I did not expect this - I was looking for some to work to. Then, I was completely mesmerised and could not stop. This music is so intensiv, I am totally under the spell of the conductor just like every one of the musicians...and I enjoyed the wonderful trombone solo
Dear orchestra and conductor! I heard you in Edinburgh last summer, was such a pleasure truly, but this record is a huge, phenomenal work of you all. Huge congratulations. The last movement is very much demanding, dealing with the wide open slow movement, requires loads of attention, emotional content with huge energy, stressing out a very large canvas of this grandiose movement, providing constant legato, delivering authentically the monumental poetry of the genius composer, Gustav Mahler. You did it perfectly. Wonderful.🧡🙏
Holy crap! I just started listening to Mahler. The last movement is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. No, wait! The Adagietto from the 5th is. No, wait! The last movement from the 4th is. No, wait! The finale of the 6th is. No, wait!…
Utterly compelling from start to finish. Just goes to prove that with total rapport between a formidable orchestra and inspired conductor what can be achieved. Also many thanks for the first class presentation provided.
@@classicallpvault8251 only seen a live Sibelius First which struck me as overconducted. This Mahler 3, as of halfway through the first movement is noisy and unidiomatic, That the orchestra seems engaged is in his favor. Technique rudimentary, concept, primitive. It will be interesting to see how- or if - he evolves.
First Movement, Well done! Excellent ensemble balance and rhythmic cohesion. Slow movements are tough! Hard to keep the line flowing. Excellent solo players throughout, especially the trombonist! Very rich sound from the brass, all sections.
I am enjoying this performance. I am totally not a Mahler fan.However, I find this very listenable and I hear the craft in the composition I’m listening to the video rather than watching it. when I was in college, it was the same criticism about Ozawa when he first came on the scene was considered superficial, and we were all wrong. The trombonist is brilliant and plays solo more beautifully than I have ever heard. Bravo.
Klaus Mäkelä impressiona-me pela sua juventude e mestria. A Filarmónica de Oslo é magnífica. Não sei quantas vezes já ouvi a mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston cantar no quinto movimento, bem como o coro (1:11:28). Afinal ainda há coisas belas neste mundo! Obrigado (Martz Inura)
Stunning performance, astonishing music-making and beautiful, thoughtful videography... and the nice touch of mystery, not showing the solo trumpet in the 3rd movement (49:00) where the camera pans above and away off-stage, towards the rafters (the mezzanine?) where the sound is coming from, but we don't see the player! That moment when the music dies down to focus on the distant horn call, reminds me of R.H. Blyth's poetic musing: "...Yet we feel the majesty, the dignity of mankind more than in Hamlet's most tragic speeches. Othello at his most poetic, Lear at his most pathetic, Macbeth at his most desperate, have not the grandeur of the old shepherd who... 'Still looked up to sun and cloud, And listened to the winds.' And then when he enters the music again (57:20) we only see him from the back. He deserves a credit mention, at the very least, for his wonderful performance! Cheers, massolrac 😎🖖Live Long & Prosper!
Fantastic! Favorite orchestra witj favorite conductor and favorite composer (and third favorite symphony)!! I'm already very curious to see what you will upload next! I'm hoping for more brilliant perfomances and interpretations of masterworks!
Grande, Klaus Mäkelä! qué madurez demuestra al gestionar la complejidad de la obra, la capacidad par asumirla en su descomunal dimensión y su amplísima orquestación. Realmente, ya es uno de los grandes del momento actual. La Filarmónica de Oslo (no había escuchado esta orquesta) es magnífica y los numerosos solos que Mahler propone (como en todas sus sinfonias), resueltos a gran nivel. En resumen, una extraordinaria versión, sin acercarse, eso sí a la mítica de Bernstein en Wien en los años 70, pero en un muy digno puesto. Gracias por compartir
Yes, and for the most part rightly so. But Dave has a bit of a 'not recency' bias, and Klaus is a serious musician who may mature in time to the greatness his fans mistakenly claim for him today. Perhaps Yuja Wang will influence him forward...@@youmothershouldknow4905
🎹 This video reveals the absolute highest and best that humanity has to offer and what we can achieve when we come together. Superb orchestral playing...a glorious contralto...and a gifted conductor. Also, the excellent videography highlights the dedication and committment of each of those 100 musicians. An unforgettable performance. 🎹
Can you guys please post a video of something Shostakovich or Mahler on my birthday on 4th December next year too? It would be the best birthday gift ever ❤❤❤❤
Like most of Mahler symphonies it gets overplayed. Don't get me wrong I love this music, I think Mahler is one of the greatest composers ever. But the obsession with concert programmers with his music is doing it a disservice. It's in danger of becoming business as usual. And this music should never be business as usual.@@staffanolofsson8201
Andres Orozco Estrada/Frankfurt. A revelation. It is only available on UA-cam, as far as I know. For sheer balls- to-the-wall wondrous beautiful crazy, Tennstedt/Minnesota is also on UA-cam.
Might be the recording engineers, but the timpani can hardly be heard. This compromises the entire final pages of this well conducted and well played work.
It might be the accoustics. I remember when I used to attend concerts in the Oslo Concerthall in the 90's. The timpani could hardly be heard. The musicians complained that they couldn't hear eachother. The orchestra deserves a better hall to play in.
@@packer812My experience also. I went to lots of concerts (last minute cheap tickets, always way in the back) when I was studying music in 80s. Later when I got to visit other concert halls in Europe, it was shocking to hear what the music could really sound like.
@@baldrbraa I heard the Oslo Phil in the Musikverein many years ago. I could hardly believe it was the samw orchestra that I had previously heard in the Oslo Concerthall. It was a completely different sound. You could actually hear the timpani and the woodwind and strings sounded much warmer. An entirely different experience.
Good cueing but he’s showing every beat. It’s not horrible but at times it’s unnecessary and can distract from shaping the sound. Curious what the musicians think about him. I remember Dudamel getting a lot of hate from the players when he arrived in LA but I think they’ve grown to like him although I know some are still irritated with his rehearsal technique
Listen to the Orozco-Estrada video for a performance that nails the balances and execution this piece calls for. Compare the finale to Klaus and listen to the differences. Klaus and Oslo pale by comparison. How can any conductor countenance such tame timpani in the finale? Here is Andreas: ua-cam.com/video/oSBfEPAnDsY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=hr-Sinfonieorchester%E2%80%93FrankfurtRadioSymphony Oslo videos are often let down by an unremarkable hall and the fact that the orchestra just doesn't sparkle like a first-class ensemble. So maybe it isn't all Klaus's fault. I don't have anything against Oslo- I own plenty of Jansons recordings that sound fine. But the hype around Klaus is not measuring up. The expectations are just way out of line- he's a kid who needs time to learn, and someone who is no better than dozens of conductors out there, and far less skilled than many of them. Go ahead and take a ride on the hype machine if you like, but you aren't listening critically. Back to Mahler 3: I heard Peter Oundjian conduct this piece with the Colorado Music Festival orchestra and the results were stellar- quite similar to what Orozco-Estrada offers in terms of sonic impact, balances, etc. Who is he? An experienced, modest conductor who can do the job, nothing more.
couldn't agree more with your thoughts on this performance and on Makela. Andreas O-E knows how to do it. Esa-Pekka Salonen with Philharmonia is also on YT and also shows how to do it with nuance. To use a time worn phrase, Klaus is all "style over substance". His histrionics are an irritating distraction more about impressing his audience than communicating anything to the players, which is afterall his job.The music is the star not him, and personally I am not interested in his emotions and i doubt that the players get much from it. I just want him to get the best from the orchestra. I'll bet he knows where every camera is, whereas A O-E & E-P S are focused on the players and the sound they are producing. More often i find the best performances come from the conductors who appear to do the least - possibly because they are more intent on listening to the actual product rather than trying to act out.
his first 3 seconds tell it all 00:36 ...this guy is in command....but unlike others who have become ...well....maybe a little road worn and blasé...this man is full of Finn pride and the owner of a luminous brain...and he flaunts it. Why would he not ? such enlightened authority...for the full duration of this epic symphony...would be reason enough for me to buy a 10k bundle of his shares...without so much as asking for the price. Klaus... i would dust your pupitre if you asked !! and i can see that a majority of them fine musicians would also, no hesitation. I'm being silly here...but i guess you know what i mean
IMO this is lacklustre, bland and has no character. It definitely doesn't pass the "wet eye" test & I'm surprised that the audience was still awake at the end to applaud. there are several other Mahler 3s on UA-cam and they are way better than this.
it's all just mahler, mahler, and sometimes beethoven (gasp) play something original for fucks sake. half the people in the hall have probably never heard of dittersdorf or zelenka even though they're equally or even more talented and skilful than these ones. not that anyone would care, since everything has to be fucking romantic music all the time. what's galant? what's baroque? hell, what's renaissance? no-one outside the academic sphere knows or cares, it's all romantic, romantic, high classical.
We're getting into a deeper and deeper groove with the same repetitive programming as interest in classic music wanes and filling seats becomes the only consideration. Better Mahler and Beethoven than "Pokemon at the Symphony" or whatever, at least.
Superstar Finnish conductor Klaus Mäkelä (pronouced like how "Maix-que-laix" would sound in French...), 28 is the new and youngest head conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since it was founded in 1891. Mäkelä had served previously as chief conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic in Norway since 2020, and the music director of Orhcestre de Paris since 2021. This was announced two days ago. ua-cam.com/video/hut-BTQKoTc/v-deo.html
It is wonderful to hear and see a younger generation listening to the wondrous music that has fulfilled my life for 70 years. One worries that young people have turned away from ever encountering composed music. The schools treat it as an eccentric irrelevant skill or knowledge and most students in North America never have any musical experience. I remember in grade 7 my classes had shop and craft but not music but I managed to slip into an intro to music one day for the older students and the music teacher whose name has forever stayed with me with great honour. Mrs. De Sola introduced me to Tchaikovsky and I fell forever into the world of classical greatness. I did not ever have music training at all but 70 years later here I am enthralled at Mahler's 3rd symphony final movement totally memorized for decades now listening and watching this perfect UA-cam with a mixture of young and mature musicians conducted by a brilliant conductor, Makela. I am so very happy my musical hero Mahler lives today in our hearts.
Me gusta la música de Mahler y veo que hay gente muy joven interpretandola y no se diga del Director que bueno que todo se conjunta y deleita viéndolo s y oyendolos Viva Mahler y sus inter retes😊😊
Very happy to find this video, I recently heard Klaus Mäkelä conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Vienna, he created such a music that made me so moving, especially in the finale.
What a MARVELOUS surprise to find this this morning in suggested videos!! One of my favorite symphonies and an introduction to a very talented and splendid conductor!! And to some other commenters I can hear the tympani quite well.
Ecouter Malher, c'est abolir le déferlement des bruits et des images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. La puissance expressive de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers fabuleux où la couleur et le rythme constituent une respiration qui donne souffle à l'exaltation 🔥🕌✨
Hello! I follow your majestic pace around the stages - always in excellent shape - and since I am a composer I want to ask you if there is any possibility of performing my works to orchestra by you leading (of course). I"ll be glad to be informed in any case. Take care - all the best
Unquestionably, you wild horn-blowers and wand-sawers and stick-pounders - Best Band on the Planet!! Klaus, never forget the Oslo P is truly your home, no matter where you roam, brilliant young man.🧡
Well played, Oslo. Well conducted, Maestro Mäkelä! For me, this is one of Mahler's most interesting symphonies. There are countless surprising moments and truly ravishing parts. My favorite classic recording is Jean Martinon with Chicago in 1963. It's fresh and almost unhinged, almost wild compared to this much more regulated, though elegant performance.
I did not expect this - I was looking for some to work to. Then, I was completely mesmerised and could not stop. This music is so intensiv, I am totally under the spell of the conductor just like every one of the musicians...and I enjoyed the wonderful trombone solo
The flute player's eyes seem to smile all the time and SO talented

WHY DO THESE YOUNG CONDUCTORS ALL THINK THEY CAN CONDUCT MAHLER ? ?
Prosaic. Nothing organic. No sense of the music being created in the moment - just dutifully reading/playing the score.
it's all just mahler, mahler, and sometimes beethoven (gasp)
play something original for fucks sake. half the people in the hall have probably never heard of dittersdorf or zelenka even though they're equally or even more talented and skilful than these ones. not that anyone would care, since everything has to be fucking romantic music all the time. what's galant? what's baroque? hell, what's renaissance? no-one outside the academic sphere knows or cares, it's all romantic, romantic, high classical.

Il faut être Mahler pour écrire 1h40 minutes de musique sans une seconde d'ennui !
Respect to all the musicians here and thank you for sharing this performance.
👏👏👏🙏
1:32:40 beautiful trumpet chorale
Thanks for uploading this as it gives me a chance to see this wunderkind in action: the orchestra is just superb and so committed.
Ecouter Malher, c'est abolir le déferlement des bruits et des images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. La puissance expressive de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers fabuleux où la couleur et le rythme constituent une respiration qui donne souffle à l'exaltation 🔥🕌✨
Finally a recording with clear sound for the solos
It's great to see the Neo-Romantic School baton so ably picked up by a younger generation.
Hello! I follow your majestic pace around the stages - always in excellent shape - and since I am a composer I want to ask you if there is any possibility of performing my works to orchestra by you leading (of course). I"ll be glad to be informed in any case. Take care - all the best
What a glorious performance of an esquisite work of art. Mahler was a genius and Mäkelä is a 21st century genius.
Unquestionably, you wild horn-blowers and wand-sawers and stick-pounders - Best Band on the Planet!! Klaus, never forget the Oslo P is truly your home, no matter where you roam, brilliant young man.🧡
really wish I could see this music in action with movies... WOW, Unglaublich
Well played, Oslo. Well conducted, Maestro Mäkelä! For me, this is one of Mahler's most interesting symphonies. There are countless surprising moments and truly ravishing parts. My favorite classic recording is Jean Martinon with Chicago in 1963. It's fresh and almost unhinged, almost wild compared to this much more regulated, though elegant performance.
Bravo ! Force, finesse, écoute de l'Orchestre... Direction magistrale de ce jeune Chef ! Klaus Makela ... Mahler lui va très bien
