Thank you so very much for this criticism. The person who did this knows NOTHING about classical music, much less transcendent works such as Mahler’s Second Symphony. Cutting off this clip only shows off the incompetence of your “sound engineer”. It is like farting in the middle of a solemn piece: vulgar, horrible, audible to everyone, graceless, and stinking to the end. You blaspheme EVERYTHING about Mahler, Bernstein, and the Second Symphony combined. How incredibly insulting.
It's not a sustained note though, it's not actually the final note of the symphony, just the end of the vocals. The note is only 2 beats in the score which is about as long as shown in the video here. The outro continues for a bit longer as just instrumental until you get to the actual final note.
I've never seen this before i thought it was great you mean there's more? Maybe too much All at once. This reminded me of Wagner but then again I'm oblivion a pleibianChattel consuming workerThe class of lowly blue colorAnd I must go back to work soon Enjoy your life I tolerate mine
Bernstein was a showman himself - there is no doubt about that. I’m old enough to have been one of those young people who watched Young People’s Concerts and still appreciate his gifts as an educator also.
Hello. As a Celibidache/Bruckner fan, I have to ask. What thing in this world made you think that Mahler is not a symphonist?! Nowadays, he is one of the most represented composers and his symphonies are damn amazing. The "Resurrection" it's a Masterpiece and has one of the greatest finales EVER, and this moving version is conducted by one of the greatest conductors in history, Leonard BERNSTEIN. So please, can you explain?🙃
@@nicosuarez6962 so is coca cola...marketing. for show, like karajan. Bernstein.mahler is not a symphonist cuz he has no form. everythikh is at random in his compositions(symphonies). but if you really.want detailed explanation about the non-symphonist G Mahler ask Konrad von abel(germany). the world us full of diletants so the fact that they are so devoted to Mahler is not a shock. i could tell you more reasons of why Mahler is so much performed and Bruckner(the best symphonist of all times, and you don't know why...) is not performed nearly as much as Mahler. it's complicated you see....same with Wagner , a titan , a colossus ....in.comparison with Mahler he s also not much performed. Wagner didn't know what a henius he was. Bruckner a pious , humble egoless man. can't say the same abt Mahler though. mahler was disturbed ...and preocupied with ego ..the chronicles of his day were saying "mahler looked for God and Bruckner found Him..". anyway, i wont even get into details why Bruckner is the best symphonist if all times. ask Bloomstedt , or Konrad von Abel, ir Patrick Lang why !
@@ionutzamfir5794 Why was Mahler not a symponist? Because some of his symphonies have more than 4 movement? Because 2, 3, 4 and 8 have singing in them?
@@Yetunabwoyzm The now late Seiji's 5th Symphony of Beethoven reigns supreme of that specific piece. Also No piece of Classical Music ( for Wagner fans, this does not include Herr Wagner ) holds a candle to Ludwig's 9th Symphony !
Grew up never having had the wonderful gift of this kind of music in my life or home. Recently the Maestro movie came out on Netflix. Had it playing in the background. No one was really paying attention. House full of teenagers and preteens. Then the above piece of music came on. The house came to a still. Conversations ceased and devices were stilled. Can't convey in words what this music did for us in that moment. But it was beautiful.
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to hear a variety of classical music while growing up. My mother was a classically trained vocalist & pianist & my parents had a fantastic stereo system & extensive collection of albums. They also listened to NYC radio station WQXR which played some of the best classical music. It's so important to expose children to all genres of music, not just current popular tunes.
That movie is what brought me to this video. I had the same experience. I was completely transfixed by the performance. At the end, I said to my wife: That was incredible. She didn't respond. I looked over and she was in tears.

Agree 200%. I am old enough to having watched live on TV Bernstein conducting Beethoven's 9th symphony in Germany in 1989 shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. What a performance this was!!

Leonard Bernstein was one of the first composers to get me into classical and romantic era music. His interpretations of Mahler's 2nd symphony as well as the 5th's Adagietto, are the kinds that put goosebumps on the back of your neck. Very excited to watch Bradley Cooper's film about his career and marriage, where they actually reenacted this entire symphony to detail. I feel a connection to Maestro, as Mahler is my favorite composer, and Bernstein was buried with Mahler's 5th on his chest. An interesting and a talent that will not be forgotten any time soon
It’s astonishing. I’m a lifelong heavy metal guy. But never before has a piece of music make you feel like you could be in the presence of God. So powerful

LOL nope, it is not. Bradley's conducting is underwhelming, especially considering his years-long training. What he is doing in the movie is more just shaking and waving arms dramatically and making ridiculous faces thank actual musical performance. It is a travesty and even more, if we look at Bernstein's actual skill, charisma and musical expressiveness.
@@johnking5433 My apologies, yes you're right, the performance of the orchestra was amazing. Also, I do not have snooty standards, I just do not enjoy clowns making frivolous faces.
This performance of the Mahlers second symphony is the best or the best I ever heard,what a passion, what a wonderful musical phrassing, what a dynamics, what expression there are new versions in the XXI century by young conductors with extraordinary recordings and the use of point technology who learned from the "Maestro" , by the way I am expecting to see it in Netflix in December the 20th. Thanks for posting the final "Resurrection " with a great sound. BRAVO!
This isn't even Bernstein's greatest recording of this piece. His last recording with the New-York Philharmonic (also on DG) is even better, and better recorded too. Also please listen to Tennstedt with the LPO. He gives Bernstein a run for his money in those final pages.
@@TRH2243 yes, indeed it also a great interpretation, but in final part of rites of funerals when the score say " tempo primo" he doesn't interpret in such a way, is too slow , I agree with you the first one, but not the following of them,.
Ik there are some critics, who think of Bernstein's conducting as often over-the-top and of Bernstein himself more of a showman than a good conductor. But I (imho) think there are no gestures, mimics or body movements, that could be too "exaggerated", if they only fit and express the music and its details, like dynamics, crescendi and ritardandi, perfectly, and that's just what Bernstein's lively conducting definitely provides here. I just watched the clip again, with the sound muted, and I could follow the music perfectly. It appeared in my mind just by watching Leonard Bernstein conducting it. For me that's a sign of perfect conducting ! Of course this would not be an approbiate manner to conduct a Haydn symphony for instance, and so Bernstein actually never did, but he always conducted the baroque and classical composers in a much more restrained way, fitting the music. But here, in this gigantic climax of a late romantic Mahler symphony, I find Bernstein's gestures absolutely suitable and not exaggerated at all. It simply matches the music and is really a great help, especially for the singers in the choir, to find the right expression and dynamics.Thus it is NOT only for "show". And of course you can see the great love and passion Bernstein had for this music, nothing wrong with that too.
i wonder what these 'critics' would say of furtwangler, who was eccentric to say the least while conducting. some of his performances look like he's having a seizure. but no one yet has been able to interpret beethoven better than him. and the same goes for bernstein. they are all unique and no two conductors have the same way of expressing themselves, especially to music like this. people need to chill lol
@@thewisew0lf947 Hahaha ! So true and well put ! Frankly, I had exactly the same thought about Furtwängler but was rather hesitant in writing it down because I didn't want to provoke the Furti-fanboys. ;) But I know exactly what you mean: each time the music came to an ecstatic climax Furtwängler would put his his right arm forward shaking it uncontrollably before his musicians as if he would have been electrocuted with high voltage and without these movements having the slightest resemblance of any reasonable beat whatsoever. But as you said, he was still a marvelous conductor and as Leonard Bernstein he always got what he wanted from his musicians, and that's always the hallmark of a great conductor. I'm quite sure those critics of Bernstein would also have belonged to those critics in Mahler's time who had criticized Mahler himself for exactly the same things as Bernstein half a century later: "too exaggerated and showing off..." There is a famous Mahler caricature of the time in form of a multiple silhouette, which shows the wide range of gestures Mahler had in his repertoire while conducting, and it seems he was just as expressive as Leonard Bernstein was. We must not forget that during his lifetime Mahler was actually more famous for being a great conductor ( especially of operas ! ) than for being the great composer he really was. He can be regarded as the first modern conductor in the history of music, who became worldfamous as such. And like Bernstein he often had to regret that his many conducting obligations and extended travels didn't allow him to find more time for composing.
When I was young, his music always with me. I know that some snobbish people hate him, but much more people saved by music because of him. Without him there would have been no golden age of classical music in the 1980s and 1990s.
My album of Candide, On the Waterfront, and Fancy Free helped me to survive boarding school. What a genius. Now his distance is among the stars! God bless him forever.
LOL Those dissing Cooper's performance, please video yourselves doing it, I will look forward to seeing you masters! Meanwhile, besides my own reaction, I will go by the reactions of those of the LPO he conducted in this scene, who said they felt Bernstein was there, and to the conductors who coached him, who have invited him to come conduct, whenever he feels like it. He was masterful in this scene. EOS.
@@jaska05Well, the musicians who were in the Resurrection scene said “it was like playing for Lenny again” watching him, so he must have had some idea!
01:02 Kiri Te Kanawas Face shows it all. Carried by that huge force of every musician participating. Must have been such a powerfull moment to witness this concert, especially as a musician. Mahler blessed the world with that finale
I've seen this performance countless times when I was a teenager and I'm not ashame to admit that I'll continue to do so. Thank you for the upload in high quality.
Growing up as a budding musician on Long Island in the 60's/70's, he was my total hero. Dramatically over the top, yet simultaneously 100% genuine, no bs!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ So happy that Lenny graced this planet with his amazing love, talent, genius and philanthropy.
OMG!! To have been in the audience; better yet , to have been in the chorus! The Saratoga-Potsdam Chorus performed this one summer before I started attending! I wish I had known and had been there, but only being 21 at the time, i would probably not have appreciated it the way I do today. There is NO other composition like this in the history of music and I can say that having listened to and performed classical music for most of my 74 years. It transcends all other music and lifts us into Heaven. GOD I wish I had seen Bernstein live. I too watched the Young People's Concerts back in the '60s. There has been almost NO ONE like him!
How do you give a powerful performance as director and actor in one film. Mr Cooper is astounding. Mr Bernstein... I never seen a man unselfishly make love to music they he does. Absolutely the Maestro
Wonderful, astonishing music, conducted with such joy by Maestro Bernstein! I would have loved to have been in that chorus! I can't stop watching it. It is INCREDIBLE!! I so want a go at it! 🎵
Bernstein lived and breathed music. His, and that of others; in this case, Mahler's. Having been a conductor, it's easily recognizable the passion and artistry of Lenny's approach to orchestral conducting and performance. His compositions are equally important and on par with the greats of the 20th century, and continue to stand on their own merits. Thank you for posting this important film that features a musical master.
Uma das melhores interpretação de regência que já vi...regendo com a alma ..se doando em todos os gestos ..e impossível o coral e orquestra não vir junto com a regência desta forma..fazendo assim o público e a quem assiste se emocionar 😢😢😢😢😢
I saw an early screening of Bradley Cooper's movie on Bernstein, Maestro. In the film, they re-enact this exact performance-about the last 7 minutes, completely unbroken. Go see it. You are in for a treat.
Watched it today and it’s one of the best films I’ve seen in a while, and that scene you’re talking about was brilliant. Cooper put on an Oscar worthy performance AND directed a visually great piece.
I had limited exposure to classical music until I went to college in 1964. I acquired new friends, one of whom was deeply invested in hi-fi technology and classical music. I took a basic music appreciation course in college, but I never heard of Mahler. Looking back at the time, I discovered that Mahler had been lost to the nerds over time, and popularly reintroduced by Bernstein when he conducted the NY Phil. The, for me, big advancement was the issuance of a full set of the Mahler symphonies on Columbia's Masterwork label by Bernstein. It cost $99 in 1968 dollars (a lot), but my friend had to have it. Mahler played through Klipshorns in a room dedicated to their care and feeding. I was a quick convert, and I have stayed one for the next 58 years.
First time I've watched this was years ago, I think they deleted that old one. But thanks I've found this one again. I've just also finished watching Maestro, and I was really surprised by how good this scene was in the movie really accurate. Hat's off to Bradley Cooper on that one. And Carey Mulligan performance was just astonishing.
The scene was neither good nor accurate. The only thing Bradley Cooper managed to do was shake and wave arms dramatically and make ridiculous faces. It is a travesty to the actual performance and a laughable attempt at trying to imitate Bernstein.
Have sung many wonderful choral works but 2:41 so would love to have done this. I can’t stop listening to it. Bernstein’s conducting is the best, Bradley Cooper was great to watch but it’s Mahler’s glorious music that moves me to tears.
I gave my colleagues at Northeastern Illinois University VHS tapes of the "Bernstein Yale PBS Lectures!- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU
@@kaypie3112 I did, however, hear Bernstein conduct the NY Phil, in the flesh, at UCLA's Royce Hall when I was in college. The main work on the program was the Pathetique Symphony. After the second movement, the fire alarm went off and an announcement came to evacuate. Bernstein turned around and indicated for the audience to calmly comply. About 30 minutes later and all safe, the last two movements were played. Afterwards, my friend and I decided to try and meet Lenny. We made our way back to his dressing room and saw that it was packed with people: old friends and newcomers like us. All were welcome. We got there just in time to hear Lenny deliver possibly joking but nonetheless absolutely profanity-laced tirade about caterers in the building setting off the alarm for a party he “wasn’t even ****ing invited to”. We eventually met him, exchanged a few words, got an autograph, and went on our way. Unforgettable.
@@papagen00 lol, what a great story. It seems to me though that it would have been absolutely perfect if the fire alarm sounded right at the final note of the third movement of the Pathetique!!
I feel that I don't belong in the current Era. I don't know how anyone could find the last two and a half minutes of Mahler 2nd satisfying in any respect except for the superficial aspect of seeing Bernstein do his thing. And he is always fun to watch. But sadly I don't think people are capable of sitting through the 90 minutes of the Mahler in these times because they don't have the capacity to engage in anything that long. And post like this on UA-cam, of which there are many - even most, have severely contributed to this demise of our capacity to experience.
Maestro Muti once said something like: the conductor, if he/she is good, doesn't need to show off in gesture or self expression, the sound itself will show all his artistry... Unless Bernstein, he was the music in every movement and physical expression!
The words are taken from the poem, "Die Auferstehung" ( "The resurrection") by German poet, Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock ( 1724 - 1803 ) with some minor alterations and additions by Mahler himself. Here the last section heard in this short clip of the end climax: "Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen, werde ich entschweben ! Sterben werd' ich, um zu leben. Sterben werd' ich, um zu leben. Aufersteh'n, ja, aufersteh'n wirst Du, mein Herz, in einem Nu ! Was Du geschlagen, was Du getragen, zu Gott, zu Gott, zu Gott wird es Dich tragen ! " ❤ "With wings, that I've won for me, I will float away ! I will die, in order to live. I will die, in order to live. Resurrect, yes, resurrect, you will, my heart, in an instant. What you've beaten, what you've borne, to God, to God, to God It will bear you !" ❤
Mahler always said he had no idea where this Symphony came from. Somewhere DEEP inside of each of Us is a RESURRECTION of sorts. Bernstein was My FAVORITE conductor of all time because for Me only HE had a way of bringing things out of the music like nobody else. I doubt very much that Bernstein watched old performances of Himself because He was always looking ahead to the next thing and couldn't wait for that to happen. This performance just might be a glimpse of what it's going to look like or sound like or even feel like - for what Heaven is going to be like...
HOW DARE YOU END THE CLIP CUTTING OFF THE SUSTAINED NOTE
Really sad, so disrespectful, what do you think we’re dealing with here?

There is a famous Mahler caricature of the time in form of a multiple silhouette, which shows the wide range of gestures Mahler had in his repertoire while conducting, and it seems he was just as expressive as Leonard Bernstein was.
We must not forget that during his lifetime Mahler was actually more famous for being a great conductor ( especially of operas ! ) than for being the great composer he really was. He can be regarded as the first modern conductor in the history of music, who became worldfamous as such.
And like Bernstein he often had to regret that his many conducting obligations and extended travels didn't allow him to find more time for composing.
yeah lol once i watched a video of him conducting a piece using only his face and his eyebrows. it was still easy to follow
When I was young, his music always with me. I know that some snobbish people hate him, but much more people saved by music because of him. Without him there would have been no golden age of classical music in the 1980s and 1990s.
It's others work not original
My album of Candide, On the Waterfront, and Fancy Free helped me to survive boarding school. What a genius. Now his distance is among the stars! God bless him forever.
The greatest conductor bringing us the music of the greatest composer of symphonies.
Ludwig van Beethoven : "Hold My Beer"
I am freaking blown away by Bradley Cooper's portrayal in Maestro.
Será por lo mal que lo hizo. Torpísima interpretación.
You mean his God awful “conducting” in this scene? Try again.
LOL Those dissing Cooper's performance, please video yourselves doing it, I will look forward to seeing you masters! Meanwhile, besides my own reaction, I will go by the reactions of those of the LPO he conducted in this scene, who said they felt Bernstein was there, and to the conductors who coached him, who have invited him to come conduct, whenever he feels like it. He was masterful in this scene. EOS.
Agree. I burst out laughing seeing Bradley "conduct". It was so comical. You can immediately tell he has no idea what he's doing.
@@jaska05Well, the musicians who were in the Resurrection scene said “it was like playing for Lenny again” watching him, so he must have had some idea!
2:15 this part literally brings me back from the dead
01:02 Kiri Te Kanawas Face shows it all. Carried by that huge force of every musician participating.
Must have been such a powerfull moment to witness this concert, especially as a musician.
Mahler blessed the world with that finale
Pure ecstasy! ♥️
I've seen this performance countless times when I was a teenager and I'm not ashame to admit that I'll continue to do so. Thank you for the upload in high quality.
Thanks Maestro for all Music 🤩🌹
Thanks for listening
Leonard Bernstein , GREAT ! Thank you Deutsche Grammophon ! 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for listening!
THE MOST inspired piece conducted by the great Lenny.
Sang this in 1974 with the NY Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall under Pierre Boulet with several choirs! Amazing, Fantastic piece of music!
Growing up as a budding musician on Long Island in the 60's/70's, he was my total hero. Dramatically over the top, yet simultaneously 100% genuine, no bs!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ So happy that Lenny graced this planet with his amazing love, talent, genius and philanthropy.
This (piece, composer, DG excerpt) should be considered World Heritage. Truly, the human spirit at its best !
OMG!! To have been in the audience; better yet , to have been in the chorus! The Saratoga-Potsdam Chorus performed this one summer before I started attending! I wish I had known and had been there, but only being 21 at the time, i would probably not have appreciated it the way I do today. There is NO other composition like this in the history of music and I can say that having listened to and performed classical music for most of my 74 years. It transcends all other music and lifts us into Heaven. GOD I wish I had seen Bernstein live. I too watched the Young People's Concerts back in the '60s. There has been almost NO ONE like him!
Genius 👑 Great 🙏 Wonderful 🌟 No.1 in the world 💫💥💫 THANK YOU MAESTRO ❤️👏👏❤️👍
Mehr geht nicht! Vielen Dank für diesen unsterblichen Upload 🙏🏻
How do you give a powerful performance as director and actor in one film. Mr Cooper is astounding.
Mr Bernstein... I never seen a man unselfishly make love to music they he does. Absolutely the Maestro
Goosebumps! 💖🎶
I last heard this sung in the chapel at Stonyhurst College, during Communion. Lovely!
Wonderful, astonishing music, conducted with such joy by Maestro Bernstein! I would have loved to have been in that chorus!
I can't stop watching it. It is INCREDIBLE!! I so want a go at it! 🎵
Watching this powerful and magnetic man conduct this exquisite music gives me goosebumps every time.
Bernstein lived and breathed music. His, and that of others; in this case, Mahler's. Having been a conductor, it's easily recognizable the passion and artistry of Lenny's approach to orchestral conducting and performance. His compositions are equally important and on par with the greats of the 20th century, and continue to stand on their own merits. Thank you for posting this important film that features a musical master.
無人島に持って行く1枚…毎日泣いちゃいます
This has been my favorite recording of Mahler 2 for a while---I deeply appreciate the upload.
Seeing him like this makes me wish I met him myself. That passion is inspiraing to us musicians
This is enough to bring me to tears absolutely beautiful ❤❤
Uma das melhores interpretação de regência que já vi...regendo com a alma ..se doando em todos os gestos ..e impossível o coral e orquestra não vir junto com a regência desta forma..fazendo assim o público e a quem assiste se emocionar 😢😢😢😢😢
Masterful interprétation ...
Love all of Mahler. But this moment, and earlier "Prepare yourself, prepare yourself... to live" always overwhelms me.
That's utterly astonishing.
I saw an early screening of Bradley Cooper's movie on Bernstein, Maestro. In the film, they re-enact this exact performance-about the last 7 minutes, completely unbroken. Go see it. You are in for a treat.
Watched it today and it’s one of the best films I’ve seen in a while, and that scene you’re talking about was brilliant. Cooper put on an Oscar worthy performance AND directed a visually great piece.
It's the best scene in the whole movie. It would be fun to see a side by side comparison video with that and this.
It's a nice tribute but it just doesn't compare at all to the real thing.
@@Southforthewinter The only thing Cooper put on was an absolute shitshow.
I had limited exposure to classical music until I went to college in 1964. I acquired new friends, one of whom was deeply invested in hi-fi technology and classical music. I took a basic music appreciation course in college, but I never heard of Mahler. Looking back at the time, I discovered that Mahler had been lost to the nerds over time, and popularly reintroduced by Bernstein when he conducted the NY Phil. The, for me, big advancement was the issuance of a full set of the Mahler symphonies on Columbia's Masterwork label by Bernstein. It cost $99 in 1968 dollars (a lot), but my friend had to have it. Mahler played through Klipshorns in a room dedicated to their care and feeding. I was a quick convert, and I have stayed one for the next 58 years.
YES Lenny, YYYEEESSSSSS , fantastic. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
When WNCN in NYC shut down I grabbed all the Bernstein Mahler CDs I could from the library.
First time I've watched this was years ago, I think they deleted that old one. But thanks I've found this one again. I've just also finished watching Maestro, and I was really surprised by how good this scene was in the movie really accurate. Hat's off to Bradley Cooper on that one. And Carey Mulligan performance was just astonishing.
The scene was neither good nor accurate. The only thing Bradley Cooper managed to do was shake and wave arms dramatically and make ridiculous faces. It is a travesty to the actual performance and a laughable attempt at trying to imitate Bernstein.
Glorious!!!
Best recorded concert ever!
Have sung many wonderful choral works but 2:41 so would love to have done this. I can’t stop listening to it. Bernstein’s conducting is the best, Bradley Cooper was great to watch but it’s Mahler’s glorious music that moves me to tears.
Magnifique 😘
Impresionante final de una obra, maestra.
Awesome!!!
Beautiful and good morning
Good morning
Brutal…. no hay más palabras para describirlo
At 1:37 we see the French Horn players playing their Horns with bells up as instructed by Mahler in their part
Maravilhoso! ❤️❤️
This recording is already incredible. Imagine, however, if they had ha the organ for it.
I gave my colleagues at Northeastern Illinois University VHS tapes of the "Bernstein Yale PBS Lectures!- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU
The quality is sublime
Mahler!! Resurrección
Locura el director como lleva ssl Coro y, solistas a la extenuación,
Mararavilloso❤
¡Gracias!
Maravillosa !!!!gloriosa!!!!!interpretación,
Love this!❤
I can't even tell for sure if this is Bernstein or Cooper. The make-up in Maestro is insane.
If heaven exists and it doesnt sound like this I'll be disappointed.
Esto es una maravilla ❤
He is in heaven...
I watched Bernstein conduct Beethoven Ninth live in 1989 after the fall of Berlin Wall.
Wow.
You were there for that?
Awesome.
How on earth did you score that ticket?
@@kaypie3112 It was live on PBS 🤗
@@kaypie3112 I did, however, hear Bernstein conduct the NY Phil, in the flesh, at UCLA's Royce Hall when I was in college. The main work on the program was the Pathetique Symphony. After the second movement, the fire alarm went off and an announcement came to evacuate. Bernstein turned around and indicated for the audience to calmly comply. About 30 minutes later and all safe, the last two movements were played. Afterwards, my friend and I decided to try and meet Lenny. We made our way back to his dressing room and saw that it was packed with people: old friends and newcomers like us. All were welcome. We got there just in time to hear Lenny deliver possibly joking but nonetheless absolutely profanity-laced tirade about caterers in the building setting off the alarm for a party he “wasn’t even ****ing invited to”. We eventually met him, exchanged a few words, got an autograph, and went on our way. Unforgettable.
@@papagen00
lol, what a great story. It seems to me though that it would have been absolutely perfect if the fire alarm sounded right at the final note of the third movement of the Pathetique!!
Just LOOK AT THAT ENERGY
Saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Epic !!! Brillant !!!
Lenny we love you❤
Pure heaven
Wow!
Work it, Lenny. ❤
I feel that I don't belong in the current Era. I don't know how anyone could find the last two and a half minutes of Mahler 2nd satisfying in any respect except for the superficial aspect of seeing Bernstein do his thing. And he is always fun to watch. But sadly I don't think people are capable of sitting through the 90 minutes of the Mahler in these times because they don't have the capacity to engage in anything that long. And post like this on UA-cam, of which there are many - even most, have severely contributed to this demise of our capacity to experience.
Maravilloso ❤
Mahler might very proud of his work to watch this.
"En dehors" - Horn bells up!- Michael McClary
Maestro Muti once said something like: the conductor, if he/she is good, doesn't need to show off in gesture or self expression, the sound itself will show all his artistry... Unless Bernstein, he was the music in every movement and physical expression!
Lenny isn't showing off, he's just enjoying the ride.
Wow. I must be a conductor in my next incarnation.
I was in heaven, until the denouement was cut off! Couldn't you have let the video be 1 minute longer?
The words are taken from the poem,
"Die Auferstehung"
( "The resurrection")
by German poet,
Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock
( 1724 - 1803 ) with some minor alterations and additions by Mahler himself.
Here the last section heard in this short clip of the end climax:
"Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen,
werde ich entschweben !
Sterben werd' ich,
um zu leben.
Sterben werd' ich,
um zu leben.
Aufersteh'n, ja, aufersteh'n
wirst Du, mein Herz,
in einem Nu !
Was Du geschlagen,
was Du getragen,
zu Gott, zu Gott, zu Gott
wird es Dich tragen ! " ❤
"With wings, that I've won for me,
I will float away !
I will die,
in order to live.
I will die,
in order to live.
Resurrect, yes, resurrect,
you will, my heart,
in an instant.
What you've beaten,
what you've borne,
to God, to God, to God
It will bear you !" ❤
I never meet him which I’m sad about because I would have loved to learn from him. He died before I was born. I’m lucky I got adopted into his family
Would be great to see a side by side comparison of this footage and Maestro.
No comparison!
The Best!
Can someone tell me what the location of this beautiful church is?
Ely, United Kingdom
@@julianmx13 thanks julian!
Ely Cathedral, UK.
Mahler always said he had no idea where this Symphony came from. Somewhere DEEP inside of each of Us is a RESURRECTION of sorts. Bernstein was My FAVORITE conductor of all time because for Me only HE had a way of bringing things out of the music like nobody else. I doubt very much that Bernstein watched old performances of Himself because He was always looking ahead to the next thing and couldn't wait for that to happen. This performance just might be a glimpse of what it's going to look like or sound like or even feel like - for what Heaven is going to be like...
Too short. It's a shame to cut the rest away.
