It's because their taste is corrupted by songs that talk about things in this life which don't worth, songs that make them do things without thinking. I've listened this masterpiece a lot of times and i never get bored. Its wonderful
I can never not cry at the finale of this piece. I wish the lyrics were on the screen because they matter so much. I am not religious but that message of hope, that my heart will rise again, that nothing is lost, that I should prepare myself to live once again… that message has gotten me through many rough periods in my life.
This symphony is called the symphony of resurrection, it tries to show us what the next life sounds and feels like, in my opinion this symphony also explains how we are able to die not only physically but emotional and mentally and we must rise again, because we’ve come to this world to struggle and fight for what we think we deserve, our goals and ambitions. Stop trembling and prepare yourself to live
My god. I never had the willpower to listen to the whole symphony. I never understood why so many people praise this as their favorite piece of music. Today, I finally understood why it is called "Resurrection". I cry very seldom, almost never. I used to think that a piece of music, however beautiful, couldn't evoke strong emotions in me. But when the choir and orchestra climaxed, at the very end of the fourth movement, I started sobbing like a baby. I am so grateful to know about this symphony.
Trust me, when heard in person it has a totally different taste, it's like you are watching all the air particles converge to the stage, it has a soul and it will live you totally speechless
Abbado direct without reading a single note. He perfectly knows the entire score, any instrumet part, tempo, expression, sound. He is in total control of the simphony and can move beyond with the orchestra in the realm of MUSIC. That's how the great conductor works.
@@Josef_1186 Is the voice actually an instrument though? People always distinguish between singers and instrumentalists (I am not saying that one is superior to the other to clarify).
The scale of Mahler's symphonies remains unmatched. The size of the choir alone is mindblowing. The orchestra with 2 Harps and all of this is directed by one of the better conductors that have walked earth. Nothing more to say than "impressive"
My first ever orchestral concert was this piece, I went in with a mindset I'd be bored and sleep halfway through. Quite the opposite. I could barely see at the end of it from the tears, it was glorious and I was hooked on classical music ever since. It felt like watching a movie.
I'm glad your intro to orchestral music was this piece, one of the top symphonies of the Romantic-era. You could ask for a better introduction? A great Romantic symphony has tons of great stuff in it.
There is incredible emotion in this music, Mahler manages to make tears roll from my eyes when I hear it. I listen almost exclusively to classical music, Mahler is one of my top 5 composers, including his songs - bread for the soul!!!
Every single symphony of Mahler's are masterpieces! Yes this one is amazing but so are the other 8. This Symphony is all the more amazing because it is a fantastic orchestra performing! And the icing on the cake is the glory of Claudio Abbado conducting!!!. It is such a loss that Abbado is not with us any longer.
I had the joy and privilege of being part of the chorus that performed this work last night (April 3, 2017) with the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra. For the past 6 months, Maestro Abbado's version has been my constant companion - not just my study guide. So glad that this was published - a brilliant version of an epic piece of music - and that the effort of the musicians can live on electronically.
First time hearing Mahler, I was reccommended the 2nd symphony, I feel like I was in good hands with Claudio Abbado presenting it to me for the first time, it was a journey I will never forget. Thank you EuroArts for making this available to us.
I am not a musician and only have a light education in music but I can tell you that music like this takes me to another world it seems. The thing about many other composers are their work is repetitious in a way that the music can be easily remembered (or at least the main motif can). Mahler's work is much more complex than that. A symphony like this has wonderful developmental sections, beautiful quiet passages, "stormy" sections where the tension builds, and explosive climaxes (one of the things I like best about his music and can be heard in its glory as early as the 4th movement of his 1st symphony). I have never heard music so moving in both overall tone and emotional impact as Mahler's works. I can relate to the commenters that state they tear up when listening to Mahler's work. The emotional impact is huge. Luckily I discovered his music early in my life (in my college years) so I was able to enjoy it for decades and still going. Listening to it now as I am typing this. I think if I was at this live concert I would go thru a whole box of tissues. It touches my soul.
I'm with you on this. I've lived on a diet of punk music, Japanese grindcore, hard and psychedelic rock... and Mahler. I have all his symphonies and return to them often. I've tried the others (I don't mind a bit of Chopin when he's creepy, and I do love Salome by R.Strauss) but Mahler's the only classical composer I collect and listen to. I'm not sure exactly why (I can't describe it musically), but your description above explains a lot.
Mahler's symphony number 2 is one of the most magnificent creations in the history of classical music. It never fails to take me into the world of an unknown beauty.The sublime perfection of Mahler's tunes creates a spectrum of pristine emotions within my brain.
The last 10 minuets of this changed my life forever, and this is only going back to last October. Ever since I've fallen in love with all of Mahler's works.
56:58 this is one of the few recordings where the strings are heard clearly. i know most people prioritize the brass melody but i think this particular performance features both strings and brass equally well
Probably my favorite piece of orchestral music ever. I have never heard the human voice so perfectly blended into the orchestra, not separate, but in incredible communion. Thank you Claudio Abbado for your insightful reading and translation of Gustav Mahler's work. When I found this on youtube I listened to it, and had to stop what I was doing and go into my 'music room' to turn on my much more robust sound system to really listen and feel the sound. (no ads were seen or heard) I've loved this piece for decades, and seldom hear it without tearing up at least once during the performance. The emotion, the soul, the truly spiritual essence that Mahler imparted in this piece is overwhelming.
Yo sin la música clásica no puedo vivir,; me llena, me anima, me ayuda a reflexionar sobre la vida en el mundo que nos toca vivir y me da mucha serenidad ante los acontecimientos propios y ajenos. Gracias a todos los músicos que sin ellos no tendríamos estás y otras vivencias.
I am missing you abado. You were the man who loved the music and the human. You always made me moved by your humble attitude as well as by the playing the symphonies.
I can't help but feel as if Claudio Abbado is the embodiment of Gustav Mahler in his absolute artistry and vitality. Conductor Abbado pays his authentic tribute to the composer and conductor Mahler. Tremendous work is this Mahler's II. symphony.
Ich liebe Gustav Mahler. Eine der schönsten Sinfonien überhaupt. Maestro Abbado hat hier eine wunderschöne Aufführung gezaubert. Was für ein Klangkörper! Das ist ja unglaublich!
My God. I am on the floor, weeping at the raw emotion I just experienced. This raw beauty. This raw passion. I never thought I could be this moved by a recording... especially one found on RUclips. All three of us Americans who still love deep art - the type that elevates the human soul- appreciate this. My sensations are beyond words. I wish I could fully articulate what I'm feeling right now.
I've cried loudly and silently several times with this performance and with Maestro abbado's death. What a music and what a man. I wish I would have met him.
OMG!!! Brothers Capücon ( violin and cello) among many other best musicians around Europe in this outstanding orchestra and with one of the best conductors!! Mahler music is most worthy for this!!
To listen Mahler music is difficult like to solve mathematics exam and need many times, mental energy but l like all Mahler musics. I am malherian. From daegu city in Korea
The brain of a man, through his music, communicates with my brain causing profound emotion, even, sometimes, tears and goosebumps. And the man died more than a hundred years ago.
Eccellente esecuzione del grande Claudio Abbado, che dirige senza la partitura davanti, il quale ha memorizzato ogni frazione della lunga e complessa sinfonia N. 2 di Mahler. Una composizione di tardo romanticismo ma con aperture importanti alle innovative produzioni musicali di primo Novecento. Composta in un periodo importante della vita di Mahler, questa sinfonia esprime bene il conflitto interiore del compositore, tra certezza del nulla esistenziale e la speranza, seppur di palliativa consolazione, di una grandiosa resurrezione finale.
The part beginning roughly in 57:00 is the one which strikes me most, even more that the finale itself. The feel it brings of awakening, enlightenment, alleviation and conclusion is very impressive, as if it was stronger to recollect that sensation in this symphony than really experiencing it in life.
Superb camera work, following the instruments on cue, section by section. Adding to the pleasure of the music and showcasing the talent of the musicians, chorus and conductor. A great experience for us all to enjoy. Thanks to all concerned.
Fra poche ore è nuovamente l anniversario del tuo compleanno Maestro G. MAHLER.... Auguri di cuore "dovunque tu sia" assieme alla tue meravigliose partiture, veramente geniali e un affettuoso ricordo al maestro Abbado tuo grande interprete e grande direttore!!!!!!
What a stunning performance. Just wow. Sobbing like a baby at the climax Aufersteh'n. Can't believe I haven't come across this before. And it seemed like each member of the orchestra was a force of nature barely held in check, but with such gentle control, by the maestro. There was something in the air in Lucerne that day.
The absolute uniformity and contrast of male and female dress codes in the chorus, their symmetrical disposition according to height, and the absence of scores from which to read their parts - all is learned, and perfectly delivered from memory (although the instrumentalists have scores but the conductor does not) - together create an overwhelming impression on the mind and the spirit.
To watch Abbado conduct is an an unforgettable experience. His passion and devotion to the music is what makes an interpreter of his caliber a master conductor. Just like Bernstein before him, Abbado had no peer.
Mahler es sin duda mi compositor favorito y en el poco tiempo que llevo escuchando música académica (de los 15 a las 18) ha logrado mostrarme un perspectiva de la música y del arte en general completamente renovada. La sinfonía Resurrección fue su segunda obra que escuche justo un par de minutos después de enfrentarme al final de su primera sinfonía y la que mayor éxtasis me ha producido, convirtiéndose así en mi obra preferida (la he escuchado sábados y domingos enteros de tal modo que la puedo cantar toda de memoria). Como toda las obras que escucho por primera vez las reproduzco en youtube, fue esta versión la de Claudio Abaddo con la orquesta del festival de Lucerna la primer que escuche y de ahí no pare de amasar versiones (Abbado - Chicago, Solti - Chicago, Rattle - Berlin, Bernstein - Londres, Boulez - Viena, Chailly - Gewandhaus, Mehta - Viena, Haitink - Dresden, Tilson Thomas - San francisco, Kubelick - Baviera, Jurowski - Londres, Walter - New york, Gergiev - Londres y Munich, Tennstedt - Londres, Klemperer - Orquesta Philharmonia, Jarvi - Frankfurt, y quizas algunas que por falta de meomoria olvide). Sin embargo mi grabación favorita es la de Lenoard Bernstein dirigiendo en 1963 a la filarmónica de New York , una experiencia según mi criterio etérea, mas aun si cuentas con el remaster japones en SACD y el equipo adecuado. En fin, Mahler ha impacto mi mundo de tal modo que no solo me abrió una ventana a nuevos compositores como Debussy, Bruckner, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Berg, Schoenberg, Ravel, Scriabin, Messiaen y Bartok, que para un enardecido seguidor de Brahms resultaron todos deslumbrantes (no se confundan, aun sigo amando su cuarta sinfonía, sus dos concierto para piano, su concierto para violín o su quinteto para clarinete), sino que también me impulso a tomar la decisión de estudiar concienzudamente música . En efecto, si tuviera la oportunidad de conocer, de poder conversar con una persona de antaño seria sin duda el gran Gustav Mahler.
I’ve listened to this piece in it’s entirety probably about 40 times in my life and it can still bring me to tears. Oh why couldn’t Mahler live to be 1000.
Esta grabación de la 2 sinfonia de Mahler está considerada como de las mejores de la historia, espectacular version ,hasta el mismísimo Beethoven lloraría de emoción.
I am a regular visitor of this particular performance, in good and bad times. And the great Abbado does not disappoint. I've lost count of the different rendtions I have listened to (from the essential Mehta and Bernstein to Solti and Rattle) but the one that hits me harder is this one; perhaps because of the choir and the visuals, the facial expressions of the conductor, I still can't get my head over why this one hits me like a thunder (and I end up weeping!)
I have enjoyed this symphony countless times. It never loses its power to move me. There is something very special here, something transcendent and spiritual.
The guy with a grey coat at 1:23:09 couldn't hold his tears. Even listening at home, I can't hold them myself. At the end of the performance so many of the audience seem to be reacting as if it's a normal song. Their faces seem so bored, but that man really expresses what Mahler wanted for us when listening to his works: It's supposed to move you and your life and to make you leave the concert hall with a different mind and a different heart. I'm so sorry for those who had the unique chance to contemplate it and couldn't engage in such experience.
Vintage Abbado knowing all, expressing all to do Mahler's genius justice. RIP, caro maestro. (Lovely shot of Bruno Ganz in the audience, RIP to you, too, maestro).
This is in my opinion by far the best performance available that I know of. I can't find a single other that makes the orchestra/chorus sound so perfectly in harmony. He's a genius!
What a wonderful orchestra the Lucerne Festival Orchestra is! I admire their dynamic playing, still with transparency, where all the parts fit together perfectly to shape a total unity.
A super impressive piece. I find Mahler's music more satisfying than any other composer. It surprises me to read that Mahler's main goal was not to be a composer, yet he seems to have surpassed many other great composers. I had the pleasure to hear Mahler 4 and 5 played live but I never heard this one live.
Maestro Abbado conducting Mahler is absolutely sublime. I have listened to the fourth three times consecutively.. never heard such an excellent version!! In future will only look for el Maestro when listening to the great Mahler!!!!!
I can't forget the emotion of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 performed by the Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester that I heard in Berlin in the winter of 2018. I listen to this music on the last day of every year. I am moved every time I listen to it.
An absolutely remarkable performance. Incredible orchestra, such virtuosity and splendour in the sound, and Abbado was simply one of the greatest conductors of our era. I sorely regret not seeing him live when he was still with us.
I am allways mesmerized by the ballet of a maestro hands and the contrast of the intense facial expressions. And this Ressurection overcomes me with emotions, wishing that my loved ones over the beyond be at peace and joy.
Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum fast alle Menschen sagen, dass klassische Musik langweilig ist. Hier gibt wunderschönste, dramatischste und bunte Musik als andere. Viele Grüße aus Japan
What is life? What is the meaning of existing? Why do we suffer? What will come next? Will there be a life after death? These are the questions that Mahler obsessively poses in the Second Symphony, and to which he presents a confident answer in the last movement: the Resurrection, the belief that we live many lives.
Запредельный драматизм музыки и блестящее исполнительское мастерство оркестра и Maestro Abbado -просто потрясающе! Это по настоящему достает до глубины души! Браво Gustav Mahler, браво Abbado, браво оркестр. Браво RUclips
Sempre emozionante e commovente Abbado in uno dei più grandi capolavori del genio umano. Il finale è qualcosa di indescrivibile che trascende l'essenza stessa della musica.
if you can read music I urge you to listen to this recording whilst reading the score. It's absolutely ashtonishing how they manage to bring to life every single detail, every single nuance written by the composer. Differences between fp, accents, sfz, agogic accents, articulation, tempo changes.....everything is just perfect. We are witnessing the best recording of not only Mahler's 2nd symphony (and almost every other symphony played by LSO and Abbado is just as good), but probably the best recording of every piece ever written. this is Making Music. What does not come this close is, in my opinion, useless.
There are a lot of good interpretations of this masterpiece all over RUclips. We could endlessly argue about which orchestra or conductor does it best, but if we are going to talk about the choir I think this one wins. My God so much power and clarity!
This has to be the most spectacular performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony I have heard... absolutely spellbinding from beginning to end...Abbado was on fire...
Ten years without Claudio Abbado. How much we miss this great conductor.
Imiss him too
Legend

Claudio Abbado and Kajaran will always be the peak of Conductors
what a brilliant conductor.
I dont know why people say classical music is boring when gems like this exist..Bravo Mahler!
It's because their taste is corrupted by songs that talk about things in this life which don't worth, songs that make them do things without thinking. I've listened this masterpiece a lot of times and i never get bored. Its wonderful

Dear Friend, don't lost your time to say about stupid people...

This piece makes a very strong argument for music being humanity's greatest accomplishment
And underpaid.

One of the most powerful expressions of the human spirit. I hope to hear it in person one day.

I've found this to be the pinnacle of my personal music taste since as far back as 2005. It just doesn't get old. Ever.
I am crying right now. Very moving
The best Romantic-era symphonies are like this. They take you on a complete journey.

@@mercy2409 no diga eso, la vida tiene muchísimas cosas y personas hermosas
@@uke98 No lo niego, pero he de admitir que una de mis enormes razones para vivir es la música clásica
The greatest symphony conducted by its best interpreter.
I am missing you abado.
You were the man who loved the music and the human.
You always made me moved by your humble attitude as well as by the playing the symphonies.
I totally love this CONDUCTOR! ..... and I miss him. But we are not on this earth forever. Thank God and those who have preserved his work.
A masterpiece. Performed by an extraordinary orchestra under the baton of the incomparable Claudio Abbado. Mahler is life itself.
5th movement is unreal. Choral passages are stunning
I can't help but feel as if Claudio Abbado is the embodiment of Gustav Mahler in his absolute artistry and vitality. Conductor Abbado pays his authentic tribute to the composer and conductor Mahler. Tremendous work is this Mahler's II. symphony.
This is one of the best performances of the Mahler 2nd.
Certainly
Not just a one of the best, It is Best!
Of course, there is a lack of instruction for all notes and a subtle tempo twist, but it is not an essential element in Mahler music.
My personal favorite, together with Mehta
What about Bernstein's performance
Ich liebe Gustav Mahler. Eine der schönsten Sinfonien überhaupt. Maestro Abbado hat hier eine wunderschöne Aufführung gezaubert.
Was für ein Klangkörper! Das ist ja unglaublich!
❤❤❤
My God. I am on the floor, weeping at the raw emotion I just experienced. This raw beauty. This raw passion. I never thought I could be this moved by a recording... especially one found on RUclips. All three of us Americans who still love deep art - the type that elevates the human soul- appreciate this. My sensations are beyond words. I wish I could fully articulate what I'm feeling right now.
Four!
Really great comments and I share your feelings totally.
What you are feeling its called greatness in its more orgasmic expression!
I feel ya, bro
Do you really think you're one four Americans who love deep art?
It was the day of my birth when this concert was performed! So fascinating!!!
I've listened to this symphony more than 100 times, and everytime I find something new in it. Superb Genius mr Mahler.
Man it has to be something glorious to listen to this live
How is it possible for a mere human being to create such beauty?
I have often wondered
It took me a long time to really appreciate Mahler's symphonies. I foumd them hard to get into. But now I love them, especially symphony no 2
I've cried loudly and silently several times with this performance and with Maestro abbado's death. What a music and what a man. I wish I would have met him.
OMG!!! Brothers Capücon ( violin and cello) among many other best musicians around Europe in this outstanding orchestra and with one of the best conductors!! Mahler music is most worthy for this!!
To listen Mahler music is difficult like to solve mathematics exam and need many times, mental energy but l like all Mahler musics. I am malherian. From daegu city in Korea
Claudio Abbado makes Mahler fill our souls with extraordinary music. It is really a 'resurrection' for me.
The brain of a man, through his music, communicates with my brain causing profound emotion, even, sometimes, tears and goosebumps. And the man died more than a hundred years ago.
He was only 51 when he died.
Eccellente esecuzione del grande Claudio Abbado, che dirige senza la partitura davanti, il quale ha memorizzato ogni frazione della lunga e complessa sinfonia N. 2 di Mahler. Una composizione di tardo romanticismo ma con aperture importanti alle innovative produzioni musicali di primo Novecento. Composta in un periodo importante della vita di Mahler, questa sinfonia esprime bene il conflitto interiore del compositore, tra certezza del nulla esistenziale e la speranza, seppur di palliativa consolazione, di una grandiosa resurrezione finale.
The part beginning roughly in 57:00 is the one which strikes me most, even more that the finale itself. The feel it brings of awakening, enlightenment, alleviation and conclusion is very impressive, as if it was stronger to recollect that sensation in this symphony than really experiencing it in life.
My favourite part too
It is the gate to heaven opening.
Maravilhoso! … fiquei pensando como que o público da plateia baixa não se levantou… uma pena ..
Superb camera work, following the instruments on cue, section by section. Adding to the pleasure of the music and showcasing the talent of the musicians, chorus and conductor. A great experience for us all to enjoy. Thanks to all concerned.
Fra poche ore è nuovamente l anniversario del tuo compleanno Maestro G. MAHLER.... Auguri di cuore "dovunque tu sia" assieme alla tue meravigliose partiture, veramente geniali e un affettuoso ricordo al maestro Abbado tuo grande interprete e grande direttore!!!!!!
What a stunning performance. Just wow. Sobbing like a baby at the climax Aufersteh'n. Can't believe I haven't come across this before. And it seemed like each member of the orchestra was a force of nature barely held in check, but with such gentle control, by the maestro. There was something in the air in Lucerne that day.
The absolute uniformity and contrast of male and female dress codes in the chorus, their symmetrical disposition according to height, and the absence of scores from which to read their parts - all is learned, and perfectly delivered from memory (although the instrumentalists have scores but the conductor does not) - together create an overwhelming impression on the mind and the spirit.
Abbado fu l'unico conduttore che riuscì a farmi apprezzare Mahler nella sua interezza.
I melomani sanno di cosa parlo.
To watch Abbado conduct is an an unforgettable experience. His passion and devotion to the music is what makes an interpreter of his caliber a master conductor. Just like Bernstein before him, Abbado had no peer.
Klemperer.

Me, too! This is truly a maestro in every sense of the word. From his documentary, he likes to be called Claudio by the orchestra.
Di una bellezza infinita! Non so che altro dire se non...grazie! Grazie a Gustav Malher e al grande Claudio Abbado.
1:18:43 The whole symphony is divine, but this ending is probably the most beautiful and epic thing ever written
Grande maestro Claudio Abbado, seu legado nunca será esquecido. Quem for brasileiro curte ai, quem ñ for curta também!kk
Oh my God. Who's cutting onions around here??? Hit me right in the core; right in the soul.
Happy Birthday and RIP Claudio Abbado 🌹🌹🌹
Gracias a quien nos lo regalase o hizo posible que hoy, con millones de personas recluidos en sus casas, pudiéramos vivir esta maravilla.
Mahler es sin duda mi compositor favorito y en el poco tiempo que llevo escuchando música académica (de los 15 a las 18) ha logrado mostrarme un perspectiva de la música y del arte en general completamente renovada. La sinfonía Resurrección fue su segunda obra que escuche justo un par de minutos después de enfrentarme al final de su primera sinfonía y la que mayor éxtasis me ha producido, convirtiéndose así en mi obra preferida (la he escuchado sábados y domingos enteros de tal modo que la puedo cantar toda de memoria). Como toda las obras que escucho por primera vez las reproduzco en youtube, fue esta versión la de Claudio Abaddo con la orquesta del festival de Lucerna la primer que escuche y de ahí no pare de amasar versiones (Abbado - Chicago, Solti - Chicago, Rattle - Berlin, Bernstein - Londres, Boulez - Viena, Chailly - Gewandhaus, Mehta - Viena, Haitink - Dresden, Tilson Thomas - San francisco, Kubelick - Baviera, Jurowski - Londres, Walter - New york, Gergiev - Londres y Munich, Tennstedt - Londres, Klemperer - Orquesta Philharmonia, Jarvi - Frankfurt, y quizas algunas que por falta de meomoria olvide). Sin embargo mi grabación favorita es la de Lenoard Bernstein dirigiendo en 1963 a la filarmónica de New York , una experiencia según mi criterio etérea, mas aun si cuentas con el remaster japones en SACD y el equipo adecuado. En fin, Mahler ha impacto mi mundo de tal modo que no solo me abrió una ventana a nuevos compositores como Debussy, Bruckner, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Berg, Schoenberg, Ravel, Scriabin, Messiaen y Bartok, que para un enardecido seguidor de Brahms resultaron todos deslumbrantes (no se confundan, aun sigo amando su cuarta sinfonía, sus dos concierto para piano, su concierto para violín o su quinteto para clarinete), sino que también me impulso a tomar la decisión de estudiar concienzudamente música . En efecto, si tuviera la oportunidad de conocer, de poder conversar con una persona de antaño seria sin duda el gran Gustav Mahler.
Por tener el mismo nombre...?
Su cuarta sinfonía es fenomenal uffff 👌
Sono d'accordo se potessi di tutti i compositori vorrei incontrare MAHLER...
I’ve listened to this piece in it’s entirety probably about 40 times in my life and it can still bring me to tears. Oh why couldn’t Mahler live to be 1000.
Esta grabación de la 2 sinfonia de Mahler está considerada como de las mejores de la historia, espectacular version ,hasta el mismísimo Beethoven lloraría de emoción.
Emozionante come poche altre cose...Grazie caro Maestro per questa splendida interpretazione del capolavoro di Mahler...Ci manchi tantissimo!
I cry every time! it doesn’t get much better than this. RIP Maestro Claudio x
I miss Abbado very much! He was a great conductor!!RIP maestro and thank you very much for the joy you brought to our lives!!
I am a regular visitor of this particular performance, in good and bad times. And the great Abbado does not disappoint. I've lost count of the different rendtions I have listened to (from the essential Mehta and Bernstein to Solti and Rattle) but the one that hits me harder is this one; perhaps because of the choir and the visuals, the facial expressions of the conductor, I still can't get my head over why this one hits me like a thunder (and I end up weeping!)
Let's take a second to appreciate how even the camera work is amazing in this recording
I have enjoyed this symphony countless times. It never loses its power to move me. There is something very special here, something transcendent and spiritual.
Music is food for the soul
We all need it for peace in this world
The guy with a grey coat at 1:23:09 couldn't hold his tears. Even listening at home, I can't hold them myself. At the end of the performance so many of the audience seem to be reacting as if it's a normal song. Their faces seem so bored, but that man really expresses what Mahler wanted for us when listening to his works: It's supposed to move you and your life and to make you leave the concert hall with a different mind and a different heart. I'm so sorry for those who had the unique chance to contemplate it and couldn't engage in such experience.
Y Yo Tampoco puedo contener mis Lágrimas, Amigo. Que Sinfonía más Maravillosa!!!!!!
Cherish that some of us (maybe more than we know!) are so moved, by music mostly, but extreme beauty in other fields also.
Gaston, ¡Somos los humanos más felices que podemos sentir esto!
The first time I heard this piece was at a concert. The tears didn't stop even after leaving the hall
Vintage Abbado knowing all, expressing all to do Mahler's genius justice. RIP, caro maestro. (Lovely shot of Bruno Ganz in the audience, RIP to you, too, maestro).
The best performance ever anywhere without any doubt.... A great great event...
This is in my opinion by far the best performance available that I know of. I can't find a single other that makes the orchestra/chorus sound so perfectly in harmony. He's a genius!
You are musician?
@@ForYou-ub6uc I try, I'm a composer.
You can listen to this music over and over again, always in a state of amazement and wonder.
What a wonderful orchestra the Lucerne Festival Orchestra is! I admire their dynamic playing, still with transparency, where all the parts fit together perfectly to shape a total unity.
A super impressive piece. I find Mahler's music more satisfying than any other composer. It surprises me to read that Mahler's main goal was not to be a composer, yet he seems to have surpassed many other great composers. I had the pleasure to hear Mahler 4 and 5 played live but I never heard this one live.
The beginning gives me cold shivers. The most keyed up, ominous beginning ever!
Maestro Abbado conducting Mahler is absolutely sublime. I have listened to the fourth three times consecutively.. never heard such an excellent version!! In future will only look for el Maestro when listening to the great Mahler!!!!!
I can't forget the emotion of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 performed by the Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester that I heard in Berlin in the winter of 2018. I listen to this music on the last day of every year. I am moved every time I listen to it.
An absolutely remarkable performance. Incredible orchestra, such virtuosity and splendour in the sound, and Abbado was simply one of the greatest conductors of our era. I sorely regret not seeing him live when he was still with us.
I am allways mesmerized by the ballet of a maestro hands and the contrast of the intense facial expressions. And this Ressurection overcomes me with emotions, wishing that my loved ones over the beyond be at peace and joy.
This is my favourite thing on the internet ever.
Me too
Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum fast alle Menschen sagen, dass klassische Musik langweilig ist.
Hier gibt wunderschönste, dramatischste und bunte Musik als andere. Viele Grüße aus Japan
What is life? What is the meaning of existing? Why do we suffer? What will come next? Will there be a life after death? These are the questions that Mahler obsessively poses in the Second Symphony, and to which he presents a confident answer in the last movement: the Resurrection, the belief that we live many lives.
Still no evidence, however...
Commovente l'espressione di estasi e dolore sul volto del nostro grandissimo Maestro Abbado.
Un genio guidato da studio ed anima. Grazie
Wonderful !!!!! I think it is the best version in the world until now.
wonderrrFU££!!!
Abbado is one of the greatst Mahler interpretator of all times. His spiritual approach is unique
Запредельный драматизм музыки и блестящее исполнительское мастерство оркестра и Maestro Abbado -просто потрясающе! Это по настоящему достает до глубины души! Браво Gustav Mahler, браво Abbado, браво оркестр. Браво RUclips
Sempre emozionante e commovente Abbado in uno dei più grandi capolavori del genio umano. Il finale è qualcosa di indescrivibile che trascende l'essenza stessa della musica.
if you can read music I urge you to listen to this recording whilst reading the score. It's absolutely ashtonishing how they manage to bring to life every single detail, every single nuance written by the composer. Differences between fp, accents, sfz, agogic accents, articulation, tempo changes.....everything is just perfect. We are witnessing the best recording of not only Mahler's 2nd symphony (and almost every other symphony played by LSO and Abbado is just as good), but probably the best recording of every piece ever written.
this is Making Music. What does not come this close is, in my opinion, useless.
FCarraro1 It sounds as thougn you enjoyed the performance
So did I😀
So there are no adequate words - just the music, the world, the miracle. ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite symphony , from my favorite composer !
There are a lot of good interpretations of this masterpiece all over RUclips. We could endlessly argue about which orchestra or conductor does it best, but if we are going to talk about the choir I think this one wins. My God so much power and clarity!
Thanks I was in the choir
@@Tenortxo WOW
This was a wonderful, wonderful experience. One of the most touching pieces of music I've heard in all my life.
Oh my GOD..... That's great and fantastic......Many thanks to you GROSSO MAESTRO CLAUDIO ABBADO (RIP)
Abbado and this orchestra performances of Mahler is both beautiful and sublime. Like no other.
Maestro Claudio Abbado did an excellent job with this Epic symphony by "Mahler".
This has to be the most spectacular performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony I have heard... absolutely spellbinding from beginning to end...Abbado was on fire...
Definitive. The greatest recording of what is for me, the finest symphony in the entire orchestral repertoire.
