The Lucerne Festival each year opens with a concert given by the resident Lucerne Festival Orchestra. This is an élite ensemble founded by Claudio Abbado that is based on the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, to which are added internationally renowned soloists and chamber musicians. Marking the centenary of the symphony's première in 1906, Abbado leads a heartfelt rendition of Mahler's tragic and prophetic Symphony No. 6; the performance was made all the more powerful because of Abbado's long association with Mahler's music.
If you play this at 10:54:09 PM during New Year's Eve, the first hammer strike will play exactly 12:00 AM
Wonderfull to know
Thank you for such a fascinating advice!!!
Imagine a youtube add popping up at 11:59:59

Now that's a really educated audience. They doesn't make a sound for more than 30 seconds after the piece ends !
I agree. Many years ago I heard the sixth in Birmingham Town Hall (England). The audience started to applaud in the pianissimo before the final climax! The conductor (Louis Fremaux if I remember correctly) just looked devastated.
@@colinpierpoint5380 this is sad...
Or they didn't know it was the end because it doesn't have a clear "this is the end" finish.
@@pipster1891 They absolutely did. It’s just a really good audience. As usual in Lucerne.
@@pipster1891 they knew. They were in awe, naturally.
Mahler stands alone, like a prelude of what would lie ahead in years to come, Abbado depicts Mahler perfectly, astonishing stuff.
"Rest in peace Grande Maestro Claudio Abbado!" ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
The smile on Abbado's face after each movement, what a passion
I love his smile very much, too.
Love his smugness.
This music is deadly infectious. I think I’ve caught Mahleria.
Man. Internet is the best man achievement. I can heard this performance for free !!
Everyone talks about the adagietto from the 5th, but the andante from the 6th is not from this world. Amazing performance.
I've actually thought that for a long time now. However, I have come to much more greatly appreciate the adagietto from the 5th(under Karajan it's truly sublime); being slower it has a much different tone and expresses very different ideas and feelings from the 6th's andante, which is much more of an anguished spirit culminating in triumph to me. But of course that precedes the hammer blows of the final movement.
I now like them both a great deal.
Agreed. The 5th Adagietto is a short and sweet love song for his wife Alma scored for strings and harp, while the 6th Andante is a well developed symphonic movement scored for full orchestra that the listener must be patient with before it delivers a double payload in its second half. And when it delivers, OMG, beginning with (1) the return of the main theme at 36:19 in the low brass/double basses, followed by (2) the surprise modulation fully established at 37:16. As you say, Andre, "not from this world."
André people who only listen but dont study music just got headaches reading that 😂😂
Absoultely agree the adagio of the sixth symphony is Mahler’s best adagio
muchas gracias!!! por hacer que lo conozca, coincido totalmente, Elvira
37:15 always brings tears to my eyes... Just beautiful.
Me too the same part exactly 😭😭
feels like you just surmounted a gigantic hill and you can see the beautiful sunset
The closest I've ever come to crying when listening to music, pure sublimity.
It literally touches and shivers every time i hear it.
😭😭Yes
After the piece finished, the few seconds focused on Claudio Abbado brought a lump to my throat, he must have been exhausted beyond endurance. Taking his illness into consideration I am not surprised. Gee, what a man and what a musician. Beyond human endurance. May his memory and his legacy never be forgotten.!!!!
Have you checked out his rendition of Maher's 9th symphony with this same orchestra? The last few minutes will surely have you tearing up
same thought here
N E V E R
Amen!
Высочайшее искусство и слушательская культура. Оркестр и Клаудио Аббадо - вы прекрасны в своем единении .
That smile on the timpanist's face at 38:00! What music making is all about :-)

Arealgod!
This guy possesses the most beautiful conducting gestures among conductors of the last century.
Possessed, actually.
This guy? John Westlake you can not joke about Claudio Abbado. I'm Italian, i'm proud to be Italian; Claudio Abbado is a wonderful expression of Italian Art and Culture in the world. Claudio Abbado and the many Italians Giants of Art, Culture, Science in every time are not your cow boys, if you speak about your cow boys garbage culture, you can to say "guy" but not about Claudio Abbado and Italian Culture...Please, keep silent and learn the respect. Listen pop music, trash "artists" like madonna, lady gaga and many more...it's just your "culture", understand poor guy? Hide yourself, it's better.
Elegance, modesty, nobility. Abbado was pure class.
This symphony always makes me want to practice more and more, for 40 hours every day.
What do I play?
Why, of course, the mighty Hammer.
Our hero and guru! Keep it up!!
X: What instrument do you play?

Buoni spadellati con pomodorini aglio e cipolla. Basilico e un po di origano e sono perfetti..
Ah al dente per favore
@@pedrolacipolla3862 semplice e buono!
It is rute
Esilarante
Abbado was one of the great Mahler interpreters.
Abbado was such a graceful conductor. Everything balanced, connected, nothing neglected. This is quite a meaty symphony and this group of musicians is so good. The brass have so many wonderful parts throughout this work, including beautiful lyrical passages for the trombones. And wow - the audience doesn't make a sound for a full 40 seconds after the piece ends, letting it slowly settle into the silence!
He does have a shortcoming - TOO expansive (especially in the 2nd and 3rd), perhaps more so than Karajan.
Don’t like the incessant marching, heard better.
A
B
24:07 that climax of the 1st movement is so heavenly.
And the changing from a major to minor triad underneath is subtle but devastating.
That chord
I can't describe but it is not a complex chord but right chord in the right place
Sophisticated
I have read that Mahler was never satisfied with the sound of the hammer blows, but these were perfect.
I gesti, le mani, le espressioni del viso, il suo colloquio muto con gli artisti, il suo entusiasmo nel condividere gli applausi con i singoli e con tutta l'orchestra indicano il suo farsi strumento di realizzazione della bellezza e dell'amore assoluto per la musica. Vederlo mentre dirige aiuta i profani ad entrare nella creazione artistica e nei sentimenti che l'hanno suscitata. Grazie Abbado, ovunque tu sia.
Sig.ra Virginia Tommasone, lei sa parlare al di fuori dei luoghi comuni, cosi' ben sostenuti dalla sua insostenibile prolissità? Penso che Claudio Abbado sarebbe fuggito a gambe levate di fronte al suo "lirismo"...
When I establish my global dictatorship, the first 3 minutes of this will be my march anthem!
World will recognize your supremacy for exactly 3 minutes.
My dictatorship's music x 2

Tragic Symphonie...and Claudio Abbado...a wonderful conductor, at such an age he created this wonderful festival in Lucerne ... now he lies in Sils Maria, among the beautiful Alps .. and his soul looks down on this beautiful nature in the Engadin! Merci for all the Beauty! 🙏💙🎼💙💔
1:10:34 to 1:10:52 is exceptionally brilliant.The strings that start after the hammer strike create an echo.From 1:10:34 there is a crescendo which turns into something the world has never seen.
YES.
1:10:34 Thanks for this time-code. I've come here for the sake of "Bum!"
(Faced the shorts about it recently)
Now I m curious to listen to it completely.
Two andantes never fail to bring my tears: the andante of Tchaikovsky’s symphony No. 5 and that of Mahler’s symphony No. 6. I am in tears now
both have fantastic french horn parts, there's a correlation here 😁
1:23:40 That man loved music!
Des hommes tels qu'Abbado ne devraient jamais disparaître.
Mahler Hammer at 1:05:51.
+samdajellybeenie God's good work being done here. Thank you good sir. Also, the second hammer strike is at 1:10:30
+Trevor Perkins +samdajellybeenie thank you gentlemen.
Thanks for saving me an hour!!
thanks captain, came from 9gag just for the hammer.
Did not come here for the hammer, but since you guys won't shit up about it, I stayed for said hammer and was not disappointed.
Absolutely love the horns' brief melody after 59:09
I adore the way Maestro Abbado was enjoying wholeheartedly the music and how the Orquestra was magnificently responding & performing the music under his direction. It seems to me he was emotional overwhelmed at the end- almost crying? Maestro Abbado to me was meant to elevate Malher's music to its heavenly limits- which he achieved.
Si, prossimo alle lacrime
Greatest Conductor of all time! There is only one Abbado...
The Andante moderato is probably my favorite 15 minutes of music.
The adagio of this symphony melts the heart 💔
The andante, if you please :)
Іван Чумаченко aka slow movement 😉
Sublime. Claudio Abbado pasa a la historia como uno de los grandes directores de Mahler de todos los tiempos. Gracias por compartir.
Saludos desde México.
RIP Claudo Abbado
Gracias Gustav Mahler por tu musica : Gracias Maestro Claudio Abbado por hacer que su magia perdure.
Meraviglioso!!!!! Ci manca tanto tanto MAESTRO
It is becoming more and more my favourite Mahler symphony. And the Lucerne performance is simply splendid.
Claudio sure seems to be enjoying himself and the orchestra as much as I!
+Steven Brady Yes, I totally agree. And how wonderful to see the concert master of 'his' Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra between the 1th violonists!
I like to think that when I will close my eyes and leave this dimension, in the last glimmer of consciousness, I will listen to these notes and they will be my "great gig in the sky".
What an amazing silence and superb performance by this incredible conductor and orchestra. Wished I would have been there...
I haven´t seen more musical educated listeners like this public in my life....and the performance is stunning.-
One of the most demanding, beautiful, challenging mastepieces! Wonderful interpretation! Unforgettable Claudio Abbado!
Such as a great performance .. Abbado made all the instrument telling the right story in this great piece of music .
1:23:35 The moment a mastero finishes what he's been passionate about.
And He is touched for what he has done.
As a percussionist, I do love the hammer, but I also love this entire work.
u right
"Cosa sarebbe la Musica moderna senza Mahler?" ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Giuseppe
The best version live.
I love Mahler 6. Until this afternoon I thought I knew it; I didn’t know it at all. Thank you maestro Claudio, now I understand.
La presencia de Claudio Abbado. imposible no emocionarse. Cuánto lo echamos de menos.
Two Gods,Mahler and Abbado...sofisticated performance!!!
Anch'io penso così, Mahler e Abbado, carissimi fratelli del nostro tempo!
Is the best symphony i ever hear !! ❤❤
I´ve listened to Mahler`s symphonies 1to 5 many times and thoroughly enjoy them. In my ignorance I thought this was the best of Mahler. Wow !! I´ve just been blown apart by The Sixth. Mahler was Godly inspired needless to say but it took Abbado´s magical touch , genius and humility to make this touch the stars. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us listeners see that there really is a new tomorrow on the horizon and that one day the pain we are currently going through will roll away and we´ll always have this incredible music. Thanks too for the supreme performance given by the Lucern Orchestra.
Your appreciation is beautiful.
Listen the 9 Symphony.
Wait for the 8th!
This symphony is so rich, so full of experiences. Just a pleasure
Ah that beautiful moment of silence at the end where people contemplate everything before they feel they need to clap...
Never feel tired to listen this great piece!!!❤️
MAGNÍFICO...BRILLANTÍSIMO
EL GRAN MAHLER...!!!
1:23:15 do you remember the first time you heard it?
Difícil expressar o que a musica de Mahler provoca... Cada sinfonia dele é uma obra de arte, puro êxtase. Esse Andante é tão belo e profundo quanto os mais famosos.... Gênio é pouco para Mahler, e essas apresentações de Abbado no festival de Lucerna me parecem um registro definitivo dessas maravilhosas e incomparáveis obras. Só resta desfrutar (uma centena de vezes pelo menos) e agradecer o privilégio de ter acesso a elas assim.
Absolutely stunning performance
These concerts were just the best
"Interpretazione nuova! Rivelatrice!" ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Giuseppe
Abbado's certainly among the top maestros when it comes to Mahler.
wonderful! Abbado is living the music in every note.....
I started watching this just for the opening, but it's like a book that you can't put down, and somehow inevitable as though it was waiting for someone to write it. The first movement development section is a particularly fine piece of composition Imho. Great performance by the immortal Abbado.
What a great interpretation and performance! Abbado is very lyrical in this work, seeks out all shades of colours in the music and is not of the school that says speed is king. Wonderfully paced tempi. reminds me of a great predecessor of his, Barbrolli, who also managed to plumb the highs and lows of this work to great effect in live performances. Funny how Italians and those of Italian parentage seem to be so good in Mahler.
Find a video where Mr Abbado smiles, somewhat ironically, more than this one. I'll wait. I absolutely love the 4th movement of this piece. Gustav keeps dragging us up, off our knees. Thanks to everyone involved here. Sensational work.
What a performance ! Thanks for sharing.
Even though I am having some problems with my tuning and intonation on the violin , listening to this great music makes me want to become an orchestral musician. I guess with practise I will become better day by day. It just needs patience. Anyone feels me?😅
But do it as a hobby. Playing rank and file violin in an orchestra is not a job you'd want to do for life
Bravo Mahler.
Bravo Abbado.♡♡♡
THIS IS AMAZING! I FREAKING LOVE MAHLER!
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched and listened to this video! I liked the video ages ago, but thank you for posting! I’m addicted to this symphony and have no idea why
The audiences are shocked by this fantastic show and forget to give applause！ Abbado cast the greatest Mahler symphony 5!
Una de las mejores del ciclo de Abbado con Lucerna. Magnifica
Wow. Beautiful. I really enjoyed this.
A esto se le llama ser un DIRECTOR DE ORQUESTA, ,gracias, te extrañamos.
Came for the hammer, stayed for an hour and a half.
Why? Is the hammer that important?
It's become an internet meme. People who aren't into classical music saw a .gif with the hammer, and wanted to see the original video.
listen Ustvolskaya and youve got 20 min. of hammer and the cube
I only heard the hammer twice.
I have to listen again to listen three times.
I laugh because of your writing.
@@arturoalmeida16 A hammer is a sound predicting three tragedies.
"La Gioia!!!" ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Giuseppe
Gustau Mahler , Symphony six a Lucerne Festuval Orcherstra and Claudio Abbado , it was very beautiful and inspiring ❤
great piece of music. great performance!
I really love the silence that comes after the last minute of this symphony. Nothing makes me feel the aftertaste of the music more than this video.
Sublime el adagio, gracias por este formidable interpretación.
Best audience ever...
Simply extraordinary.
The second part is brilliant - so poetic.
I think the finale of this symphony is straight out Mahler's best symphonic movement. Along with the finale of the 2nd.
Magnífico! Estupendo!
0:50 Allegro energico, ma non troppo.
24:40 Andante moderato
39:40 Scherzo
52:40 Finale
Thanks man :)
Exquisite & sophisticate!
Muchas Gracias.
Gracias

Que grande Claudio Abbado¡¡¡
Mahler would enjoy this Breathtakingly Beautiful performance from heaven.
Absolutely beautiful interpretation and marvelous performance for this piece. I had a comparison of another version from another conductor and famous orchestra and almost killed my soul. Thanks for saving it! Bravo!
Abbado is one with the piece and that sublime pairing becomes a spellbinding trio with the players of instruments.
Loving the close mic'd recording. That celesta was right inside my skull.
We found a link to QelloTV on iTV and the performance of the second movement immediately popped up. BUT, no info about the song, the orchestra or the conductor. My husband and I spent about an hour figuring it out (and yes, we used music listening apps that didn't recognize the piece, I think, because it was a live performance). Then we found this post.
I've always enjoyed Mahler, but never heard this piece. The second movement is now, by far, one of my favorite pieces. And the performance of this conductor and orchestra, brilliant. I SO enjoyed it. Thanks so much for posting!
I love this symphony, have listened often, starting on LPs on a HI-FI single-speaker set.
I know Berstein was a great admirer of Mahler and did some wonderful things with him with the (a.o.) Wiener Philharmoniker, but this put a big smile on my face. A true pleasure from beginning to end. Chapeau!
So good.
Incredible performance! Abbado sure deserves the credit.
The ending is devastating and yet truelly emotive! The beauty of despair are expressed so beautifully. It is macabre to make such a statement but this is how one feels after listening to the symphony
My heart. Mahler. MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Irony. He get heart attack and die
Wonderful! And thank God Abbado gets the movements in the right order!
