For four or five decades Mahler's Symphony No. 1 has been one of my top ten symphonies of all time. With this stupendous, monumental performance by Yannick Nézet-Séguin & Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra it moves up to the top spot in my list. This performance is the best classical music performance that I have ever seen on RUclips or anywhere else. Capture the video if you possibly can or bookmark it on your browser as I have done. You will not regret being able to see it over and over again. I cannot understand how anyone can give this performance a thumbs down yet some have. Jose Sanchez
Thank you. It's such a treat to see Yannick's face while conducting. As a Philadelphian, who has enjoyed Yannick conducting our beloved orchestra, I always wished to see what the musicians see while he conducts. I admire him even more now! What a great talent. So many great musicians. How fortunate to be able to collaborate to make beautiful music.
Yannick is the best and his Mahler 1 is the best ever. I heard him with Rotterdam in Cologne. It was during that performance that I became a SUPERFAN of Yannick s and Mahler. If you listen carefully to multiple recordings of Mahler 1, none compare to those that he has conducted. There are so many nuances that he brings out of the musicians. I think even Mahler would have been amazed that a conductor could elevate his masterpieces to an even higher level. BRAVO YANNICK!
@@MisterPathetique Can you give an example of a better mahler1 than Yannicks? I’d love to be proved wrong, because listening to that would be truly amazing.
@@porterbrass First of all, I don't think there's a single recording that's "the best". I don't believe in such things, especially in the case of Mahler 1, which is probably the Mahler symphony that has received the most excellent recordings. There's truly a myriad of great Mahler 1s, and Nézet-Séguin is just ONE of them. Among my personal favorites, I can mention Ozawa, Honeck, Gielen, Kubelik, Levine, Boulez, Solti, Jansons, Bychkov... And probably many others that I can't remember at the moment.
@@porterbrass Past a certain level of excellence, it's mostly a question of taste, indeed. Nevertheless, it's also a good idea to listen to different things sometimes. It helps opening our minds.
I enjoy listening to a whole bunch of different performances of works like this. Different things stand out in different performances. For example, I was able to hear the woodwind parts quite well in this performance. I really enjoyed this.
No disrespect to Lorin Maazel but it was Eugen Jochum who did a wonderful job as the orchestra’s first chief conductor and recently Maris Jansons who raised their profile to one of the top orchestras of the World.
The great job was done by the ARD who pays excelent musicians so well, not Jochum, not Maazel, not Jansons. Try to listen to those conductors with a „normal“ orchestra...you will hear how „great“ they are...
Необычайная Красота!!!❤❤❤❤ изучаю симфонию четвёртый день в разных исполнениях.. 💫💫💫нравятся разные дирижеры и оркестры.. 👏но в эту секунду Янник и Темирканов!!.. ✨🪐✨🪐✨
00:40 I. Langsam. Schleppend. Wie ein Naturlaut - Im Anfang sehr gemächlich 16:30 II. Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell 24:35 III. Feierlich und gemessen, ohne zu schleppen 35:40 IV. Stürmisch bewegt
How superb! Mahler's famous for his huge gestures but IMO it's the wee ones that are the beating heart of his music, Nézet-Séguin draws them all out, what a treat.
Excellent performance. Nezet-Seguin shows great promise as a Mahler maestro. He's improving with age and I hope to see him develop a more nuanced flow of tempi and dynamics that would rank him with the great Mahler conductors.
53:25 The person between the trumpet and horn sections - are they part of the banda personnel or an assistant for the low brass part of the horn section?
Dear @spyshousakusen, well noticed!😊 Sometimes in the last movement of Mahler 1, the horns are reinforced by a 4th trombone and/or a 5th trumpet - this was personally suggested by Mahler, so that´s what Nézet-Séguin did back then.
The sentimental passages are wonderfully played, but I miss the eruptions, where I always end up with the master Bernstein, whose ferocity probably no one can conquer.
Beautiful performance!! As a horn player, to help the horn section to project more at the end, instead of a trumpet and trombone (playing obbligato parts written by Mahler) let's try having three of the horn players switch to the Wagner tuba (horn on steroids). Tow on the upper octave and one on the lower. This might do the trick and keep it pure 'horn'. Regardless, this is an incredible performance!! Kudos to all!!!!
Soy un seguidor de Nézet-Séguin desde la legendaria "Romeo y Julieta" de Gounod que dirigió en 2008 en Salzburgo, en que se convirtió en el protagonista absoluto. El "Nutcracker" con la Filarmónica Rotterdam (está en RUclips) es increíble. Como si fuera poco, además de esta muy buena versión, la grabación es excelente. Con él y otros directores jóvenes actuales, el futuro de la música está asegurado,
Mat tre! You can see he is a bon Bréton, the sense of danse and rhythm, the tendresse and mystery of the gwerz, beaautiful, alive. Trugarez braz Maestro!
Ich verstehe nicht, was Sie tun wollen. Ich habe dieses Lied schon oft gehört und gespielt. Aber ich kann nur sagen, das ist Boo. Enttäuschende Mahlers Erste.
interesting the "not together sf" of the strings a new musicologist discovers to explain Mahler's doubts...curious never heard a more bourgeois interpretation! no Vienna no fin du siècle but a solid employment at the post office🙍♂
Nonsense. Mahler puts lots of directions in the score. You can see Yannick knows the work. You can say a singer is too young for repertoire sometimes but there is no particular reason that Yannick would be too young in his 30s tp play a work composed by a man in his thirties
@@armandogabba2769 Actually, Mahler was in his latter 20's when this great work was composed. He eventually conducted the premiere in Budapest in 1889, when he was 29.
You can see the JOY on his face while conducting! BRAVO

I sat facing Yannick at a concert in Cologne. It was best seat in the house to enjoy his conducting.
Superb performance worthy of a standing ovation !!!!!

This is an excellent Mahler 1, but it's not "the best ever", stop talking nonsense.

@@MisterPathetique thanks I’ll check them out. I’m just drawn back to Yannicks recordings. I think it’s personal preference.

Yannick brings out the best from the orchestra. It's a privilege to watch this performance on you tube. The orchestra is great too.
What happened to the audience why aren,t they standing ?????
Yes, everybody seems to have a lot of fun. 🙂
Mahlers Musik ist von einzigartiger Schönheit und geistiger Durchdringung 😍🙏😍
Uniquely special performance - full of fire, delicacy and unparalleled nuance. ♥

Grand orchestre! Grand chef! Bravo et merci!
Incrível esse maestro!!!
What a great performance! The BRSO is one of the best orchestras. Lorin Maazel did a wonderful job.
No disrespect to Lorin Maazel but it was Eugen Jochum who did a wonderful job as the orchestra’s first chief conductor and recently Maris Jansons who raised their profile to one of the top orchestras of the World.
Have you heard any rehearsals?
Haha! A monkey orchestra formed by geniuses, ha?!

@@paullewis2413 Not to mention Rafael Kubelik.....
Lorin did very little in comparison, tbh.

Der Dirigent hat sichlich Spaß und nich nur der, sonder die Musiker auch. Danke für die tolle Leistung. Ich liebe Mahler ❤
Mahler hat aber leider weniger.....😒
素晴らしい演奏♪
ありがとうございました。
ソロ！素晴らしかったです。
私は、1年前に市民オーケストラに入団しました。B管で頑張っていましたが、重たい感じが気になっており、先月、中古でC管を購入しました。まだ指が思うように動かず、コツコツ練習しているところです。
Thank you and the BRSO for this amazing recording!! Aloha!!
Brilliant rendition of this beautiful symphony.
Yes done very well deserving of a standing ovation !!!!!
Beautiful!
A stunning performance!
Terrific, many thanks!
Excellent !!!!!!

Такое непосредственное и увлекательное исполнение симфонии Малера слышу впервые. Nezet-Seguin прогрессирует.
Первый гобой - чудесен.
11:18 should the clarinet and flute be shortly after each other or at the same time?
Fantastic!
Wow! Right up there with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony!
7:55 trumpet guys come on stage
HAHA
The most joyous 2nd movement of Mahler's 1 I have ever heard.
🤩
I do like the dark hair! Wonderful performance . Mahlers first is so rich
BRAVO!!Awesome~~
Great tuba solo by Stefan Tischler!!!
Mil veces escuchada. Mil veces de sensible emoción. Gran director !!
The sentimental passages are wonderfully played, but I miss the eruptions, where I always end up with the master Bernstein, whose ferocity probably no one can conquer.
Since Mahler's Symphony No. 1 is such a famous symphony, isn't it necessary to memorize the entire score?

A happy, smiley Mahler.
Me encanta su forma de dirigir. Mahler estaría muy orgulloso de como ha tratado su obra.
Oboe so beautiful

Yannick is indeed a hot-blooded conductor!
very nice
Captivating...
Absolutely☺️
My god... this is one is insane
magnifique
Props to McFly on the oboe
WOW !
Ich verstehe nicht, was Sie tun wollen.
Ich habe dieses Lied schon oft gehört und gespielt. Aber ich kann nur sagen, das ist Boo.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin is the new best conductor in the world.
Not so fast Dudemel is also terrific !!!!!
What??? He is insane
Enjoy them all. Forget unnecessary rankings, unless you're gonna place Norrington last...and then only a few will object.
@@scottmiller6495 dudamel is a mediocre conductor compared to YNS…

Because they are ignorant and don,t understand !!!!!
There are. You mean horns right?

You are a waste of space.
It is not possible conduct Mahler with a score...and in any case ,although and no doubt a good musician,he’s too young for this repertoire
Broomfield Eric yes.he was 34 when finished it .
Nonsense. Mahler puts lots of directions in the score. You can see Yannick knows the work. You can say a singer is too young for repertoire sometimes but there is no particular reason that Yannick would be too young in his 30s tp play a work composed by a man in his thirties
Nonsense. Many great maestros, including Mahler himself, conducted with score.
@@leestamm3187 Check out Otto Klemperer's fabulous response when asked why he was using a score.
