like Dr Evil.

[@alessandroberchielli8472]

peccato perché una bella direzione così avrebbe avuto bisogno di un Dr Marianus di livello....cast ottimo, coro e orchestra pure...poteva essere davvero un'edizione di livello assoluto se avesse avuto un tenore migliore, tra l'altro in questo capolavoro proprio per il tenore sono state composte alcune delle frasi più belle della storia della musica...un'invocazione come lo jungfrau così stiracchiata non si può proprio sentire

[@fmyoung]

This is the ultimate "sing"-phony!

[@Emilien-hy3sy]

the ending is so so slow

[@kevincalderon6807]

that is sooo gooood really

[@jakesmith3724]

All a matter of taste

[@ediccartman7252]

Very good performance, you really can see how people are devoted to what they're doing on the stage..BUT from the very beginning of the 2nd part, you feel the conductor is just running out of ideas. Zero tension and awkwardness of orchestral solo, and after, when the singers' solos come , Eschenbach just doesn't let them express themselves. You can't conduct this music in such a geometrical style. And the final is so insanely slow, you feel like at the funerals, instead of ascension, like it must be. Very fundamental and disappointing performance at the same time.

[@seanangelobenavente8877]

Bland

[@stevechevis3158]

I was in the adult choir for this. It was seriously underwhelming. Far better performances under Colin Davis, Rattle, Abbado, MTT, Marc Albrecht.

[@hillcresthiker]

Rattle and abbado yes!

[@shanemckenna9416]

This is one of the worst performances of this work I’ve ever heard. Have you heard Simon Rattle and the NYO? Far better.

[@jakesmith3724]

Disagree. It’s all a matter of taste.

[@porcinet1968]

a rather incoherent, faulty, poorly sung and shouty performance and what was that weird holding of the soprano and alto notes just before 1'29'55" there's no "hold these notes after a long ritard as if there were an extra bar there before the last big statement of "alles vergangliche" in the score (rehearsal number 213 if you have the score handy) - Chailly in Leipzig or Lucerne, Solti, Bernstein, Abbado and Rattle are all better than this. The Chailly Lucerne Mahler 8 has unfortunate singing from the 2 solo sopranos but has the stunning Peter Mattei owning the concert with his "Ewige wonnebrand" solo which is impeccably sung and characterised.

[@porcinet1968]

and Chailly gets better orchestral ensemble and expression than this fairly clumsy lumpy performance

[@jakesmith3724]

Disagree
