Right before this I watched a small ensemble (about 10, give or take, people - 2 violins, 1 cello, ...) playing Mahler's 1st. And, then Zubin Mehta, with a few hundred or so, orchestra plus chorus, playing the finale of the 2nd. And, now this 9th ending. A condensed Mahler experience. Not too long ago I read a Mahler's biography to know he was as defective person as I am. He is no Bach, Beethoven or Mozart, but I like his music as much. I think he was, basically, lonely and unhappy throughout his life. Just like me. And you, perhaps.

Este registro define la máxima expresión del concepto SUBLIME. Ojalá hubiese estado allí.

Grande interprete...grande uomo.

This is a miracle. Pure history. Loudest silence ever.

One of the great of the music

Qué manera tan bella de terminar 💛

Roberto Benigni at 8:00🥹

5:16 Even when Protoss surrounded Terran, they still lose. Hahahaha

Great vid man, I loved it.

Abbado was dying . At the end of this recording the orchestra were weeping

A fitting tribute to the last complete composition of the Supreme Gustav Mahler, composer second only to J. S. Bach.

05:20-07:44

so scary! slowly the last almost imperceptible signs of life die away.... is this nothingness? emptiness? definitely death, or maybe what comes after.

Abbado, cuanto te extraño.... que Maestro.... único.

A coisa mais bela do mundo!

What a journey this piece is. One of my all time favorite symphonies to play or listen to!

Its too damn quiet

Nemám slov... Úžasné....

Wasn't Roberto Benigni ("La Vitta È Bella", 1997) there at 7:58?

I‘ve been there and will never forget it ❤

Very beautiful, very sad, and very hard to play!

5:20 t 7:44

I feel like Abbado believed that the spirit was still making music after the last sound of the orchestra, and if we listen hard enough, it goes on forever (ewig).

Claudio Abbado died on Jan. 20th aged 80 and on his passing the economist magazine wrote in their obituary "There was, said Claudio Abbado, a certain sound to snow. It did not come from walking on it. If you stood on a balcony, too, you could hear it. A falling sound, fading away to nothing, pianissimo, like a breath. You could hear it only if you listened to what some supposed was silence." and he was right. There is a very quiet sound to falling snow that you don't realize until you're outside standing in a snow storm and listening to it fall.

Hey man, God bless you, just wanted to let you know that Jesus saves, and He loves ya! Sin is the cause of death, Christ is the cure God bless ya mate Thank you for posting Mahler 9, the final 5 minutes of abbados conducting. It's beautiful.

Build??

Is it rude to say that I wish there was no clapping, at all, like the orchestra walks of stage and everyone either sits there or exits silently. I would never clap after this, nor smile, i feel it is just as one would not clap or smile after one died on there death bed.

Me gustaria que estos inmortales cinco minutos sonaran en los últimos minutos de mi vida.

Pause was way too long. Audience was getting restless 6:56

it's been 10 years, we miss you claudio

Oggi, 10 anni dopo la sua morte, ho la pelle d'oca e le lacrime agli occhi come allora. R.I.P. Maestro

I’m so moved

Abbado was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2000. This concert happended nine years on into his battle with the disease. I would imagine his struggle with this serious illness and with his mortality had something to do with the emotion and utter silence at the end of this symphony. Absolutely riveting.

Yes...

This should be required viewing for the idiot Proms audiences, who fight to be the first to applaud, and ruin so many wonderful performances 😞

So glad to see somebody else doing similar stuff that I do in my channel!

At the time of this performance Caludio had already been battling cancer. This will go down as the most compelling performance of Mahler's 9th and last Symphony ever performed, and it comes with irony in that Mahler's emotions in this work contrast hope with despair - he was thinking about death. The depth of Caludio's emotion in this performance is beyond words. How utterly profound and compelling. This, for me, is my favorite Symphony ever composed. Astonishing that this music was banned during the period of the Nazi's. Those last 5 minutes was so intense - he was so deeply immersed in the Symphony.

You can't truly explain awareness but you can sometimes in a moment of particular grace experience it. This is one of those moments.

Superbe la 9 eme de Bruckner quelle belle directio du maestro Abbado

Like a testament, his beautiful extraordinary unique last will. We always adore you

stunning

“….and in Mahler’s ceasing, we have gained everything.” --Leonard Bernstein Lecture #5. The Twentieth Century Crisis

The most magical moment in the hands of the most magical human being and musician. Maestro, you’re terribly missed.

Such a tribute to Mahler!

Probably the most beautiful Italian-Austrian embrace since Mozart. Mahler's perfection could only be Abbado. Abbado's last goodbye could only be Mahler.

Tra il pubblico anche quel cog@ione di Benigni?

Mahler's symphonic conclusion of a life. I like to think of it as a transition into and of the continuum 🙏
