I listened to this one evening watching the sun saying its goodbyes for the day above a line of trees in the distance. It was positively magical. It was almost as if the sun were orchestrating its light and the final bursts to compliment the music. It actually even timed perfectly to part behind the trees at the ending moment. Was driven to tears by the perfection of it all. One of natures masterpeices befitting of one of mans masterpieces..
Mahler used to travel to the mountains every summer, where he had a house with a small hut in the garden where he worked. He didn't like to be disturbed when he was working, and the rule was that if the door was open, you could go and talk to him, but under no circumstances should you interrupt him if the door was closed! He wrote nine symphonies and they are all long pieces of music in several movements. Mahler thought that a symphony should be like the world, that it should contain all kinds of musical emotions. His music, which is sometimes joyful, sad, anxiety-provoking, dramatic, sublime, funny, mean: it’s all there! This melody contains all types of emotion. It begins with a funeral march including dramatic music with waltzes and a massive, triumphant ending. The Adagietto is the shortest movement, lasting about 10 minutes, and it does not use the full orchestra: it is just scored for strings and harp without the presence of woodwinds, brass or percussion. The piece is written to represent his love for his future wife, Alma, and the work is full of fiery beauty. It is lyrical and slow with emotional and passionate outbursts. This is the apogee of Mahlerian writing if not that of the symphony. Imagine a work of such magnitude that it actually reflects the entire world. *Lucien*
Self-evidently, this is among Mahler’s inspired moments as a composer. The music, in its evocation of nostalgia and longing, seems metaphorically to breathe. While it could be argued that this performance was not technically the most perfect, its sense of development and its pace (not arbitrarily too slow - it is an adagietto, not a largo, and must seem to continue breathing) is exceptional. Very moving! Wish all of the performance was available. I did not know the conductor but am mightily impressed.
I regard myself as a hardened male when it comes to emotions yet when I hear this I can feel them getting the better of me. It is just impossible to hear this and not feel emotional. Wow fight it off, now breathe........................ What an amazing performance, the feelings behind their performance is truly spectacular, great job.
Sterling performance! Gives this string music the ghostly, ethereal treatment it begs for. This to me is the essence of Mahler (along with the 4th movement of the 9th symphony): beautiful tonal chorales giving way to tension-ridden tonal clashes, yielding to beautiful tonal chorales again: The tension is unbearable, the music infinitely sad. Amazing
Of all of Mahler's prolific output of great symphonies chorals and songs, this has become his most popular, and often performed stand alone without the rest of the piece, and for good reason. People who listen and are not moved are lost.
Mahler at his best. It brings forth exquisite imagery that reminds us of life's beauty in the midst of all its other trials. It invites us to think, to feel that there is still good in remembering love.
This music transcends language to describe its unutterable beauty. Painfully romantic, the gentle orchestration tears at your heart and causes your soul to soar across a velvet ocean of timeless tranquility. One is almost afraid to breathe lest even the most gentlest of movements mar the experience.
And the denouement being that Von Aschenbach, the character so sensitively portrayed by the magnificent Dirk Bogarde, dies to this beautifully haunting piece....
I love this music, how it comforts me in my times of need in the dark nights of the soul even the entire universe, but yet clearly, the soul is there and the animist and alternative religion traditions also recognize this fact. As far as I can tell as a member of the Universal Life Church, I’m happy to study any religion that doesn’t mean I necessarily profess or hold the same values as those that I am studying. And that is what the universe tells me. From across the universe to across the continental divide.
Fits Shakespeare sonnet like a glove. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate, the winds do shake the darling buds of May......
In Extrapolation serie, episode 3, a scientifist widow character play this symphony to the last whale of earth. The female whale first don't understand what is that "song" and what that "means". The women tell to her that is a music and everybody who listen that can put all feeling or meaning they want. After understanding that, the whale ask to her who is the human composer and if she meet him...very sad and beautiful scene.
Great composers were attuned to God's universe, and sliced pieces off His symphony of the Universe. When you hear, you will know. Here, we have evidence. Without God, nothing but discordance.
¿SE IMAGINAN A GUSTAV MAHLER Y A SU ESPOSA ALMA, CUANDO LA DESPIERTA, EN EL DÍA DE SU CUMPLEAÑOS, CON UN CONJUNTO DE CUERDAS Y ARPA EJECUTANDO ÉSTE ADAGGIETO TAN SUBLIME Y PROFUNDO; COMO REGALO???...
Religion is humanities curse , there’s no supernatural god , we came from the very fabric of the universe but when I hear Mahler I can believe in a human heaven
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written...
22fret one of hundreds most beautiful pieces...
Yeah, that's true..
My hubby plays it on the banjo, but it's not the same.........
@@cieszewskimariusz perhaps not to everyone
Any recommendations for pieces similar to this?

Personification of synchronicity
Listen to this in my quiet moments shared with the love of my life who now is in heaven!!!
This piece of music literally brings tears to my eyes. It's just so beautifully orchestrated and written
this by far one of the most forgiving and tender performances of this piece, I have ever heared.....moving.
A from a higher stral level
when the harp tip toes in at the beginning, so tender and beautiful.
What a beautiful description. ❤

Sad that their marriage didn't stand for long.
Sitting in my back garden on a summers evening listening to this, smoking something nice. Heaven.
I was married to the love of my life to this music - this is a very fine and sensitive performance.

Not god but the devil in your perception
@@stevecritcheson4067 ?
I was there. With my mum :) Magical
I wish I could experience it soon!
Oh ya.....EASYTIGER10......yes! That would have been an experience. From Heaven this piece!
This piece always makes the hairs on my neck and arms stand up. A very moving piece.
I regard myself as a hardened male when it comes to emotions yet when I hear this
I can feel them getting the better of me.
It is just impossible to hear this and not feel emotional.
Wow fight it off, now breathe........................
What an amazing performance, the feelings behind their performance is truly
spectacular, great job.
Why fight it? I've cried many times listening to Mahler. Just let it go.
It’s called emotional love

I've been listening to this for many years. I sleep with it. I wake with it.

he couldn't do better
One of classical music's most gorgeous orchestral pieces, IMO. And beautifully conducted by Maestro Mena!
Can you give a list if other classics like this? Solemn majestic piece?
Mahler at his best. It brings forth exquisite imagery that reminds us of life's beauty in the midst of all its other trials. It invites us to think, to feel that there is still good in remembering love.
❤
Leonard Bernstein conducted this at Robert Kennedy's funeral Mass June 8, 1968 at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.
Few words can describe listening to this piece in a concert.
Bravo por el Maestro Mena y la BBC Phil. Tempo, fraseo y dinámicas!
This is the most hauntingly beautiful piece of music i have ever heard
good for you
Profound, sublime. It brings out what is already within us.
Can you give a list if other classics like this? Solemn majestic piece?
....very insightful. Yes, in us all there is goodness, innate, evolved goodness.

My dog always starts weeping when hearing this and doesn't eat for 3 days.
No one has mentioned Visconti's film Death in Venice , which uses this piece to great effect
And the denouement being that Von Aschenbach, the character so sensitively portrayed by the magnificent Dirk Bogarde, dies to this beautifully haunting piece....
Thank you for sharing, will make sure to watch this
@@timwright1417yes - he's almost straining to grasp that ineffable beauty which the music evokes
...with Dirk Bogard
Lástima el ruido de toses. Maravilloso Mena. Qué sutileza, qué color, qué sensibilidad. Increíble

I wish I could live inside this symphony😍

Enlighten your day.
Mahler: Symphony No. 5 (Adagietto) - BBC Proms 2014
This piece plays in Hannibal, episode Naka-Choko, when Will provides the meat for the dinner. I'm delighted! Beautiful.

Is so beautiful!!!!
A superb piece of work. So moving .
I'm crying over this.
Just carried away . Very emotive.

Why does C# minor slam so good
What a pity, those who've put a thumbs down ☹
Fits Shakespeare sonnet like a glove. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate, the winds do shake the darling buds of May......

RFK's favourite bit of music. Played at his funeral mass.
Great job Mahler
GRANDA MAESTRO !!!

Regalo que se convertiría después no solo para su esposa, sino también para toda la humanidad.
Bravo Maestro. Mena Muy bonito, Saludos para todos, Jose L . Corcuera..
isn't this a faster version?? usually it takes around 11,15min. And this one seems to go more dynamic than the sloooow version we are use to listen
Solemne y a la vez , íntimo.
Got to be a tangled love story.
Religion is humanities curse , there’s no supernatural god , we came from the very fabric of the universe but when I hear Mahler I can believe in a human heaven
Ah the power of subtlety

Bukowski should have listened to this song at midnight, leaning against the window, looking the traffic below, smoking and drinking beer after beer...
Have you ever done that? It sounds like a great memory to make
damn...
Tippie Yanez Exactly !
Beautiful piece of music. Shame about the sounds coming from the audience, coughing, etc.
This music is a summary of errors in life that we love to make.we love poisoning ourselves peacefully with music❤
