- This is one of the best documentaries I've seen about any piece of music or composer.
Amazon's official review reads: "What the Universe Tells Me is probably the deepest, most painstakingly detailed but also approachable attempt to decipher the inner dynamics of a complex work of art ever entrusted to any recording medium". Bold statement, but I certainly agree with it.
I'm not trying to rip anyone by posting this. On the contrary, I try to promote this work and I really encourage anyone to buy this DVD. With the DVD you'll also get an hour long extras on various subjects ("The artist as a prophet" concept, the premiere, Mahler's relationship with the public, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, The Youth's Magic Horn songs) and the full performance of the 3rd that is featured in the documentary.
By the way, the same director (Jason Starr) is preparing a similar documentary about Mahler's 2nd symphony, called "The resurrection of Gustav Mahler"
Whatever you think about it, we live in a profound world, and Mahler captures every aspect of it beautifully
What a joy to hear the great Mignon Dunn again!
Beautiful important symphony, sympathetically evoked here.
What a good production!
SO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREATSO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREAT SO GREAT SOOOOOOOOOOOO GREEEEEEEEEAAAAATTTTTTTTT
4th movement (3:20): sorry there is no hidden message behind lyrics "O Mensch! Gib acht!" - it's just "What Humanity Tells" Mahler. Listen to this Lied with your soul not with your mind.
thank you, thank you, thank you!
Bimm! Bamm!!!
Cheer up.
I see the animals listening this symphony
How does she get such a beautiful sound from a Conn 8D
"What does nihilism mean? That the highest values devaluate themselves."
- The Will to Power (1887), Friedrich Nietzsche
"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
- Matthew 5:39 (1st century A.D.), Jesus Christ (nihilist)
How could Mahler have glorified so much of the "Anti-Christ"'s philosophy while accepting Jesus? This is cognitive dissonance!! Nietzsche contra Mahler
Well to be fair Mahler was Jewish, not Christian. And there probably a chance he believed not in god at all. Hence the Nietzsche.
