    When I started listening Mahler I just thought it was boring, but now I am discovering a whole new universe of great music, Mahler composed differently from other romantic composers, his music is quite odd but the more I listen to his music the more I realize how great it is. Mahler is an acquired taste.

    • @tobilori8824
      @tobilori8824 3 роки тому +77

      true, i think most of his composition is not immediately catchy, but after hearing it a few times, it is very rich and beautiful. If you havent heard it yet, i recommend "ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" from the Rückert Lieder. That is played in the movie Birdman, and its really nice. :)

      @dhjerth 3 роки тому +60

      Agreed. There's just nothing to grab your attention in Mahler. For a long time, I had no idea how to listen to his symphonies, it all just sounded incoherent and indulgent to me. Then I listened to "Das Lied von die Erde", and loved it, and that made something click, the other symphonies suddenly made sense. Now I love Mahler. I love Maaaahler

      @@dhjerth He was the greatest composer of Symphonies by anyone of all time. It started with his Symphony No. 1 which is a landmark work that grabs your heart right from the start! Nobody in history of classical music has been able to achieve this brilliance in such a short amount of time! He only lived 51 short years and composed 10 symphonies that are above and beyond Incredible atleast most people finally agree !!!!!

    A Mahler's 5th for the ages. People will be listening to this performance hundreds of years from now. There probably has never been an orchestra so totally suited to play Mahler's music as this version of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, seen and heard at its peak here. The clarity of all the contrapuntal lines in the finale is amazing. No other performance I've heard (there have been many) has achieved this.

Unlike you, I hadn't heard any other versions other than Karajan's but in the first few bars of the 1st movement, the contrast is already striking. Like you said, the degree of clarity, detail and sheer musicality of Abbado and the LFO elicits boundless admiration and pure joy. This recording and all the others in this series (Mahler symphonies 1 to 7 - Abbado - LFO) are an absolute must-have for any true connoisseur of Gustav Mahler's music.

      @@stewiewonder2601 I got the 4-disc Blu-Ray set (Mahler Symphonies 1-7, Rückert -Lieder + Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.3) from Amazon for around $60 (a great bargain IMO) but not being able to have it on CD was my main complaint to EuroArts and I would have gladly bought those as well. It is possible however to extract the stereo LPCM sound track from those with AnyDVD + TSmuxer and make your own CD's or MP3's using the WavePad editor. The downsides are that AnyDVD is not free and there's about 20 hours of tedious work involved. All depends how badly you want them.

      no disrespect here, but i'm very curious about a few things re mahlers' works: ** i'm 64, a rather casual fan of a very wide spectrum of music; ** Melody-- what are your thoughts on Melody? eg, Hummable tunes; i'm just curious; ** in the mid 90s, i saw a movie (an 'independent', 'art-theater' film), a bio-drama about mahler, family, in which mahler proclaimed ''beethoven is dead'; in one scene, his wife is sitting in the front row, opening night of his latest composition; the movie director made absolutely clear, via extreme close-ups, that the wife was thoroughly, seriously, aghast at the whole thing; ** all this so far, is of course, simply (?) a matter taste--eg, your taste, my taste, the movie directors' taste, mahler fans, etc; ** there are a few minutes of a couple of mahlers' works, that i find quite worth listening to-- the rest? i just don't get it, in a world where one COULD be listening to-- what would one call it__ dozens of bubblegum classical pieces?

      Barry, I understand what you are saying. When I first heard a Mahler Symphony in my university music studies, I didn't appreciate that there was not a 'hummable' melody. I am 68, and only now that I have retired and and been isolated with the Covid crisis, with time on my hands, have I really started listening to Mahler. And I only started listening to his music because it is conducted by Claudio Abbado, who's work am I discovering is truly amazing.
      What I am learning, as I listen to more and more of Abbado's work - and through the youtube documentaries about him - is that to him, music is about emotion and passion on a deep level - he does not have an ego with this. Now, when I listen to these youtube recordings, I feel these emotions from deep inside ME - they often make me cry, as they are so beautiful and moving. And when I watch and listen to these recordings, I hear and see that Abbado feels and transmits immense joy and energy (as in this symphony) or sublime calm (please listen to Mahler's 3rd symphony with Abbado, especially the beautiful slow 4th movement, starting at about 45:10, I think), and all of the emotions in between.
      To me, he is the only conductor that truly becomes one with his orchestra and brings out these passions from all of the orchestra members. In one documentary that I saw about him in rehearsal, he tells the orchestra members to listen to one another - his musicians say that he does not think of himself as the boss, but rather, he is able to bring all of the different 'musical lines' together.
      This means that there is not one melody, but that different instruments have different counter-melodies that are all woven together. So, there is generally no one hummable melody, as there are many all flowing together. These are called contrapuntal lines, and what I am beginning to appreciate in Mahler's music, is that despite all of these different instrumental lines going on at the same time, there is an over-riding passion and emotion that Abbado's orchestra is able to bring together through their conductor. When I look at video shots showing the whole orchestra, I see the musicians all moving intensely together, with the same energy, as if they are one. It's quite magical, and not something I really see with other conductors and orchestras. And looking at Abbado's and their faces, I can see the joy and emotion that they are experiencing. I hope you continue listening to more of Abbado and his work, for I have been learning a lot. Sometimes, I will even get up and listen, when I can't sleep in the middle of the night!

    A great video of the the Lucerne Festival Orchestra 2004 hand picked by Abbado. Some critics called these concerts as some of the best orchestral playing ever recorded. With very good speakers this video is very special. Given the fact that Abbado has passed, this shows him before his health problems. All the Abbado Lucerne concerts show that he wanted to make music with only special people. Some special musicians show up in all his festival concerts. Abbado was a great humanitarian.

    I have listened to this stupendous performance now five times!
    A million comments are possible - but how clear it is that in this symphony Mahler shows with complete rhetorical eloquence how s/he inhabits two vastly separated worlds.
    That of pre-Great War Vienna, of supreme opulence and exquisite sensibility and philosophical ambition. The world of Klimpt and Schiele, the Vienna Secession, of Karl Krauss, of the symbolist Arnold Schoenberg who wrote "Transfigured Night" and "Pelleas und Melisande". Of Freud, and early Thomas Mann, and the family Wittgenstein.
    And then it is as if we are ejected out of such decadent refinements, and into the biting world of cynicism, parody and surrealism of post-war Berlin and Vienna .... of shattered empires and crippled veterans on every corner, and rouged yet starved erotic services girls and boys fucking and sucking their way from one day to the next. A vista of millions pointlessly slaughtered, and the grinding bitterness of Otto Dix and Max Beckmann.
    A world of Dadaism, surrealism, of politicised psychoanalysis, of revolutionary Marxist Leninist politics and art, of Brecht and the Bauhaus.
    The world also of the Frei Corps and the incipient bacillus of reactionary petit-bourgeois fascism. Where the ideas of rationality and progress were just twisted rubbish, and one could do nothing but mouth and parrot obsolete ideas. One soon to be blessed even further by the economic and social whirlwind of the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
    That is why Mahler's music is often so simultaneously heartbreaking, and sentimental, and self-consciously bathetic-banal-trashy, and yet sensuous and profound, and full of quotes and echoes and mockeries and parodies. Music of stunning polyphonic brass chorales praising and straining for a heaven lost forever. As if one was taking a cup of hemlock tasting like vintage champagne to celebrate the beauties that once existed.
    In that way, Mahler is one of the finest and most ironic "socialist-realist artists" of any modern era.
    Indeed, to hear much of his work, with contemporary ears, is to be (what analogy can one grasp) walking in 1945 through the ghettos of Warsaw and Kraków, haunted by the lives of the millions slain and thrust into the ovens, and the ghastly sight of their cities in rubble. A world of Kafka and absurdism and Sonderkommandos, and the outraged analysis and protests of Hannah Arendt.
    Mahler is a "pre-figuring prophet and witness" to that complete destruction of the confidence of the Enlightenment which still envelopes and strangles our present world. Our lives are what? An idiotic morally and psychologically depraved "escapade in techno-fantasy", the extolling of masculine emotional infantilism and eroticised depravity, moral and psychical and emotional and political bankruptcy masquerading as an enlightened "absolute novelty" wrought of a vast demented fiction gloriously enrobed as "Virtual Reality".
    In short, an epoch of revolting masculine and patriarchal "psychical cripples" strutting with huge technical prowess.
    A globally interconnected world of light-speed rumours and manufactured outright lies, of a million childish perspectives prompted to microscopic focus on complete trivia, of malevolent yet tremulous and timorous government agencies spying upon billions of fools who blindly trust their absolute political and financial masters. Of impending global chaos as the nuclear tipped Yankee Petro-Dollar Empire teeters into collapse. Of the new Nazis in Tel Aviv, murdering and displacing millions of Untermenschen now called Palestinians. How well our Zionist brothers and sisters have become enthralled by this psychotic entrapment, so luridly manifested by the failed painter and paranoid pamphleteer form Vienna.
    All these worlds are the handicraft of men, and of their ever-ready but misguided co-conspirators, drawn from the ranks of far too many women, who ought to know better.
    Love, andrea
