You have to wonder. It's more than notes on a scale. And, there are only a few composers that truly embrace our heart and soul. I have a theory...these men and women are Angels on loan; God's way of letting us know, we are His beloved children and each note is a tap on our shoulder, with God saying, Be Loving And Good To One Another.
O Mensch! Gib Acht! Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht? "Ich schlief, ich schlief, aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht: Die Welt ist tief, und tiefer als der Tag gedacht. Tief ist ihr Weh, Lust tiefer noch als Herzeleid. Weh spricht: Vergeh! Doch all' Lust will Ewigkeit, will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!"
Ô homme prends garde ! Que dit minuit profond ? « J’ai dormi, j’ai dormi -, D’un rêve profond je me suis éveillé : - Le monde est profond, Et plus profond que ne pensait le jour. Profonde est sa douleur -, La joie - plus profonde que l’affliction. La douleur dit : Passe et finis ! Mais toute joie veut l’éternité - - veut la profonde éternité ! »
What is going on with the pseudo-jazz business in the woodwinds? Those are supposed to be bird calls (if we choose not to ignore Mahler's rescinding the programmatic aspects of his work), not some kind of "le jazz hot" ugliness. Yikes.
Bad performance by orchestra, bad conductor, BUT what a magnificent performance by Waltraud Meier! Giant 3rd Symphony halts for focussing on needed reflecting thoughts. At this Lied (yes it's one of Mahler's greatest Lieder!) time stands still and music has to flow without any development, only to express together with singer these deep thoughts. Waltraut Meier's great performance knows about these requirements, too bad orchestra/conductor don't have same level.

Magnificent, full stop. !!! As always Ms. Meier left nothing to be desired, and the oboe left me speechless, surely, not the only one bereft of words.

J’ai pleuré encore une fois
La puissance du « tief « est incroyable
A stunning performance, in every way. And Waltraud Meier is certainly one of the greatest classical singers who has ever lived!
Merveille....Le temps s'arrête !
this is my favorite movement

O Mensch! Gib Acht!
Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?
"Ich schlief, ich schlief,
aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht:
Die Welt ist tief,
und tiefer als der Tag gedacht.
Tief ist ihr Weh,
Lust tiefer noch als Herzeleid.
Weh spricht: Vergeh!
Doch all' Lust will Ewigkeit,
will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!"
And suddendly I love the german language.
Thank you for sharing the lyrics 🙏
I can never find the original "Death in Venice" version, by Lucrezia West, but this is as close as you can get. Thanks for uploading!!
Excellent!!
Yes, as soon as possible.
mahlr: che musica ......eccellente video!!!!
@mmarks4 yes, by her facial expressions she pointed up every important word at this philosophical poem telling us Nietzsche's thoughts about mankind
Meier at her best!
3:33. The sacred trinity. Manifest in all things made. And unmade. "now I have become death, destroyer of worlds". Bhagavad-Gita
Great!
Her face is so expressve. Watch her on "tief"!
@@malhaus4406 Ah, I wish I understood!. What has it come to signify there now?
Nietzsche's listening from the back row. He's having kittens. 😺 As I am
闭眼细聆，赞叹不已
Agreed !
does anyone think Gorecki's Third contains an homage to this...?
To mention Gorecki in the same breath as Mahler is . . . Well, I guess this tells you that I do not think much of Gorecki...
Yes.

hinaufziehen - wie ein Naturlaut... observed (uncommon in older performances)
I would like to add subtitles in French, but I don't know how to proceed. Can anyone help me ?
Ô homme prends garde !
Que dit minuit profond ?
« J’ai dormi, j’ai dormi -,
D’un rêve profond je me suis éveillé : -
Le monde est profond,
Et plus profond que ne pensait le jour.
Profonde est sa douleur -,
La joie - plus profonde que l’affliction.
La douleur dit : Passe et finis !
Mais toute joie veut l’éternité -
- veut la profonde éternité ! »
Pregnant with history...
Different microtonation of the English horn.
É uma microtonação proposital, conforme escutei.
Diivinal
She is amazing! Not so sure about the orchestra. Too slow for my taste.
Others ave said it here, but ... What's up with the oboe?
Waltraud Meier - dal vivo una vocalità dilettantesca poco professionale .
bellissima musica .

well it is written in the score.

Mahler, One of the most boring composers

Youre a tasteless imbecile
You're crap, ignoramos!
