Solo trumpet passages played on the higher register, in this symphony are, sometimes extremely demanding.(like in the beginning of 5th part). During the rehearsals in Prague, the trumpeters protested to Mahler that these solos are very difficult to be played,even by professionals. Mahler answered them, that "it isn't worth to talk about some solos while he, (himself) tries to build "a whole world".
@@scottmiller6495 There is no “record”. Ranking conductors is a fruitless endeavor. But Chailly’s Mahler both here and in Amsterdam are some of the finest performances I know.
Mahler is so amazing to WATCH being performed! The complexity, power and lucidity of his vision so beautifully realized here. What a whacked out piece though! So audacious and full of surprises. The orchestra here plays for the gods!
This was an outstanding effort from everyone and the audience should have given these gifted musicians and this wonderful conductor a roaring standing ovation !!!!!
Light vs. Dark, Happy vs. Sad, Creativity vs.Status Quo . This music, at least to me, holds the meaning of life...No matter how dark the night is, the next day always brings a new life to the world yet we only live in the baubles of life for 100 years.
Love the Chailly tempi, that really moved this magnificent symphony along, particularly the final movement. Fine performance of my favorite Mahler! Bravo.
The principal trumpets of this orchestra, at least recently, are absolutely incredible. I wasn't familiar with this guy before, but wow, I've honestly never heard the part performed better. The orchestra as a whole is terribly underappreciated, these Mahler performances in particular are better than almost any other recent attempts I've heard. Bravo!
Not my favourite Mahler symphony but I once heard Chailly interviewed and he said how much he loved and respected Mahler's music. I had tears in my eyes and had to pull the car over. Great interpretation.
You wouldn't expect a Toscanini disciple to render Mahler so wonderfully. Beethoven and Brahms yes, especially considering his intellect. But Chailly draws a brilliant seventh from such an incisive and glorious Gewandhaus.
Superb. I love the first movement, a symphonic poem itself. The last thunderous "noisy" movement also caught me like 20 years ago, as did the Finale of the 5th. I have two questions: the guy who played guitar is one of the trumpets? the cowbells are replaced by metal leaves?
The percussion section calls for both unspecified bells (in this case bell plates) which aren’t tuned to any particular notes (although it’s probably C’s, G’s and A’s) as well as pitched cowbells. I guess the cowbell player didn’t get any camera love!
@@scottmiller6495 Maybe Mahler was one of the most important symphony composer of his epoch (late romantic / decadent), not certainly of all times. Then, where should we place names as W. A. Mozart or L. van Beethoven and perhaps also the same Johannes Brahms?
@@il-lottatore-mike You're absolutely Right it's only my opinion, but I think the 4 best are: Mahler, Brahms, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky! How's that sound?!!!!!
The concertmaster is so amazingly expressive, you dont need a conductor anymore. You dont even need a composer. Put the volume in off and just look at him! All the wonderful faces and movements! Its like he is telling you a story with all his faces. What would be this orchestra without him????
Tenor Horn (as in real german tenor Horn, pitched in Bb like the euphonium but with a more cylindrical and thinner tubing, not the English "tenor Horn" in Eb that is actually a Alto Horn)
Jonathan Müller is playing 1.Trumpet. He studied in Karlsruhe with Rheinhold Friedrich. He is in the Gewandhausorchestra since 2013. Johann Gottfried Clemens 2.Trumpet Ulf Lehmann 3.Trumpet
My question exactly. He is out of this world, unbelievable, and picks off those high notes in the end movement as if the first hour was just a warm-up session. This is one of those symphonies you just don`t perform unless you have a principle trumpet player with marathon precision and stamina. Question: there was one quick shot of a trumpet with piston valves; did the score call for a cornet briefly or something?
Ronnie Moore: Actually, this is a sublime masterpiece. Keep listening, and also try Abbado’s version with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra as well (on RUclips). 😎🎹

Love the camerawork at 1:07 ! Its like the tenor horn player is thinking "holy crap!!".
Amazing performance by the entire orchestra, but especially impressive were the first trumpet and the timpanist! Bravo!!!!

Chailly is one of the great conductors of our time! Grazie!
He was very good indeed ! But in my opinion and many others think that Bernstein, Abbado and Tennstedt hold the record !!!!!

@@jayrev1254 That will work, very good.
@@scottmiller6495 and you forget Furtwängler, Klemperer, Karajan, Kleiber, Maazel, Muti, Ozawa, Boulez. Just shut up.
Yes because d many compositors and many opera.But on symphonies of Mahler I prefer while Bruno Walter,C.Abbado,Sinopoli,Tennest

The brass section at the beginning of the final movement (and throughout the entire symphony) is so, so majestic and gripping. Sublime!
This was an outstanding effort from everyone and the audience should have given these gifted musicians and this wonderful conductor a roaring standing ovation !!!!!
Bravo all the way around this was Superb !!!!!

Wow. Otmar Strobel am Tenorhorn. Wie unglaublich souverän. Ohne einen einzigen Kratzer
Otmar Strobel ist ein fantastischer Soloposaunist und das Solo am Tenorhorn klingt sehr nobel!
Ein Genuß
音一つ一つに命を吹き込む隅々にまで・・・これがシャイーである。
ゲバントハウスの金管が実に素晴らしい。時は違うがサントリーホールで聴いた時が
蘇ってきました。アップに感謝します！
When the harps come in on the first movement !! Oh my God ! Sublime !
Shut up. Dont tell us how great Mahler is. Just shut up.
And the powerful ending to the first movement is incredible, it could wake up the dead !!!!!
Not my favourite Mahler symphony but I once heard Chailly interviewed and he said how much he loved and respected Mahler's music. I had tears in my eyes and had to pull the car over. Great interpretation.
Genial, increíble, superlativo. Muy buena filmación. Hermoso teatro.
this is EXACTLY WHAT I need to hear tonight ❤❤❤
Grandissimo e simpaticissimo direttore direttore ho avuto modo di conoscerlo personalmente.
Extraordinary orchestra, great conductor
참으로 멋지고 훌륭한 영상입니다. 고맙습니다.
Thank you~!!
At 1:00:24 the conductor gives a wink to the timpanist that he is ready for his solo! BRAVO
What???? Just shut up.
Erste trompete: super! Wunderbahr!
I saw Sibelius playing the first violin! ✌🏻

Great performance and all, BUT ARE WE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE BEST AUDIENCE EVER, they waited even after that massive C Major finale...
Absolutely terrific all the way around. Mahler was the greatest symphony composer of all time and many people are finally realizing this !!!!!
Should have shown five more minutes of this concert to see if they got a standing ovation because they sure deserved it, this was a masterpiece!!!!!

GREAT FIRST TRUMPET
What is the oddly shaped brass instrument which opens the first movement ? Is it a tenor horn or Wagner tuba or something else ?
Tenor Horn (as in real german tenor Horn, pitched in Bb like the euphonium but with a more cylindrical and thinner tubing, not the English "tenor Horn" in Eb that is actually a Alto Horn)
Who's the first trumpet?

1:00:35
Jonathan Müller is playing 1.Trumpet. He studied in Karlsruhe with Rheinhold Friedrich. He is in the Gewandhausorchestra since 2013.
Johann Gottfried Clemens 2.Trumpet
Ulf Lehmann 3.Trumpet
Jeremy Mazurek yessss

Some people are writing in the comments that Mahler is great…..
47:40 4th
54:00 mandolin
12:10
Wow that ending was kinda freaky
1:09:00 259
1:15:00 288
Why is the audio quality so poor...
No, not for me. Like so many times with Chailly: too fragmented, too distant, too much obsessed with letting every note be heard. No flow, no drive.
Last movement is absolutely perfect though. Never really liked it 'till I recently found this rendition.
36:32 horn... wrong note...
And?
wo ist das Problem? Sind sie ein frustrierter Hornist, welcher auf Fehler von Spitzenmusikern wartet?
This is a waste of Chailly's time and yours too; religious cult music of low quality.
Ronnie Moore: Actually, this is a sublime masterpiece. Keep listening, and also try Abbado’s version with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra as well (on RUclips). 😎🎹
@@marshallartz395 don't mind him. He wrote exactly the same dumb shit in all top Mahler 7th videos. He's just a troll.
Ronnie Moron
Too many ridiculous comments on RUclips to be believed by people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
how is this religious? WTF
