The ending is amazing. I have heard hundreds of Mahler 3s and this is the first time that I have heard the bass drum double the last five timpani strikes. Genius, Esa-Pekka. San Francisco will miss you.
Bravo Timpani. Absolutely amazing! Perfect connection between them both on the BIG ending.
Yeah, those two guys really punched out their final notes. Double hits too, I think, each mallet on a separate drum. Just fabulous ...
22:25 TO THE END.
One of the greatest finishes in all of any music.
Absolutely! Compare Bernstein. No comparison. Modern video is fantastic. Watch all the shots of the tympanists here.
That part from 9:56 up to 10:33 the strings are heavenly, got to be one of the most beautiful melodies ever written.
Great performance of the 3rd of Mahler. Fantastic the fellows at the timpani.
This achingly beautiful movement is the greatest thing Mahler ever gave us. If Maestro Salonen and his great orchestra never did anything other than this sublime performance, they would have to be acknowledged as among the supreme musicians of all time; here we are in some holy place, listening to a sublime benediction.
Amen.
This ONE symphony by Mahler - always brings out my tears - and they flow and flow. Thank you, Mahler..and thank you, Maestro Salonen ♥
Me too! The first time I heard this piece was in Köln in 2002. I cried like a baby.
If this one doesn't bring tears of joy, then one might be made of stone. Certainly the most beautiful movement in the repertoire.
Listening to this is overwhelming.
Just pure beauty! No other composers is/was half as amazing as Mahler! If this finale doesn't bring you to tears, you have lost your senses!
You are utterly right. Mahler is simply the genious. His symphonies are a endless source of content. Every time you spot new ideas or feelings. Moral vistas. Landscapes of spirituality. I always feel I can just die in peace after listening to him. Only Shostakovitch compensates his early death. Dimitri was sent by Zeus, to save us from anguish. Dimitri symbolically puts a wreath of flowers, on Gustav s grave.
Mahler's marvellous beauty💜💜💜💙💙💙❤❤❤Bravo fantastic Orchestra,bravo maestro Salonen!!
As I mature I really like the music from this genious musician more and more. 🙏🎵❤
i love this piece so so much.... loved the timpani players at the end, the were so conected with the music and with each other and conductor.
22:32 I'd love to do that..
I could not agree more, the entire percussion section was amazing!
Don't forget the bass drum player
This version brings me to back to the first time I heard this finale to Mahler’s 3rd symphony that changed my entire life. Thank you.
That's lovely! You're most welcome.
Mahler Magic Mahler Love for ever
How?
Wow, was seit ihr Klasse.
Vielen Danke an Gustav Mahler und dieses tolle Orchester. Mir kamen die Tränen vor Schönheit.
Ich bin mir sicher, das Gustav mahler mut euch zufrieden gewesen wäre, ich bin es auf jedem Fall. Danke ubd Gott schütze euch alle.❤
best ending ever, i heard this song many times and this is the best.
One of the finest and most gloriously beautiful endings to any symphony ever composed. And a terrific performance! Thank you!
Thank you! Please join us for our 22 May watch party: We'll be sharing the complete Mahler 3 performance with several of the players online to chat with viewers, including a post-concert chat. ua-cam.com/video/LVVoGYFu49E/v-deo.html
This orchestra just gets better, with new faces among the longer term members. Esa-Pekka Salonon has given us a fantastic rendering here. Thank you.
And now my tears flow, but they are tears of joy, hope, and love.
I am more of a Mahler's 2nd Symphony guy but this particular rendition of the 3rd Symphony finale is really something amazing. thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
IMPRESSIVE!!!... A very unconventional ad original reading of this piece. Absolutely amazing.
One thing I believe is that music’s impact is made stronger within the realm of context, this finale is really nice. But it becomes a truly amazing moment when the culmination of an hours worth of music leads you here, it’s literally like being at the end of a journey, I’d also compare it to a rewarding view of a beautiful landscape after a long exhausting walk.
When you enter the gates of heaven
😊😊😊😊❤😊😊
Exactly!
WOW!!! I have always LOVED Mahler. By far my favorite composer of all time. I have been wanting to play one of his pieces for a while now but just haven’t gotten the chance yet. I hope some day I can be given the opportunity to be able to project the sheer intensity and beauty of a Mahler Symphony!!!
I have been in LA Philarmonic concert in 2002 performing Mahler Symphony No.3 conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, and it was very much impressed. I will never forget the performance.
I love Mahler and this final movement in particular, but I can't listen to it very often. It just rips the skin off me.
Brilliant! Mahler was the Master of Finales!
So far, I only knew Esa-Pekka Salonen from Sibelius Symphonies. It shows that, he has also mastered Mahler.
Worlds apart- Mahler and Sibelius- but each a master of emotion and spiritual awakening
This symphony is lifechanging
Awesome final climax, spine-tingling. Well done all.
Una delle più belle sinfonia di Mahler, con un finale fantastico.
Magnificent and perfect performance. Esa-Pekka Salonen’s grip is kept from start to end of this colossal symphony. And what a huge closing march with incredible powerful percussion playing. Usually cool and calm Esa-Pekka was obviously moved after the final chord.
Salonen does a magnificent job and I love how he has the orchestra hold those long, heavenly notes- I originally said that I thought the final tempo of the timpani was slightly fast but I have changed my mind with repeated listenings and must say this is masterful- and just what Mahler probably wanted love to tell him!
C'est suprêmement beau ; on écoute dans une sorte d'extase sans fin ; le final flamboyant nous ramène sur terre .
Beautiful rendition of one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written. I had only heard Esa- Pekka Salonen conducting Sibelius but I must say he is a superb Mahlerian too. Bravo Maestro!
Thanks for listening
Wonderful performance. Esa-Pekka is the greatest living conductors
Sublime y portentosamente Espiritual este adagio, perfecto final para la tercera Sinfonía de Mahler.
"I'll Be Seeing You" was derived from this beautiful symphony.
So beautifully played... Goosebumps all over
I've lost count of how many times I've seen this video (and also the full version). Just let the sensitivity flow to have the "feelings of the world" that Mahler was referring to. And only with conductor Salonen did I realize this final effect on percussion. Exciting. Thanks for sharing, standing ovations, from Brazil.
such an overwhelming symphony of altruistic Humanity!
left side Timpanist is France radio symphony orchestra player ~!
There are subtle details in this rendition that make it a bit different from other in YT. For example, in the final code, the timpani strokes are doubled and there are also kicks from the bass drum that are not in the score. I think it works! Kudos to Esa!
I admire the hell out of composers who are willing to change things up a bit, Mahler was the same.
Salonen did the same in his excellent recording with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for Sony.
Im not a musician but the timpani strokes are usually doubled with most performances on UA-cam. Its the bass drum that I wasnt aware of- but its still an eargasm
Stimmt
Wonderful. Thank you
この最終楽章は、美しさと推進力、そして最後にカツをティンパニ入れるサロネンの気合いはこの曲のクライマックスで初めて聴いた😂
Great to see those C trumpets in a British orchestra.
Impressive,awesome perormance!!!!!!Love the added bass drum in the final bars.Makes it sound a bit like the end of Shostakovich 5th,but it certainly shakes the rafters!!!!
Saubere und tiefempfundene Aufführung dieses echt ruhevollen Satzes. Genialer Dirigent und ausgezeichnetes Orchester!
Vielen Dank fürs positive Feedback. Wir freuen uns dass die Aufführung Sie begeistert hat. Danke fürs zuschauen!
Hello Philharmonica people, i know nothing but i think this was an amazing version/recording of this piece, i felt feelings.
I just read that Mahler's wife, Alma, was still alive when my parents were born.
It might be silly but that overlap in generations (i'm 28) makes this music feel closer to our world, our reality. It didnt grow out of the ground, it didnt come from some supernatural, super-ancient inaccessible figure like Machault, Allegri, Bach or even Mozart. It's right there and i hear him in a lot of movie scores from the last 20 years.
Making connections between great stuff made a long time ago and our "content"-saturated world is important and i think the "instrument: " series on this channel is a good way to make it accessible. Educate, perform, i mean...even the fucking Oboe has 1,2 million views(!)
There's still hope that people can still connect to great work but i think we need to know why we should even give a fuck. Putting performances like this on youtube helps. A lot.
Thank you for this.
Cheers from across the pond in Montreal.
Ps. That finale was lit AF
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, and for tuning into our channel.
Many years ago in college in Western Massachusetts, I met an old, old lady who was then in her 90s ( it was 1986) so she must have been born in the mid-1890's. She remembered going with her parents as a teenager to hear the New York Philharmonic play Mahler 3rd in New Haven, Conn in 1909 or 1910 in performances conducted by the composer. She couldn't remember much but did remember Mahler as a "very short but so energetic man." That is always a bit eerie to remember.
Almost 25 years later in 2009, I was fortunate to conduct the 3rd Symphony myself at Carnegie Hall with a marvellous orchestra which included your own Mike (bass) and Lulu Fuller (violin). It's a smaller world than we might imagine.
Musica come questa può cambiarti la vita: grazie!!!!
Siamo d'accordo!
By any means possible the greatest finale of the 3rd on UA-cam. Salonen, hats off to you once more, you got it!
Without taking anything away from this masterful performance, I would point out that Abbado with the Lucerne, does an equally masterful if not slightly superior job- just the opinion of a lifelong mahlerite
La suavité, le plaisir, la beauté au suprême degré .
I forgot the subtitle of the final movement. (I think it includes "Love" somewhere.) Someone borrowed a few bars from it and wrote an "I'll be seeing you" song. I think both did a fantastic job of explaining what love feels like.
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.
In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishing well.
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.
Subtitle of the final movement is "What Love Tells Me"

Grande sinfonia n. 3. Ottimo direttore.
Superb interpretation...A tear jerker Bravo
So many great works and movements by Mahler. This is one of the best if i have to say - the greatest work ever by human beings.
What Love tells me...
I felt İ'm travelling by transatlantic...BRAVO!!!
I keep hearing strains of " I'll Be Seeing You in All the Old familiar Places.." 1:02
"I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places".... Mahler's time was not that far off.
Timpani nailed it. Four mallets striking with precision.
This excellent performance of the final movement of Mahler's Third Symphony is perhaps surpassed only by the account of Jascha Horenstein and the London Symphony Orchestra, available to listen to elsewhere on UA-cam. Nonetheless, for a contemporary version of this great symphony one could hardly do better!
Mahler is loved 💕
Amaging,, Mahler No.3 Vl
wow!
Great ❤
Hopefully, you can upload the whole symphony, in any case, thank you for uploading this masterwork. Very good performance and conducting. Wonderful orchestra. Again thank you for making possible for so many, to enjoy your wonderful orchestra and its way of expressing the most abstract of the arts.
The whole symphony is available here: ua-cam.com/play/PLqR22EoucCyfOJdXv0m36aMuc__qKNsxW.html
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Not sure just what you are answering, but if LA Phil and Dudamel, yes, you are correct!!!
Absolutely impressive!!! Congratulations to the producers: the video is suberb
Thank you!
Maravilloso
The apotheosis of love.
Incredibile!
21:58
In the arms of God....
Extraordinario, eterno Mahler. Emocionante interpretación, que se acerca a la esencia más profunda. Quiero pensar que esto le decía el amor a Mahler.
22:37 That timpanist on the right is having so much fun
Was always been overwhelming since I performed in it. Miami Orchestra
Come hang out with us on 22 May (7pm UK time) for our watch party of this piece! We'll have several of our musicians chatting with viewers throughout the performance and in a post-concert Q&A: ua-cam.com/video/LVVoGYFu49E/v-deo.html
2nd timpanist is france radio orchestra timpanist.
Esa-Pekka Salonen is a genius.
tempo on the slower side. still an enjoyable performance. For contrast, check out recordings by Claudio Abbado or Georg Solti for comparison.
Happy Birthday Gustl❤
❤️😭
Esa-Pekka Salonen. Today winner of the Polar Music Prize 2024!
❤
bravo♪。.:＊・゜
Way too much for me. My heart might explode due to excess of intense romantic beauty
DING DONGG DING DONGG
Just wonderful!! The tempo at 20:30 for the next few bars was much too quick for my critical ear. That was the only disappointment though. 🙂
10:34 young Mark Almond on Assistant 1st with Katy Woolley Principal?
Is Andrew still in the orchestra
Do you mean Andrew Smith? No, he retired a few years ago after 40 years with the orchestra. Antoine Siguré is now our Principal Timpani.
No I meant Andrew cresci the tuba player
Our Principal Tuba is Pete Smith. Andrew is not a member, though he did do our Tuba video.
Well that explained it, it was just a thought because he was in the short film
This is a fine performance if a little laboured. But the finest performances I have ever heard are Abbado/Berlin recorded live in London 1999 or Abaado/Lucerne which can be heard on UA-cam
The Abbado/Lucerne recording is a masterpiece. Great performance, good audio quality and great camera work.
21:24 just surrender to it
Ha terminado la vida, el Espíritu se desprendido y Asciende a la presencia del Creador, a esperar la nueva enmienda a cumplir, tal es la Ley Universal de cada ser humano.
18:03
Main theme by 3rd movement of Beethoven's last string quartett

What a homage to The Master!
A la fin, lors de l'ultime reprise, c'est un peu trop rapide.
Why are they playing american trumpets? That sounds not good:(
Vienna Philharmonic with Bernstein or Boulez but this is also good.
