These young performers sounded wonderful. To be a part of this monumental work of genius will be one of the best memories of their long musical lives. As a composer I stand in awe of Mahler's ability to compose a 23 minute work that makes perfect sense from beginning to end.
Why is the bass drum roll always so underplayed at the climax of the long brass chorale in this movement (21:38)? It's marked to be as loud as the timpani roll. It makes a huge difference when you can actually hear it. Otherwise, this was very good. Bychkov is one of the best Mahler conductors out there today.
shame on the brass and 2nd row winds for being on their phones never looking up - literally - to watch and learn something from this master. I can't believe phones are allowed in rehearsal here.
Musicians playing with their phones in the back row instead of listening to their colleagues and learning from the conductor. Horrible lack of respect.
This is the best 24 minutes of my life
That was an absolutely fantastic rehearsal. Great that your concert was so successful.Well deserved. Great job!
Thank you! 😊
Great words from Bychkov at the end 24:07
WOW one great
performance ❤ 🎉
Much admiration for Maestro Bychkov.
This is how What Love Tells Me should be told.

The process of getting a piece of music show-ready is exciting to witness too. Especially this one.
Probably the best thing I did in my four years at the Academy. Wish you'd played all of Semyon's advice from the end though!
