Symphony No. 4 in G major
4th Movement (1/1)
Sehr behaglich
performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (Wiener Philharmoniker)
lyrics based on "Des Knaben Wunderhorn"
sung by Edith Mathis
conducted by Leonard Bernstein
My voice teacher always said, "Remember the Eye Smile." It keeps the palate high. That is what Miss Mathis is doing. It is beautiful.
Heavenly. Mathis is truly like a child in heaven on "Sankt Ursula selbst dazu lacht" (6:20). Like I have never heard it before.
Finally a singer who doesn't sing too high on purpose with a ridiculously wide vibrato with a dynamic range that goes from fortississimo to fortississimo.
One of the only version of the fourth movement that I really love, thanks Edit Mathis that was wonderful!
I agree with you, totaly!
Timsit Edouard this is by far the best version of this Piece¡ I love Mathis

This is sheer bliss. Wonderful to watch Bernstein. He lived Mahler. And I don't think I've heard a finer singer of the fourth movement than Mathis.
Amen and Amen! Whether purely audio-or in these days of modern technology, the chance to see it too! PS: Once watching a video of Leonard Bernstein conducting Mahler's 2nd - the most emotional I have ever seen a conductor get!
Mahler, Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic and the wonderful voice of Edith Mathis , pure heaven . Many thanks for uploading .
I adore Edith Mathis.
the singing from the phrase that starts at 6:49 runs down my spine in shivers. The whole orchestra+soprano seem to make up one great sail waving in the wind...
This is the ultimate Mahler 4th finale. Flawless portrayal of a child's arrival in paradise.
Incredible angelic voice. Brought tears to my eyes 🌈
This version, to me, is the best ever! Perfect.
I prefer that w F Reiner conducting & Lisa della Casa singing.
A sweet, gentle performance from this great Swiss singer, evoking the sentiment of the text with just the right touch of mischievousness.
Beautiful, my favourite version of the 4 Symphony. Edith Mathis, perfect....
wonderful. Now I can understand the text. I've Always loved to hear Edith Mathis. A very beautiful voice a really "bel canto" singing.
I almost lost it while i was watching Inside Llewyn Davis and suddenly this marvellous piece of music played. Unexpected, but most welcome and quite fitting!
Of course this is the best version of part 4 I ever heard!
What a complete performance!
Helmut Wittek
lyrics continued:
Wine doesn't cost a penny
in the heavenly cellars;
The angels bake the bread.
Good greens of every sort
grow in the heavenly vegetable patch,
good asparagus, string beans,
and whatever we want.
Whole dishfuls are set for us!
Good apples, good pears and good grapes,
and gardeners who allow everything!
If you want roebuck or hare,
on the public streets
they come running right up.
Should a fast day come along,
all the fishes at once come swimming with joy.
Where is the beginning of the lyrics?
@MilfordNJGuy Ja, das kann ich nur bestätigen. Sie war immer eine so bescheidene und wunderbare Sängerin. Ich hatte 40 Jahre im Wiener Staatsopernchor gesungen. Jetzt bin ich schon 13 Jahre im Ruhestand. Wie schön, jetzt im Alter von 70 Jahren Aufnahmen von ihr in RUclips zu finden!!! Vielen Dank dafür!!!
The best interpreter of Mahler ever.
Mahler's Symphony No.4 ist the last of the three ' Wunderhorn ' symphonies.
Great work of Ms.Mathis and especially, Leonard Bernstein.
The lyrics are taken from The Youth's Magic Horn, a collection of South-Western German folk poems edited between 1805 and 1808. The collection was an important source of idealized folklore in the Romantic nationalism of the nineteenth century.
My god that is beautiful. Now I have to play this tomorrow and try not to burst out crying. Maybe I'll just swoon little. My god.
...and why not cry?!
"Sankt Peter im Himmel sieht zu." Such a gorgeous moment in Mahler.
What outstanding control of voice, pleasant to the ear, and graceful! She sings unlike the majority, who capriciously alternate to high pitches using a lot of vibrato.
LB gets people into that zone. That woman is pumped !!!! The orchestra is pumped !!!!
Edith Mathis is truely wonderful. Usually I love to hear her Liederkreis.
Karajan version of the 4th.symphony with her is 1000yen.But, whole Mahler symphonies by Karajan with Mathis and Christa Ludwig are 90,000yen,secondhand.
I never thought I'd say this, but that is one badass piccolo part...
So innocent, unblemished. Sublime.
Edith Mathis is also one of my favourites. Pushed wildly as she is here by a demonic Bernstein, it is a wonder she doesn't burst into tears instead of poised song.
In what way is she pushed? The tempo is normal...
Edith Mathis is amazing... Her role in this movement really captures the innocence of a child.
True 😙
Just gorgeous and ethereal! I love ALL things Mahler. BTW, "Lenny" was hot back in the day! :-)
conducted by Leonard Bernstein was wonderful!
Have to admit, I never really listened closely to a Bernstein recording of Mahler until just a few minutes ago. Amazing! is one way to describe this recording.
So tightly and consistently engineered, micing is a bit close to the musicians but that's really quite o.k. The sonic stacking of all the different sections is more amazing (!). Just keeps rolling to the end.
04:03 One of the best melodies ever written!
It is actually a quote from Mahler Symphony 3 movement 5! (or Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn, "Es sungen drei Engel")
I love Handel, but not everything he wrote I enjoy. I am not a Mahler fan, but not everything he wrote I dislike. You are right, when I first heard this movement it gripped me, and I do remember this very moment 'Saint Martha must be the cook.' The movement ends so gently and reminiscently. A wonderful piece.
she is fantastic!
Sublime. So well sung.
For the person who asked about the text. The Wikopedia article has a complete translation.
one of the best rendition I have heard ! Bravo !!!!
This version must be on summit of Mahler 4, Mathis voice were melted together with orchestra sound created beautiful harmonies. This was ideal ways of production Mahler 4.
It's one of my favorite music and song, so perfect and pure singing ))
The beginning reminded me a little of Canteloube. Beautiful soprano. Thanks to my mum Prue for sharing this “new one” with me (she deserves credit for my somewhat refined taste in music😄)
just discovered this today. It's still a little abstract for me to comprehend, but I guess this is Mahler.
I have been studying this piece for several years. Every time I listen i hear something new. Seeing this clip added dimensions I would never have imagined possible by listening. as for the people who are embarrassed and creeped out by EM's body language, perhaps you shouldn't leave comments. You do yourself no credit.
thanks a lot. This is probably my favourite mahler symphony, and conducted by my all-time-favourite composer
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Mahler rocks and so does Bernstein!!
She's so happy and relaxed, I like the look to the conductor 😋😋
amazing,beautifull!!!expresive with lustig & sensitive,love it!! she is amazing!!
La legendaria Filarmonica de Viena en el mitico ciclo Mahler conducido por la batuta inmaculada de Leonard Bernstein, que maravilla portentosa. Insuperable.💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹
wow what a voice and expression!!!!!
The best one, the very best one!!!
Mahler is definitely my favorite composer.
The lyrics are from a collection of german folk-poems, so this a rural idea of heaven
. aplace of sensuality ,abundance, and joy .
There is no "must "in this piece, it is f the purest joy and fulfilment , sensuality and spirituality
There goes Saint Peter running
with his net and his bait
to the heavenly pond.
Saint Martha must be the cook.
There is just no music on earth
that can compare to ours.
Even the eleven thousand virgins
venture to dance,
and Saint Ursula herself has to laugh.
There is just no music on earth
that can compare to ours.
Cecilia and all her relations
make excellent court musicians.
The angelic voices
gladden our senses,
so that all awaken for joy.
the best forever version for me
sublime!
Lyrics:
We enjoy heavenly pleasures
and therefore avoid earthly ones.
No worldly tumult
is to be heard in heaven.
All live in greatest peace.
We lead angelic lives,
yet have a merry time of it besides.
We dance and we spring,
We skip and we sing.
Saint Peter in heaven looks on.
John lets the lambkin out,
and Herod the Butcher lies in wait for it.
We lead a patient
an innocent, patient
dear little lamb to its death.
Saint Luke slaughters the ox
without any thought or concern.
This is Bernstein with Edith Mathis recorded in 1977.
Superb! Wishing I could have been in the audience!
This brilliant performance is dedicated to my Primavera!
Masterpiece
Lovely Laura ❤❤
O my god I reviewed this again and again and again and again and just cannot stop listening to her!
Berstein is indeed quite prominent at Mahler that the process of many subtle details have fully shown his superior commandship~~!! Better than Karajan and Solti's versions I think~~!
beautifullll
There are three people who are very sensible and very very clever. To much for our world!!! :)))))
wow that's some wonderful singing
Einfach perfekt.
I love Edith Mathis'performance as well. The only other soprano with an appropriate voice was, to my mind, Sylvia Stahlman in the now difficult to obtain Solti recording with the Concertgebouw., not to be confused with his later recording with the Chicago S.O., which suffers from Kiri Te Kanawa.
Fantastic perfect
¡Qué belleza de final!
thank you so much
very nice well done
Mvt.4 my bedtime
song.
Love
è fantastica....brava
It's perfect! Xx
Genial, nie wieder erreicht!
Otra excelente versión de esta obra se la debemos a George Szell,conduciendo la O.S de Cleveland y el solo interpretado por Judith Raskin. (EMI Studios,Londres, 1965,con una extensión de 10:17).
One of my favourites, I've been fascinated by this piece of music since I heard the Szell/Cleveland Orchestra version in 1979. Well done here, although in most versions I've come across, I would prefer the faster sections to be slightly slower ...
nice job really
i listen every chance i get beau
I like her facial expressions x)
one of my favorite pieces.cute girl.
Am I the only one who heard Carmen Entr’acte in the opening melody?
Frère Jacque turns up at the start one 1.
No, I did. 😏
The soprano's great!! But her smile kinda creep me out first time watching her....
Recorded 1972, I believe. Where are the other movements, though?
Amazing peice of music AAANNNNDDDD....... the audiance is half asleep.
Sigh. This is why I hate classical shows. well, 5 * for an amazing peice of music.
Thay also have some intense endings
This performance is stunning; so much so I have it on my Favorites and listen to it almost everyday. Despite the beauty of the music and the performance by Ms. Mathis, I find the lyrics troubling. One must eat in heaven? If you don't will you starve "to death"? If you're in heaven aren't you already dead? I don't see what's so angelic and heavenly about slaughtering animals either. Sounds rather gruesome to me. The reference to 11K virgins alludes to sex IMO. One must seek sex in heaven too?
yes
I like fon-shtade preformance as well
Ms. Mathis is wonderful, as is Mr. Bernstein, but I have a slight preference for the Battle/Maazel coupling. It's just a personal choice, since both are exquisite performances.
Genial! jajaj que risa con la solista, XD
@1337evan I thought this was pretty, but I sensed no childlike innocence... Edith Mathis did sing very nicely though....
@br0at Thank you, Sir, I understood what you mean.
i can not find regina resnick help
Really fantastic performance 👌
But it doesn't quite feel exaggerated enough for Mahler. The orchestra does a great job of all the mood and tempo changes, but I think the soprano leaves something more to be desired.
More specifically with the 1st half of the movement.
The late, great Ludwig Streicher 2:41

@br0at Are you trying to tell me I wasn't right ? Pay attention man. I know all the Mahler's works for ages !
In the Petrucci music library
can someone please explain what she is saying please? Thanks a lot!!
