Mahler: Symphony No. 4 G Major (2020) | Alan Gilbert | Anna Prohaska | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra

[@staffanolofsson8201]

In this 4th symphony it is always the 3rd movement at 26:51 that has taken my main interest. Not so astonishing perhaps, with its calm harmony even in its crescendos. As if a full moon is up and shines even over the dancefloor. Thanks Alan Gilbert and Elbphilharmonie Orchester for this illumination!

[@NDRKlassik]

Beautiful picture, thank you for sharing!

[@ΑΝΔΡΕΑΣΣΩΚΟΣ]

Mahler..! His music takes you to the limits....!!

[@NDRKlassik]

Yes!!

[@siavashshaghighi2655]

Anna can really hit every note. She fits so easily in this soprano solo. Bravo

[@NDRKlassik]

Indeed!

[@trumpeticon]

This is the most articulate, characterful vocal yet. The beauty of tone across the whole range is a given but to masterfully conjure the varied narrative in equal measure is astonishing here. Stunning!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much for this great compliment! we feel honored.

[@evadamonte7515]

Eva D I've been listening to the symphony since yesterday five six times .Never tired of it. Fortissimo Mahler! Grazie per la notevole esecuzione

[@NDRKlassik]

Che meraviglioso! Grazie mille per l'attenzione e il gentile commento!!

[@TM-ul9zp]

Yes, never tired, never.

[@301250]

Danke schon! This is such an immaculate performance of Mahler’s lovely Fourth by a first class orchestra, conductor and soprano, indulging us with sumptuous sounds throughout. Truly, das Himmlische leben on earth.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, much appreciated!! We are very happy that you enjoyed it!

Exceptional rendering of this symphony by conductor Alan Gilbert

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you!!

[@warrenwilson4818]

Fantastic composition, diector, orchestra and soloist. Just totally mesmerizing. Do young people growing up these days (in college, maybe) understand that this type of music is the hallmark of Western Civilization? Not overlooking Western Europe's contribution to the whole picture. Oct. 30. 2022. St. Joseph, MO, USA

[@ccsung9640]

I kept on listening to finish the whole symphony. It took me one whole hour, but it's more than worth it.

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit farbenprächtigen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente sowie durchsichtiger doch herrlicher Stimme der genialen Sopranistin. Der intelligente und ebenso geniale Chefdirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kalkulierter Dynamik. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen herzlichen Dank, lieber notaire!!

[@wagnerfan5453]

Lassen wir mal die Frage beiseite, wie genial Sopranistin und Dirigent sind und wie perfekt Mahler komponieren konnte, das eigentliche Vergnügen sind Ihre Kommentare. Die Welt wäre ärmer ohne sie (und ohne Sie).

[@dischi1832]

@@wagnerfan5453 süffisant und respektvoll zugleich!

[@NDRKlassik]

Das wollen wir doch sehr hoffen!

At 45:05 we hear and see a 2nd timpanist used for the Middle note of the glorious chordal triad in this opening up the Heavens moment in the piece. BRAVO

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you!!

What can I say! Great sound, great filming, great playing. What else can on wish for.

Was für eine Aufführung! Und das Oboen-Solo ist einsame Klasse😀 Herzlichen Dank aus dem Publikum an Orchester und Dirigent.

Vielen herzlichen Dank! An der Solo-Oboe ist Paulus van der Merwe! 🤩

I rarely hear a performance of Mahler 4 that doesn't move me, but this is a lovely one. And it may be in my mind, but the fact that it was done during COVID, of necessity in an empty hall, adds some poignancy. Looks like Alan Gilbert landed in a good place after New York.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you for your kind words, Marko, much appreciated! And yes - we are truely happy to have Alan with us!!

[@hartwigbeland1719]

Beautiful!

thanks!!

[@ccsung9640]

It keeps me listening on when I am thinking of turning to something else. Why? It's Guatav Mahler's symphony.

[@NDRKlassik]

We can totally relate!

[@tapasbasak6113]

I love your music

[@NDRKlassik]

We are so happy to hear that!! :) Thank you!

[@TachanMabolo]

ソプラノの位置、東京公演で観た舞台上最後方右というのが良かったのですがこの演奏は画期的です。素晴らしいアイデアです。

[@verdiguy]

I remember tuning in for the live stream It's great to have the symphony here on You Tube so we can enjoy it again!

11:40 the joy of the timpanist🥹🥹

[@LSA223b]

It's a lovely performance. The Covid orchestra placement is interesting. I'm wondering if they could hear each other well enough. I'm also sort of amazed that in the darkest days of the pandemic, the German musician's union didn't require masks on all non-wind players. What will we think about these two years of music in the future?

[@philthefox1948]

Le mvt III ruhevoll me transporte au-delà des nuages, mes pensées ne sont plus terrestres. Je remarque que c'est presque toujours le cas pour les mouvements lents chez Mahler, comme chez Bruckner et bien entendu chez Beethoven. Par ailleurs, mes compliments à A Gilbert pour la 4eme de Bruckner avec le même merveilleux orchestre.

[@NDRKlassik]

Merci à Vous!!

And as if to greet Ms. Prohaska as she makes her entrance at the side of the stage. What a glorious welcome.

[@hmhparis1904]

… ohne Publikum klingt die vielgerühmte Elbphiharmonie ziemlich steril, kalt und hallig, meint ihr nicht lieber NDR?

[@NDRKlassik]

Mmmhhh, so streng sehen wir das nicht - aber wir wissen nach diesen Pandemie-Jahren doch auch ganz genau, wie wir es am liebsten haben!!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Die vielgerühmte Elbphilharmonie klingt sehr schön ohne Publikum. But I want of course to see it filled with people, me here in northern Sweden listening to this marvelous music.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, Staffan! Please come and visit us some time!!
