    Resurrection in Lucerne
    Lucerne Festival. 21 August 2003, 7.30 pm. The atmosphere in the large concert hall in the spectacular, steel and glass Culture and Convention Centre built on the shore of Lake Lucerne by the French star architect Jean Nouvel is electric. The event was sold out months ago. Here and there a throat is softly cleared, people settle in their seats, their faces alert and expectant. At last, doors open and the members of the newly founded Lucerne Festival Orchestra come on to the platform. There are many very well-known faces: the clarinettist Sabine Meyer and Emmanuel Pahud, the fleet-fingered first flute from the Berliner Philharmoniker, Natalie Gutman among the cellists, members of the Hagen and Alban Berg Quartets among the rank and file of strings, and other players include Albrecht Mayer (oboe), Kolya Blacher (violin) and Wolfram Christ (viola).
    Lucerne en fête
    What kind of orchestra is this, formed of the most famous instrumentalists, the most celebrated chamber-music players, the most experienced soloists from the world's best orchestras? With Claudio Abbado to conduct it, chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker up until the previous year, for whom the Lucerne Festival Orchestra is the realization of a wholly personal dream? One answer, at least, is obvious: lt is an orchestra of superlatives. "After this first appearance", the press agreed, "there can be no argument: orchestral cultivation of this calibre is scarcely to be heard anywhere else."
    The Lucerne Festival has a long tradition of generating its own orchestras. The best remembered is probably the Swiss Festival Orchestra, which assembled "the best orchestral musicians of Switzerland" (to quote the Original memorandum of association) to give the concerts that formed the festival's backbone every year from 1943 to 1993. But the idea of an elite orchestra goes back further, to the summer of 1938. This was the year in which Arturo Toscanini dissociated himself from the Salzburg Festival for political reasons; a handpicked orchestra was formed for him to conduct in Lucerne (the members of the legendary Busch Quartet, banned frorn playing in Germany, sat at the first desks of the string section) and his "concert de gala" marked the moment when Lucerne was new-born as a festival city.

    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.

    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.

    • @EzroNightmare

      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

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

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.
