The DVD release of Bernstein's Mahler cycle is a mess. It was shot on film, so could now receive a spectacular high definition Bluray edition... but alas, we're stuck with this botched transfer from 2005. Still, it cleans up well... and honestly... it's Bernstein conducting Mahler. There's not much on this earth as gorgeous as Bernstein conducting Mahler. So I'll forgive pretty much anything.

love to see my father playing the violin 👏🏼, wonderful footage
ooh who's your father here?
2nd "pult" of Violin 2, dark glasses, curly dark hair... in front of the conductor.
Congratulations! That is such a honour!
@@WolfgangWeihs "the conductor" Like he was a nameless, ordinary conductor.
@@adamdraskoczi6071 If I had known that there was someone here who needed to be told who the conductor was, I would have done it ...
The ending of the whole thing deservedly gets talked about the most, what what about that ending of the 1st movement!!
Yeah it just sounds so overly explosive, and I like the ending of the 1st movement better than the ending of the whole thing
The entire 1st movement is exhausting. Powerful, moving, emotiional. AWESOME. Leaves even the listener drained!
I agree the 1'st movement with the waves of rising scales is impressive. The recordings I've heard somehow never seem to make a satisfying thump on the very last note.
That first movement is a whole piece in itself.
This is the music of the beauty and sadness of life mixed into one singularity. Nothing else fills me with such strong feelings of both enlightenment and fulfillment emotionally and intellectually while giving me such despair and tragedy to the point that I can come back to this work every day and feel like my heart and soul merge with my body and mind so perfectly every time, like some form of twisted ecstasy…nothing compares to Mahler’s heavenly music.
The depth of Mahler's work and the way he encapsulates life itself into his music, it is an emotional and exhilarating experience every time.
Good grief! How many ads can they squeeze in at awful moments in this wonderful video. Completely ruins the arc of the entire production.
I've once heard this symphony live - it is undeniably one of a lifetime expirience.
The level of exexcitement was so extreme, that I couldn't make myself stand up and applause, my body felt so numb and exhausted, that I couldn't even breathe properly and my vision went black for a couple of seconds.
So yeah, Mahler is pretty dangerous to listen live😎
IMAGINE GETTING TO SING IT IN A GORGEOUS CATHEDRAL - STILL BRINGS ME TO TEARS TO THINK ABOUT IT. ONE OF THE MOST MOVING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE.
I am soon going to watch the wiener philarmonic play the 9th. I can't wait for it !!!
@@Nermalton77the Vienna university orchestra is apparently playing this, the 8th, soon, check the comments
Saw it perforrned by the Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in around 2008. Breathtaking.
the finale is probably what you hear when you enter the heaven
😂
One of the oldest videos, but surely one of the most authentic and emotional ever. Bravo to Bernstein!
one of the oldest videos?? Hardly... lol
@@louisee7339Right? There are MUCH older videos!
I have heard the 8th symphony in so many recordings, but this is my favorite- breathtaking!
Check Sir Simon Rattle with the Youth Orchestra of Great Brritain at Sir Albert Hall during Proms. Rivals this - on you tube also.
My goodness, now there's a recording that should've been put on a commercial DVD. Utterly, utterly sublime.
Vienna's University Philharmonic is performing this in Vienna in May 2024, I'm so excited to be part of it! It hasn't been performed in Vienna in 7 years. Our choir teacher always says it's not done often anymore because it's too expensive to do with professionals and too difficult to do with amateurs. And we're somewhere in the middle 😄 we did Mahler 2nd 4 years ago and it was my favourite piece that we ever performed. I have Mahler stuck in my head 24/7 and I'm not even mad about it any more 😂
It is regularly performed in Vienna. I have seen it e.g. 2019 live, will also be given again in November.
Mahler was head of the Vienna opera for years.
As Mahler said, “these are no longer human voices.” Here is the Universe sounding and resonating its harmony, its power.
Avevo poco più di 14 anni, ero in platrea con mio padre. Alla fine fui colto dalla classica sindrome di Stendhal e durante gli applausi mi accasciai sulla seggiola e piansi a dirotto!
ive sung both the 8th at San Franscisco Symphony and the 2nd with Philadephia Orchestra---by far the most emotional and moving is the 2nd!
I find the 8th far more affecting, particularly in the last section, beginning with Doctor Marianus' solo Blichet Auf. It seals the impression for me that this is unequivocally Mahler's greatest work. Remarkable that it was composed in only two months.
2nd has too much phoney-baloney religion to suit me.
1st heard the 2nd at. the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in 1970 , Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra with the Capitol District Choral Arts Society. Another favorite.
I've sung the Mahler 2nd with Bernstein in 1967 and Levine in 1981. Doing it with Bernstein was life-altering, with Levine, much less so. I've never sung the 8th Symphony and have only heard it on video and audio recordings.I hope to hear it in live performance with a truly great conductor before I pass on. If I had to choose between the two works, I'd have to pick the 8th Symphony because of it's comprehensive character. Needless to say, both works are an essential part of the classical music compendium.
Has this version been released anywhere in commercial format? Or is this footage the only thing featuring it? The hunt has been driving me mad for years so just asking out of curiosity.
Yes - all Mahler's symphonies have been commercially released by DG in 2005 - the source behind this upload.The film transfers were shoddily done and the sound quality isn't up to much - I did what I could in this upload, but ultimately someone needs to go back to the original prints and transfer them properly. I'd say this has little chance of happening, but a man can wish...
@@glagoliticGreetings! Any chance to remaster rest of the symphonies in this Mahler cycle?
Certo che la pubblicità che interrompe ogni 5 minuti è una gran porcheria!
I had to watch 18 ads in the duration of this symphony! A disgrace for setting ads on this video! A big shame!!!!!
これは、グラモフォンでCD化された1975年8月31日のザルツブルグ音楽祭の名演の直後、9月に行われた演奏を録画したもの。
バーンスタインのパフォーマンスはザルツブルグで完全燃焼した後だけに、最上のコンディションとは言いがたい。得意の指揮台の上でのジャンプも演奏とタイミングが合わなかったり、第一部のクライマックス近くで、ソプラノが一小節遅れで歌っていたり(スコアがないのできちんと確認できていないが)、どうも締まらない。ウィーン・フィルのことなので、多分ザルツブルグの時とは団員の面子はかなり入れ替わっているのだろうが、音楽祭の時と比べるとオーケストラの音のテンションが段違いに低いと感じてしまう。
もし、ザルツブルグ音楽祭での演奏の映像が残せたなら、ロンドン交響楽団との「復活」より見応えのあるものになっただろうに。
Could they cram any more ads into this video? Don't bother with the symphony. Just show the ads!
번스타안과 말러는 죽이 척척맞는 천재로 밖에 볼수없다
Last time i saw this recording it had over 1mil views what happened?
I doubt I'm the only person to ever upload it, but I'm quite confident mine is the best quality.
Jose’s got deleted
First time- that was insane
1:15:20
I didn't know he conducted this one too
Spettacolare, un Capolavoro.❤❤ Grandissimo Bernstein , Meravigliosi tutti.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hermann Prey is the best Pater Ecstaticus I have ever heard - such power
Hermann Prey is simply magnificent here. He gets it.
😎🎹
The funny part is, that hermann prey was a popular singer of volkslieder and even sang some really trashy german schlager in television shows "for old people". But i always wondered because there were some really serious Lied recordings from wellknown composers and always found him outstanding , really emotional, always involved in what he was doing. So that he is doing so well here, is - on the one hand no surprise for me, but than again it is a real suprise he had that artistic range.
This Jewish composer understood the german romantic soul more than any other artist! i LOVE THIS SYMPHONY...
this is a Christian symphony.
Mahler was from Austria.
@@SymphonyBrahmshe was Austrian-Bohemian
@@helbeck4237 nonsense. This symphony is for everyone, its text notwithstanding.
@@fiandrhi Of course, this symphony is for everyone, but I have only written what lies on the surface: Veni Creator Spiritus (Latin for “Come, Creator Spirit”) is a traditional Christian hymn. And if you go further down the structure of the composition, there are Christian motifs everywhere. In form and content, simply everything points to it. But yes, Love is for everyone =)
Thx for HQ videos...
Spectacular Bernstein!
Muchas Gracias por compartir esta grabación histórica.
The start around 27:00 reminds me of a part of his fourth symphony, third movement.

I realize that the title is an exaggeration. But has the symphony ever actually been performed by 1000 people?
Tes
Yes
No its like 980
@@leemonke2692 …
950 on the premiere that Mahler conducted I’m pretty sure
Awesome. But boy is that organ out of tune!
How so?
@@iwasglad122 where?
