Mahler kept revising the orchestration of this work until his death. He conducted the first performance with the Gürzenich Orchestra in Cologne on October 18, 1904. It is scored for quadruple winds, six horns, four trumpets, three trombones, tuba, tympani, three other drums, metal and wood percussion, harp, and string choir.
He'd begun the Fifth Symphony at Maiernegg in 1901 - writing the third, first and second movements in that order, after a death -obsessed song, "Der Tamboursg'sell," and the Kindertotenlieder cycle ("on the death of children"). After nearly bleeding to death the previous winter (from an intestinal hemorrhage), Mahler's symphonic orientation underwent a profound change. During his recovery he immersed himself in the complete works of Bach.
A new appreciation of counterpoint was born, but not yet a mastery of orchestral balances or effects - as subsequent events were to prove. Beginning with No. 5, he applied this new passion (which he called "intensive counterpoint") to five purely instrumental symphonies without Wunderhorn associations. Like the Resurrection Second and the first version of No. 1 (with the Blumine slow movement later abandoned) Mahler cast his Fifth Symphony in five movements that fall naturally into three parts.
The FIRST PART begins in C sharp minor with a funeral march, of measured tread and austere (Movement I). A sonata-form movement follows, marked "Stormily, with greatest vehemence" (Movement II), which shares themes as well as mood with the opening.
The SECOND PART (which Mahler composed first) is a scherzo: "Vigorously, not too fast" (Movement III) - the symphony's shortest large section, but its longest single movement. This emphatically joyous, albeit manic movement puts forward D major as the work's focal key. Although its form has remained a topic of debate since 1904, rondo and sonata-form elements are both present.
PART THREE begins with a seraphic Adagietto: "Very slowly" (Movement IV). This is indubitably related to the Rückert song Mahler composed in August 1901, "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" (I have become lost to the world...I live alone in my heaven, in my loving, in my song). A Rondo-Finale: "Allegro giocoso, lively" (Movement V) concludes the symphony, although Mahler devised a form far removed from classic models. While sectional, in truth episodic, this too has elements of sonata form. To weld its diverse components into a unity he wrote four "fugal episodes," with a D major chorale just before the final Allegro molto.
Mahler's search for a new vocabulary caused him no end of orchestration problems. Before his death in 1911 he had made several versions, the original of which was published in 1904. C.F. Peters failed, however, to emend either mistakes or revisions in the first pocket score, although they re-engraved orchestral parts (at Mahler's expense) to include his first set of corrections. Not even Erwin Ratz's "first critical edition" of 1964 was the last word. Revisions Mahler made just before his terminal illness didn't come to light until the "second critical edition," by Karl Heinz Füssl, published just around 1989.
God rest this fantastic musician and world famous conductor. Claudio Abbado was one of the greatest people conducting orchestras all over the world for the last 50 plus years!!!!!
Il restera pour les amoureux de Gustave l’un des meilleurs chefs avec l’orchestre de Lucerne, de mémoire l’interprétation de Résurrection est une merveille.
Musicalement, une pensée à Henry-Louis-de La Grange. Ma référence !
Abbado ist einer der großen Mahler-Drigenten.
One of the greatest Mahler conductors of all time since Leonard Bernstein! Other great conductors that are among terrific as well were: Klaus Tennstedt, Zubin Mehta, Lorin Maazel, and Leonard Slatkin among several others !!!!!
After listening closely, I figured that this is the 2004 Lucerne Festival Orchestra recording. I invite you all to analyze both to confirm for yourselves, but I am confident in my conclusion. In fact, I am highly confident - not only are the trumpet solos very closely matched, but at 0:53 in this video, the horns at their F-- E A---- F--- E vE---- etc. are slightly mismatched on the third "E" (D# in the score), which also occurs in the LFO recording. Additionally, some of the sounds of live performance can be heard, very faintly.
I love his live performances of his Mahler concerts no 1 and 5 and 7! Especially in the Mahler 1 from the summer of 2009, he got a roaring standing ovation as he usually got especially from the European audiences! But in this particular performance they were extra lively and stayed to applaud him by himself after the orchestra left the stage! Abbado was one of the only beloved conductors to have ever received such a response, what a great man he was and really loved !!!!!
Thank you. What is the date of this recording and which orchestra is the late Maestro conducting?
2004 Lucerne Festival recording. There are videos of this full concert online.
