Mine too! I especially love the introduction in 1st movement, which is incredibly hypnotising and dramatic! I can listen to first seconds of symphony forever.
It always happens in the history of music that someone, at some point, gives an opinion about a piece and many others do nothing more than replicate it. In this case I am referring to the alluded "low popularity" of the seventh symphony. I can only love it. Especially the first movement drives me crazy. I love how somber and twisted this man can be. And what about that climax with the most piercing high notes I've ever heard. A kind of giant industrial steam engine collapsing. A preview of this is noticed at minute 18:00, and from 20:50 on I turn the volume to maximum to hear the piccolos, flutes, violins and brass. It's only 7 bars, but what a lot of bars! Then the trumpet leads a military march. What a painful ending, it's like a war that inevitably must continue to spread, sweeping everything away, as if the sixth symphony had not ended.
It wasn't 'one person' . At it's premier the audience were confused by the work. The big problem is how the opening and closing movements gel with the inner three. It feels the Mahler had two different symphonies in mind and stuck them together. Over time it has become more popular though
Despite this being one of his best symphonies, it’s also probably his most underrated. Especially the Scherzo. Which is unfortunate cause this is really some of his best writing! In the Scherzo, I just can’t get enough of the clarinet gliss at 39:20 and the snap pizz at 46:18 It’s just so much fun to listen to this piece!
Between this recording and the Bernstein/New York Phil recording are among the best. That descending clarinet glissando at the beginning of the Scherzo is one of the best I've heard it played too, sounds gnarly and I love it!
The scherzo is one of the most peculiar and strange movements in Mahler's astonishing symphonic career. This captivating melody and this clarinet glissando at the beginning take me to another planet. I love him ❤
Love this symphony to death. It was the first of Mahler I was introduced to. The first movement is divine, and the last movement is insane. I got the chance to listen to this with Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra earlier this year with a study score, and it is still one of my favorite experiences to date.
Je trouve cette interpretation tres reussie, fluide, le solo du debut est fameux vraiment. Mahler etait vraiment original. Ses symphonies donnent l'impression qu'il avait absolument tout organise dans sa tete et qu'il n'avait qu'a transcrire ce qu'il avait concu : la fluidite et l'originalite des idees, des modulations en sont le temoignage, emouvantes de surcroit, si vivantes et pleines d'espoir dans les detresses. Malgre l'incomprehension du public qui peut-etre n'y voyait ni queue ni tete, il a bravement continue a composer.
@@laurentcompagna6166 ah je crois que le premier mouvement est en forme sonate. Mais c'est ce qui est a l'interieur qui est vraiment nouveau et personnel.
So much energy in this performance. Love it! And one of my favourite symphonies. Was delighted to hear it live a year or so ago at the Edinburgh International Festival with the Czech Philharmonic.
25 years after having listened this symphony for the first time, and this moment is still as hair-rising as it was then, and as it is every time I visit this piece. It hasn't lost its primeval emotion. So otherworldly. Marvellous.
My favorite Mahler symphony. So scurrying, triumphant, and vigorous. At the height of his developmental powers.

What about solti?
@@shadmium3471 gotta listen to it again
I also really like Abbados recording of this symphony.
@@VincentGiza-Composer Boulez did well with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra (Deutsche Grammophon).
Have you even heard Barbirolli?

The Seventh was the first Mahler symphony I could get my mind around. In particular, this Scherzo was just so addictive!
It's creepy and it's kooky
Mysterious and spooky
It's altogether ooky
The Seventh Sym-phony!!!
` and that's why it's so great.

At 1:01:39 we hear that iconic timpani solo. Well played by American born timpanist of this Orchestra, I believe
i thought that timpani solo was awfully played here, but maybe the timpanist was nervous
@@shadmium3471 The timpanist should have used harder staccato sticks and then the solo would be more concise
@@richardwilliams473 ahh thank you. Well regardless of the sound, massive respect to all timpanists, i never realised how hard it is to play timpani
Mahler se inspirou possivelmente no Oratório de Natal de J.S.Bach.
So much energy in this performance. Love it!

Underrated one.

38:49 3. Scherzo. Schattenhaft (D minor)

48:36 4. Nachtmusik. Andante amoroso (F major)
1:01:38 5. Rondo - Finale. Tempo I (Allegro ordinario) (C major)
lets go, thank you!
This is a fantastic performance! Wow
Gielen one of my favorite Mahlerians. And most especially in this harmonically most 2nd Viennese School of all Mahler symphonies.

58:45 reminds me of the climax of the Adagietto from the Fifth.
The tremolo in the beginning is not supposed to be measured!..

Why Mahler? Why did you have to write such a shitshow finale!? The rest of the symphony is so delcious.
The finale is great! The outer movements of Mahler's seventh symphony, in my humble opinion, are some of the most incredible music to touch humanity.
Bro just put the string section at the TOP of the score. They're the closest to the conductor.
That's not how it works my friend
First time seeing a score?
