- Adagietto. Sehr Langsam, piano transcription performed and transcribed by Alexandre Tharaud. Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor, 1901-02. Alexander Tharaud, Montpellier piano recital, France. 25.VII.2014
Gustav Mahler - Adagietto pour piano, extrait de la Symphonie n°5. Arrangement par Alexandre Tharaud. Concert donné le 25 Juillet 2014 à l'Opéra Berlioz dans le cadre du Festival Radio France et Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon
"In the Fourth movement, the famous Adagietto, very slowly, harp and strings alone play. The opening melody recalls two of Mahler's songs, "Nun seh' ich wohl" (from Kindertotenlieder) and the separate Ruckert setting "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen". The long upbeats and expressive appoggiaturas of the melodic lines give the music a yearning, almost heart-breaking quality. The intensity that builds up inthis movement finaly assuages the darkness and doubts of the earlier movements, making the lighter mood and extrovert energy of the Rondo-Finale acceptable. Together, these two movements form the third part of the symphony. The formal function of the Adagietto is ambiguous. It acts as an introduction to the last movement, which follows without a break, and is thematically bound to it, for twice in the Finale we hear the Adagietto's main theme, now at a fast tempo.
Even without a text or programme, the music's emotional and referential content implies an existential dimension. Without an explicit programme or titles, we have few clues to the "meaning" of the Fifth Symphony other than the music itself. Mahler offers some guidance by grouping the five movements, which share some thematic Material, as well as an obsession with death, from the first part; the central scherzo stands alone as the second part; and the lat two movements, which are also linked thematically, form the third.
An essential aspect of Mahler's symphonies is the idea of emotional and spiritual progression, through various alternatives to a (provisional) conclusion. One important means he uses to articulate this spiritual journey is the technique of progressive tonality. In other symphonies he begins and ends movements in diferent keys, but in the Fifth each movement begins and ends in the same key; however as a whole, it moves from C sharp minor opening movement to the D major of the third and fifth movements.
One reason for Mahler's significance and influence as a composer is that he viewed his music as a means of seeking and expressing solutions to the problems of his personal, spiritual life. The Depth and seriousness of these problems naturally drew him to the largescale form of the symphony, wich he expanded in length and number of movements to unprecedented proportions.

Was listening to this with my father as he just passed before me. Thank you for such a good rendition.
Sorry for your loss.
...I am really sorry for your loss ,🥀..this music is from the other world..
My thoughts are with you and your father sir.
From WIKI: Tharaud refuses to keep a piano in his residence because of his belief that he will begin to prefer the pleasure of improvisation to the necessity of rigorous work. He prefers to practice on different instruments at friends' residences. He composes, but is usually discreet regarding this activity. Before each recording he goes and lays flowers at the tomb of Chabrier in the Montparnasse Cemetery. When asked what a camera would record if it were present at his recording sessions, he replied that he sings, shouts, dances, and argues with the piano ("absurd behaviour - comportements ridicules").

Wonderful piece of music and I like the pianists attitude
What a great arrangement! It's always good to hear Mahler on piano, of course, that being the instrument he composed all his works on, it just makes sense. If you read Alma, Alma Mahler's memories of Gustav you'll know that he was able to play through all his symphonies on piano, sometimes before orchestrating them at all! This is probably very close to what he actually would have played. Bravo
Yes,a bit ultra....but great in any way
Monsieur Tharaud, like Liszt, Busoni and all the great masters of the art of piano transcription, understands that in order to translate successfully the sound of the orchestra or the voice to the piano you must make full use of this instrument's immense resources and here he does it brilliantly!. Other arrangements of this piece just fall flat because they dont understand this simple fact and are too "respectful" of the original. Even Mahler's own piano versions of his orchestral works don't convey the beauty of his orchestral sound. Chapeau Mr.Tharaud!
Mahler is like a sensual and attentive lover, tenderly caressing every part of his piece lovingly, but always pulling back and delaying the ultimate climax you know must be coming in Mahler.
Très belle transcription pour piano, très romantique, de cet Adagietto de la symphonie n°5 de Gustave Mahler. Bravo pour le travail que cela a dû nécessiter ! Non, transcrire, ce n'est pas trahir mais faire honneur au compositeur. Encore Bravo
This is most beautiful. I feel as if this arr. stands for its own, as well as the performance of the pianist. Bravo!
I have never heard this as a piano piece. You did it infinite justice in so far as I could not breathe from the beauty of it.
What a wonderful comment. Thank you.
Aqui está mais um exemplo daquilo que não podemos encontrar palavras, porque são profundamente sentidas , vivenciadas e verbalmente impossíveis de ser pronunciadas.
I love the excess. It's necessary when the piano attempts to be the orchestra.
Yes very rich
The piano doesn’t have the sustain so he relies on more short notes to make up for it.
There is no excess, those are the same notes.
It’s just that, in the orchestra recordings you listen to, the sound from the strings and the harp are merged together. In a live performance you would hear each of them a lot more distinctly.
U can watch the Canadian ice dancing couple virtue n moir skate to this it was just exquisite (2010 for the gold n they nailed it) u can watch on utube sadly they have retired from skating completion I had never heard this music before n fell in love with it
i'd like to send my greatest admiration to mr alexandre tharaud.
me too
Excelente transcripción para piano, va con toda la fuerza, la profundidad y nobleza que caracteriza la música de Gustav Mahler. Sencillamente magistral.
There's always someone in the audience coughing with live recordings like this. Kind of irritating lol
Something like this was the first Mahler's audition of his adagietto, playing it on his own piano to Alma, to whom was dedicated as a love declaration.
A Tharaud est de loin le meilleur transcripteur de l'adagietto
jean-claude Bluet Juste Merveilleux! De même son interprétation des variations Goldberg!
perfect and clear and transparence for better comprehension of orchestral version
This is quite excellent. I can't believe you've done this tremendous work such justice. Brilliant!
If it's excellent, the quite has no place.
Las lágrimas de Gustav reducidas al espíritu del piano... bellísimo arreglo!
Гениальная музыка Малера не оставляет равнодушным. Прекрасное фортепьянное переложение и исполнение. Спасибо. Россия.Москва.
Some interesting ideas in the arrangement, but I'm baffled by why he rewrote the accompaniment triplets, to become so monotonously relentless. Mahler's rhythms are much more interesting and (probably deliberately) leave the listener uncertain about the exact location of beats. It sounds very square to pump out triplet after triplet without leaving space between.
Eager to hear your transcription. I'm uncertain about the exact location where I can find it. Beats me.
@@charleshudson5330 I didn't need to do my own. I recorded one by Mercuzio, which works very nicely.
@@charleshudson5330 Leave it.Waste of time.This is a great arrangement,beautifully played and .....that's what it is to it.
@@cziffra1980 You mean the one Paul Barton plays?Cool.Different approach ....some of us can enjoy both.Nothing wrong in any of them approaches,hence.....chill:)
@@georgevraca2738 there's room for different approaches. But there's also room to be baffled at replacing the interesting and varied with something more ordinary and plain. The interesting thing about the original is the ambiguity of the rhythm. I don't really see why it needs such constant spelling out of the pulse.
Miraculously good. …. I'm speechless.. music less...
Wonderful piano pieces played by brilliant pianists connects with the soul of the listener without a single word. Piano music enlightens the soul and many a times helps to reach a better place in this ephemeral existence.
Bravo ! Encore mieux sans images. Mais c'est peut-être mieux de désactiver les commentaires car ils n'apportent rien. Que des clichés et des âneries.
Exquisite transcription,congratulations Mr Tharaud !
I so want to find this scores... Love this transcription
So have you found it? If so, I’d would like to have it too. So beautiful!!!!
@@loveispatient0808 no :(

Bravo! Bravissimo! Excellent transcription - played magnificently!! Captured the Mahler´s spirit perfectly.
Magnífico, impresionante! ....
Qué horror esa estruendosa tos en la última nota que hay que dejar que se evapore.....es para matar al tosedor. Debería haber un técnico que la borre de la grabación.
Слезы счастья и радости
А скажите пожалуйста где можно найти ноты этой транскрипции?

Big thanks from korea for this sharing & beautiful play that break my heart... what a melody...
Actually the original version was not my favorite. but his strikingly beautiful play took my breath away, literally.
Prekrasan adagio..ponekad je dobro cuti samo klavir bez orkestra..jutarnje misli uz Mahlera
A Tharaud est de loin le meilleur transcripteur de l'adagietto, rendez-le disponible pour nous s'il vous plaît!
es una experiencia muy agrdable escuchar esta pieza Enhorabuena...
Alexander Tharaud qui possède un génie de plusieurs transcriptions donne dans cette œuvre si émouvante une interprétation passionnée aux modulations très structurées et d'une rare beauté poétique qui vous tire des larmes en suivant mentalement le film éponyme de Visconti qui demeure un chef d'œuvre d'interprétation. Alexandre Tharaud a eu le génie de capter l'essence même de l'adagietto . Mais ,que de travail !!...mes plus sincères félicitations mais qui sont si peu de chose devant l'œuvre recrée. Un grand merci à ce très grand Artiste .
I absolutely love this.
Breathtaking....Ingenious.....BRAVO, Maestro Tharaud.....from Mexico City!
Lisztian......More SOFTER modulations would have been good....
Instigante experiência, com resultado brilhante.
Who could imagine that Mahler would suit so nicely in a piano arrangement?
I'm not able to listen to Mahler's 5th without dying in the attempt, and it's very frustrating, since everybody "respects" it for its "historical value" and blablablablabla... Nevertheless, One must understand that everything is about taste and nobody should force you into liking something. Sadly, this happens a lot in classical music environments.
This attitude towards sharing my experience through this cold-inhuman means (Internet and UA-cam) is that I'd like to applaud your interpretation, because it represents one way to listen to Mahler differently. It becomes refreshing and less intimidating than the so glorious original version.
I know I may never enjoy it more than the 3rd Symphony (my favourite of them all) , but this is a great start to at least trying to understand the artistic-emotional contents of the 5th.
Thanks very much for sharing and greetings from Colombia, from someone else who's also made of music.
+John Bell Young sorry, I do not like what kind of vocabulary you are using! No matter how much you agree or disagree. The awfull and unpleasant way how you communicate with others can also reflect your taste in general…
personally, I do not like any kind of arrangements, since I think, that composer would have written that or any other pieces for other instrument, if he would have really wanted to do that. By another words, I do not find this transcription that bad as you describe. You are not a musical God to make such ugly judgment about an experiment… excuse me…
+Vladimir Bukac
But Mahler did some transcriptions of his symphonic( for instance , he even made a rehearsal of the 5th first mvt ( Trauermarsch) ) and he composed from piano to orchestra... ( see his Lieder and many parts of his 4 first symphonies .
I understand what you say...I love Rachmaninov but I find his Symphony 1 unpleasant to hear...I know I'm talking about a genius but I'm not forced to like everything in classical music...I love Rachmaninov's piano works though...
Julian Pernett Castilla In my opinion all of Mahlers music is all very pianistic. His amazing and vivid orchestration hides this fact. The arpeggiation, trills, subtle textures, independent chromatic lines, all come from the approach of a pianist, which he was first and foremost.
Historical value? Well I guess. But I think it's respected for the fact that it is such a masterpiece. Why not embrace it all? For your sake. If you can handle the 3rd you can handle all of it. Strange response, you.
gives me goosebumps...
Turning Mahler into a Liszt knock off.. tasteless
Listz would be proud of this transcription. Sounds like Listz in fact.
For me sounds like Rachmaninov
@Jordan Schlansky Yes, maybe in an upright piano. But a concert grand? By Steinway? The difficulty is to stop the endless reverberations!
@Jordan Schlansky So you like Austrian composers in addition to all things Italian? ;-)
After a fulfilling productive day, one rewards oneself with this. What a beautiful way to cap the day.
Qu'est-ce que c'est bien cette transcription !!
Quelques fausses notes (canards), sinon c'est pas mal.

Where can I get the music? transcribed by Tharaud.
Une transcription aussi fidèle à l'original que merveilleusement interprétée !
Wow, this works wonderfully
좋구나.. 말러!!
So beautiful, I have heard it with orchestra with the great master conductor Leonard Bernstein.
Then orchestra with just incredible images, seem like from Norway??
And few great photos of him, his beautiful wife melting into the music.
G.Mahler was born in my native country, then under then austro-hungarian empire. Died in 1911, 8 years before liberation and creation of free Czech rep.
Free for only 20 years.
Then with the choir, beautiful and now this so rich piano performance!
Thank you!
I like so much.One of my preferences.-
Dove posso trovare lo spartito di questa meravigliosa trascrizione?
Maravilhoso!!!!
Belleza máximaaaaaaa, gracias
I never though that such faithfull and accurate transcri^ption of such a massive work coule be done in the 21th century. Alexandre Tharaud is a true genius.
Liszt proud of this transcription? interesting... and notoriously Mahler and Liszt have so much in common! ; )
Better on a Grotrian Steinweg
Brava brava
Rien que l'intro et les premieres notes, ça coupe le souffle…
hummmm, not easy to say if it's enough (for me) only piano for Adagietto!, anywayI like the beginning...
*******************************************
it exists a marvelous transcription of this piece by Otto Singer. Why should one have to make a new transcription, which is not better?
L’interprétation est somptueuse comme toujours avec lui mais le piano n’ est vraiment pas à la hauteur de l’artiste!! Dommage
Unglaublich schön, ähnlich Stefan Mickisch Interpretation von Tristan und Isolde
기침소리 너무 짜증
Perfect.
On entre là dans l'âme de Gustav Mahler, dans son rêve d'atteindre la grâce par son génie.
G.Mahler ist begraben in Grinzinger Friedhof XIX.Bezirk - ich war dort ♫♪♥
Dans cette transcription l'oeuvre de Malher prend un relief inattendu. On voit la mer étale du film de Visconti et tous les gouffres de l'âme malherienne.
Too much agudos!
Extraordinário e maravilhoso!!!
Simply extraordinary. Thank you.
wonderful .. congrats..
A wonderful transcript, conveying the full emotion of the original intent. I wonder what a more minimalistic interpretation would sound like.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
la performance est bien là mais qu'en est-il de la musique au final ? je ne suis pas séduite par cette transcription.
@Nell Santini
- La finale est très fidèle à l'oeuvre originale, je trouve
Et les fausses notes (canards) n'arrangent rien.
Esto es excelente
8:50 I am disappointed specially at this point
Simplement sublime…
Je l'aime beaucoup. c'est tres beau !!!! trop beau.....Magnifique !
muchísimas gracias...
amazing
Magnifique
Superbe transcription de l'adagietto de Malher, beaucoup plus virtuose que celle des autres pianistes John Belle young et Cyril Saint Amour, les plus faciles à trouver sur youtube. Il faudrait qu'Alexandre Tharaud l'enregistre en CD !
Quelques fausses notes (canards), sinon c'est pas mal.
Sounds so close to Liszt
Lovely
alexandre, please come to play again, its marvelous !
Ay Dios, qué expresivo.
waow, je n'imaginais pas qu'on pût faire une transcription aussi réussie de l'adagietto de la 5e. Je le redécouvre sans ce côté lancinant qu'il a à l'orchestre et qui me prend à chaque dois aux tripes.
ça sort des tripes.
Et ce qui sort des tripes c'est de la .......
I love this so much I can't stand it!
MARAVILHOSO, SUBLIME, SENSACIONAL,.............
Avez-vous publié votre transcription pour piano de cet adagietto de Mahler et comment pourrais-je me la procurer?

There is a transcription for this? Wow...
No necesita la orquesta
Such beautiful lament.
