This was the finale of 2 concerts 5/5/91 for Carnegie's 100 anniversary. Much of the concerts are also on RUclips. Both concerts were the NYP with conducting shared by Mehta & Levine. It was supposed to be Mehta & Bernstein but as Bernstein died the fall of 90 they got Levine. Zubin made a speech dedicating this performance to Lenny. It was the end of a very long day & never to be forgotten.
Schließlich war dies der Tiefpunkt des New York Philharmonic. Auch das Philadelphia Orchestra von Muti war keine Eintagsfliege. Das Philadelphia Orchestra wurde nach dem Wechsel des deutschen Maestros wunderbar wiederbelebt, insbesondere die Tonlage wurde sehr gut. Aber die New Yorker Philharmoniker haben nie wieder die Qualität eines Orchesters erreicht. Ursprünglich ein großes Orchester, ist es zu einer Enttäuschung geworden, ohne nennenswerte Bläser oder Streicher.
If anything he is underrated and doesnt get enough credit. Every single cliche " flashy, superficial" etc. has been unfairly used. Has an astonishingly wide repertoire and has done a lot for contemporary music.

Great job Al! Thanks for the clarification of the date of the concert. I hope all is well!
One of the most beautiful pieces of orchestration !! The whole symphony 3 has been one of my favorites for 40 years.
Agreed. In my opinion, this symphony is Mahler's best composition. R.I.P.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this glorious finale!
That trombone hit at 22:11 though.....🥲 Other worldly
The late great Roland Kohloff playing the timpani
Thank you. No words.
The Phil's are fantastic in this performance (Smith and Meyers)!
wow
🙏
Mehta has a wonderful last movement of this with LA Phil from 1980s
If am not mistaken its from earlier not the 80s. He joined the NYPO in 1978. Still, its a lovely performance though `only' analogue.

Was this in Carnegie Hall?
Yes it was.
And all the symphony?
No, I only was gifted the finale, maybe it was broadcast this way
@@jtubaI saw it when it aired and never thought I’d hear it again. They only did the finale. Thanks for sharing!
I find this guy quite superfluous and overrated.

Having said that, i assume you meant Mehta and not Mahler :) :) though, why not?
Maybe sometimes superfluous but not overrated in anyway.
