I was lucky enough to be in the audience that night. I had the great pleasure of attending the rehearsals as I was studying conducting in Prague, but even having heard the preparation, I was still completely blown away by this performance. I can usually talk and talk about a performance but on this night I could barely speak, I was so moved. How wonderful to get to relive it, vielen Dank DW!!
i don't think I could have survived that first movement - the climaxes utterly intense and wild, but so confidently and expertly played, this is one of those rare performances where the musicians really know where they are and very often the conductor is just luterally doing what the score implies - the first movement has a lot of allegro triplets, a kind of rhythmic life that to me evokes the marches of the sixth, this is a rare performance that really keeps the momentum up until the big climax. my only quibble would be that I like the trombones and tam tam to let rip at the big climax. but the big moments where the music needs to soar do in a way that is frankly more rare than you'd think (for me at least)
I have been a BIG fan/listener of the Czech Phil for 40 years. Great orchestra with wonderful history of performing Mahler, and they still got it. Bravo 👍
@@staffanolofsson8201 Good! And what a majestic concert hall, it looks awesome! I've seen it several times in other broadcasts, would love to attend a concert there live! Mahler himself is known to have come to the Rudolfinum, and quite likely conducted there
Great playing from the orchestra! This is the 4th piece of Mahler I've heard from Maestro Bychkov, and they are all truly idiomatic. A wonderful job of directing!
Una de las mejores interpretaciones y ejecuciones de esta gran pieza sinfónica, los que conocemos el mundo Mahlereano, sabemos cuán significativa es para nosostros, ¡Viva Mahler! ❤🎉
Beautiful composition :) Chapter markers really help :) I wish I had more musical knowledge to understand this master piece better :) I had a great time watching this Symphony :)
the strings especially seem to really understand as a whole how their lines interact polyphonically and rhythmically, their use of portamento is really eloquent and "right" to my ears. bravo, that first big climax that leads to that amplified expanded variant of the opening material, filled with the "lebwohl" motif, is so well done and the galloping triplets at the end of the exposition are wonderfully played and built.
Why are we seeing ads in middle of classical concert?! Put them in the beginning or in between movements, fine but cutting the playing music to show ads just proves distaste and lack of respect for art. Please time the ads more thoughtfully (and please don't tell me it's Google or whatever cause I've seen how others managed it).
At the first movement climax where the marking is Mit höchster Gewalt (with the greatest force) it felt too understated to me. Maybe this is too much of a quibble but it's something that matters to me when I listen. This was very disappointing to me. Great performance otherwise.

What's your favorite Mahler symphony ?

Strong performance Czech Philharmonic.
Thank you so much for this. Mahler always catches me off guard. What a beautiful performance.
I have been a BIG fan/listener of the Czech Phil for 40 years. Great orchestra with wonderful history of performing Mahler, and they still got it.
Bravo 👍
That fact is so overlooked. The Neumann recordings of Mahler are stupendous. The Bohemian approach works so well with Mahler.
Just a minute in and I hear the lushness typical of Mahler. Fantastically rich! Even before the fortissimo abut 3 minutes in.
Genius Gustav Mahler! Divine music!!!!! Full of love and tenderness!!!!!!
Absolutely spellbinding performance! Bravissimo Maestro Bychkov & Czech Philharmonic Orchestra!
Yes! This performance has been running on Mezzo a couple of times, but it's great to have it permanently (?) on RUclips.
@@louise_rose Yes, permanent! I trust in DW Classical Music.

@@louise_rose I never before listened to a consert from Rudolfinum, so for me it is a new experience. Greetings from northern Sweden!

Thanks
Wow 1h18 this conductor is such a gentleman. I attended his rehearsals many years ago in La Scala
We're glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow us in order to not miss out in the future 😊
I could see the stairs to rise the heaven in this music's coda only strings written by Mahler himself "ersterbend"…
A magnificent performance and intriguing interpretation, which spurs me to look for other performances by this ensemble. William Weber

I humbly just can say that I am deeply impressed! The power, the intimacy, the tragic feeling. Words fail me.

Just revel in the beauty of the music; sometimes the way it reaches your heart is as important as musical knowledge.
Thank you Gustav and DW
Our pleasure 😊
Une incroyable performance. Un orchestre sublime et un chef d'exception. Merci.
Direzione fantastica e toccante 👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹😘
this is very beautifully played!

utterly magical horn playing in the final movement

Thank you very much.
English is translated into Japanese.
Incredible ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

全部を聴いてないので判断は難しいけど、懐かしいチェコフィルの音色が戻ってきたかも？
Das ist beinahe schon unmöglich.
Ja, aber es ist möglich. As I understand it. After listening to this.

Unfortnately, the ads are managed by RUclips. We're sorry to hear they've been interrupting your listening experience.
