One thing I have reflected on when listening to Mahlers music. You can never, absolutely never, have Mahler as background music. It affects you too much, it requires your attention. I also adore Haydn but for other reasons. You can play Haydn as background music but for sure not Mahler. Thanks for uploading, a master-piece of music, performance and recording!
I agree on the Mahler front - although I can listen intently on my headphones, with effortless concentration, whilst walking the dog quietly through the English countryside at dusk.
As I know all Mahlers works Im trying to find a new favourite composer. I tried Bethoven, Bruckner, but noone can really compare to Mahler :( Any thoughts?
@@krzem3532 From my experience of listening to wide range of symphonies from different composers, mahler is still number one for me. But my sympathies definetly go to Sibelius, Bruckner (especially his 7th), Brahms, Shostakovich,Schubert,Schumann,Rachmanjnoff and to delightful Tchaikovsky. His 6th symphony, especially the final movement of it, is the tragedic masterpiece itself. Definetly recommend symphonies of above-mentioned composers. Henrik Gorecki is also someone i am really fond of. If you are interested, i could point out favourite symphonies of those composers.
@@krzem3532 Try also Stravinsky. His firebrid and the rite of spring are of utmost sophistication. Saint-Saens's so called Organ Symphony is also highly enjoyable.
One of most "Introspective" of Mahler's symphonies... It will always carry me to my youth, when I discovered Mahler thanks to my grandfather. I used to listen to it in the quiet of night, when everybody was sleeping, in my room, with headphones... Now many things and persons of that moment in my life are gone, but I'm listening of the final movement next to my 3 years old son in his sleep. And somehow it's the same feeling.
I have loved this work for 45 years- I spent my pocket money on the full score when I was 16 years old- so I thought I knew this wondrous symphony inside out, but Abbado's performance here is a revelation to me. I am stunned that he and the marvellous players make me hear every bar of this great score as if for the first time. There is the deepest level of understanding and internal relaxation here that eludes many performances. The sprawling first movement can feel so fragmented and episodic unless there is a master in control who has a long- range sense of the structure. I salute the late, great Claudio Abbado and the superb soloists known collectively as The Lucerne Festival Orchestra.
+Paul Barrett I think I bought the score when I was a little older than 16, but it took me many years to fully appreciate it. I got the box recording of Mahler's symphonies by Solti and the CSO, and honestly I think it disappoints. As some people/critics have said, he makes it sound too much like Beethoven. Quote: "... that eludes most conductors, who often make the score sound frequently brash and tense, especially in the sprawling first movement, which can feel so fragmented and episode unless there is a master in control who has a long- range sense of the structure." I couldn't agree more, that is a perfect description of how Solti took it in my estimation. I have mixed feelings on Bernstein's performances as well. I've only heard the first 9 minutes of this video, but so far it is absolutely fantastic. As you say, Abbado has a very deep understanding of the work, well except for the harsh and blaring trombones just after the opening fanfare, I think the sound should be softer and more rounded like Bernard Haitink takes it. But with the recapitulation at 25 minutes in it is perfect, the sound of the trombones, not too harsh, but still with an edge and some bite to it, a perfectly brazen tone. Listening to the horn(or was it the trombone solo) it's just beautiful. I cannot wait to hear the grand and rousing finale of the first movement. This is indeed a great performance, and I have no further criticisms as of 16 minutes in, except that it may be a bit too deliberate for me in some places, but this is rather minor nitpicking on my part, and overall the performance is very good. The dynamics are wonderful, the "lyrical" tunes are played with wonder and delicately but not too sweetly, with just the right amount of accent and emphasis on certain notes, and there is still good driving energy and tension to be heard as well. At this point all I can say is that it's truly a great performance, one of the best I have had the privilege of hearing.
What a privilege to have been there and to have felt everything that this symphony brings. You are a lucky person, like everyone who was in that auditorium that day.
In quei secondi di assoluto silenzio fra la chiusura e il tripudio di applausi sembra che l'universo intero sia in sospensione. Magie simili sono difficilmente eguagliabili. Da lacrime di pura commozione.
Tempo in performing Mahler is very important. Too slow or too fast can wreck the whole thing. Not so with the high priest of Mahler, Claudio Abbado. The tempos always feel spot on. Forever my favorite Mahler conductor, RIP dear maestro. This performance of the 3rd is the best on TH-cam. Watch, listen and enjoy.
Dear Walter, I am familiar with Mahler's outstanding works, but new to watching live recorded performances, especially from Conductor Claudio Abbado - I am HOOKED.
His majesty Claudio Abbado memorized entire notes of this extra vanganza work for 100minutes and conducted every note in right ways for melody, tempo, size, rythm, volume, articulations, and ways of expression in complete ways. Maybe he was a music God of old Greek and revived in this world, I hope he should come back again and again many times to give happiness to many of music lovers. Warm with humanity!!!
In the third movement, post horn and other isntruments were exceptionally well communicated, harmonized, and phrased with musical essence. Especially I love this interpretaion.
Abbado had an extraordinary musical memory. He was of those very rare people who could remember scores in full. It is very hard for anyone to perform this symphony for how long it is.
I thought I had heard the finest performance of Mahler Symphony No 3 when I was present to hear Abbado conduct it with London Symphony Orchestra and Jessye Norman in 1985 but this performance surpasses every other performance I have ever heard. It is the finest performance performance of one of the great works it will ever be my privilege to hear
I did not get Mahler at first (bought a Kubelik box set but not very impressed and found it a bit boring). One day i decided to pick up Mahler from Bruno Walter's box and listen to it actively....WOW. This person must have suffered the hardest things in life. I like the darkness, the love stories and the enlightened moments in Mahler's music. Beside Abbado as everyone else has mentioned, I think the musicians in this orchestra are truely amazing, especially the brass. I thank all musicians and the channel to share this beautiful music with us.
Abbado successfully interpreted Mahler's Symphony No.3 in a passionate yet tranquil way. Especially in the 6th movement, he totally led the orchestra to an unknown heaven, making us touched and refreshed. This is without doubt my favourite version of Mahler No.3!!!
Wow,wie excelent !Der Finale ist beim Maestro Abbado grandiues ! Meisterstueck ! Love G.Mahler and C.Abbado ! R.I.P Maestro and Danke fuer all das Schoenste ! 👏👏👏❤️🎼❤️💚🎼💚🌹🌷🙏🙏🙏
A Musical encyclopedia of space and the diversity of life on our Planet the Earth. And human person is the highest level, BUT part of this ecosystem. Every human person has the ability to feel and enjoy. What brings pleasure and joy? Of course it's some beauty. The world around us is created so wonderful and beautiful! And a person’s duty is to live through himself everything that he sees around him. And talk about your experiences and to share them through the realization of your talents. BUT there is a great temptation to imagine yourself as omnipotent. And then instead of creative power and beauty comes anger, aggression and death… A human person MUST conquer this within himself! In my opinion, Mahler spoke about this in his Third Symphony. Thanks for your attention and I would appreciate if someone could reply about that😊
Mi piace moltissimo quando Il Maestro alla fine dell'esecuzione esprime soddisfazione e sorride all'Orchestra.... trovo sia una grande manifestazione di grandezza e apertura ......
I have explored the joys of Mahler, Abbado and the Lucerne Orchestra endlessly. Over a lifetime of listening to music, of every genre, I come to the realisation that Mahler speaks to very depths of what it is to be human. Abbado and the Lucerne Orchestra and its soloists and choirs reach as close to perfection as is possible: I have not heard better. Thank you. Only Bach compares.
Claudio Abbado was the most successful and outstanding conductor of his generation. I, my ex wife and a friend had the enormous privilege of watching him in Florence, at the Palazzo Piti, in The rite of Spring, by Stravinsky alongside the Orchestra of the Young Europe Colleges. This eas many, many years ago, but I still remember that fantastic evening, which culminated with Abbado extremely young, conversing with the audience and his juvenile interpreters. IT WAS REALLY MARVELOUS!
The final movement (along with the entire work) always moves me deeply, but the other day, whilst walking around in a shopping mall, I was listening to the final movement, and it suddenly hit me as never before. I felt weak and wanted to cry. Music had never moved me like that. ❤️
Sua Maestà Claudio Abbado! Ho avuto il grande privilegio di sentirlo all'Auditorium Renzo Piano. Ha diretto Bruckner con la orchestra di Losanna. Già molto malato, scavato in volto, ma divinamente bravo. Ci ha fatto piangere. Ad un certo momento ha interrotto la direzione e ha chiamato il giovane Gustavo Dudamel, cresciuto alla scuola di Aubreu, gli ha consegnato la bacchetta e il concerto è stato terminato dal direttore Venezuelano.
The look on his face between end of piece and applause is priceless. Looks to be on the verge of tears. As if he knew he didn't have much time left and may not have many more Mahler symphonies to conduct.
the one with the Mahler Youth Orchestra is still up. Almost as powerful. the lights gradually dim as the symphony starts its ending phase, and the stage is almost totally dark by the end.
Incredible performance by Abbado… It’srevealing that the audience shares the emotion, as it lets a few seconds of silence, in communion with the conductor, after the symphony ends. It feels so right. Many times you wish that the applause wouldn’t start so soon… As it is so true that for Mozart, Mahler and many others, the silence that follows still belongs to them.
Totally! 💯 I don’t know why there is such a hurry to be first to applaud or even most gastly, to shout “bravo” first while the music is still ringing. Plenty of time to scream, shout and applaud after a beautiful moment of silence.
Que excelente interpretacion de la tercera de Malher un verdadero regozijo oirla y que maravilloso director Claudio Abbado dios lo tenga a su lado, fue un verdadero GRANDE.-
Nos alegra ver que lo disfrutas Oscar! Si eres un fan de Abbado puede que esta playlist dedicada al director te guste: goo.gl/TW8bxL Gracias por tu comentario!
You know that an audience has experienced an awe almost divine when a piece ends and for twenty seconds there isn't a sound. And as with the second symphony (which I watched just before this), Abbado doesn't turn first to the audience, but brings his fellow performers to their feet to accept the accolades of the audience.
This is a remarkable performance. This is an orchestra put together from some of the greatest soloists and chamber music players in the world. And they play like a chamber ensemble of 108 players, intensely listening to each other. They play with an intense commitment to Mahler's music as if that composer's music were, in the words of Norman Lebrecht, "a matter of life and death." Add to that what appears to be a great affection and even love for the renowned Mahler conductor Claudio Abbado on the part of the orchestra, and you have what I think is the best performance of this epic work ever.
That a truly great soloist like the cello virtuoso Natalia Gutman would unfailingly turn up to play in the LFO, often for no pay, says a lot for Claudio Abbado and the love and esteem in which he was held. Also, she appears to be sight-reading, which I for one wouldn't attempt in a work like this!
1:30:05 One of the best brass chorale ever composed, so fragile yet beautiful and ultimately brings us to the "answer" to whatever question we're asking while listening to this symphony.
Yes! It's even more tender and lovely when you realize that, just a few moments ago, the brass was screaming in some angry musical figures toward the end of the last section. Suddenly there is forgiveness. Absolutely heartwarming.
Impresionante el director de camaras!!!, ya sé que es una herejía, despues de Malher, la tremenda orquesta y el tremendo director!, pero el director del video(para mi una pelicula), es un artista!! gracias, gracias!
There's nothing I can pick apart here. It is absolute perfection. Larssen is the perfect Mahler tone. The phrasing was so thoughtful, none of it robotic. Every second breathed. This is the finest performance of any Mahler that I know of. "...all joy seeks eternity--seeks deep, deep eternity." RIP Abbado, you were a true gift.
This is my most favourite video on youtube. I listen to it usually when I feel any long-lasting strong emotion, positive or negative. Not just this symphony, but this particular recording is very dear to me.
Maestro Abbado was one of the foremost interpreters of Mahler’d music. In my humble opinion, this rendition of one of the greatest symphonies is simply magnificent difficult to surpass. Thrilling.
My first introduction to Mahler was Abbado's 2nd with Lucerne Festival. At 16 it was already my favorite piece of classical music. I'm 31 now, and for years, I've been trying to get into Mahler, listening mainly to Bernstein and Fischer. I knew Mahler was supposed to be full of marvels for the patient listener... but I was desperate, not able to touch his secrets. Since last week, I've been listening to Abbado's performances, beginning with the 5th, than the 1st, 2nd and so on! And it has been a revelation!!! I can't say nothing wrong about Bernstein and others, but Abbado is the one opening Mahler to me!
La direzione del Maestro Abbado è raffinatissima, ma comunque solo alla fine dell'opera ci si rende conto che ogni cosa è andata al suo posto e l'opera è diventata tua. Grazie Maestro!
Such a fantastic performance of perhaps the best symphony ever written. I am glad I was able to experience it live with Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton a few years ago. No need to compare conductors of course, Abbado is just fantastic here, the orchestra, choirs, and vocal solist as well. Thank you for being able to experience this!
1시간 40분 정도로 서서 열정적으로 지휘하는 마에스트로 아바도의 지휘력에 감탄을 합니다. 단원들도 아바도의 지휘에 한 마음으로 답을 하는 모습이 너무 경이롭습니다. 말러 3 정말 대단한 작품임에 틀림없습니다. 아바도여, 그대는 말러와 하나되는 영혼이었습니다. 감사합니다.
Words cannot do justice to the beauty of the final movement; I am no wordsmith, but I will attempt to convey its essence. It places the listener under a spell of serenity, of humbling. The listener transcends into a plane of ethereal existence, deeply moving and a sigh of relief from the stress of our modern world. In the final seconds of the final chord, the earth trembles: Mahler's message is one of overwhelming joy, hope, peace and love.
?? Not remarkable at all. All orchestral players play from the score. This is not sight-reading, it is score-reading. Maestros often memorize the score; they conduct the piece many times more than the players play it, and this Festival orchestra is no exception. Yes, it's a great performance, but not because Abbado memorizes and the players don't.
What a symphony! What a composer! What a conductor! What an orchestra! This is a probe into the microscopic as well as the macroscopic worlds. So many grand designs; yet full of miniatures and mini-worlds. Just 'tsunamic'!
What Mahler did to my ears was more than expected and i can't explain it with words. each song has a special feeling and is for a specific time , this music was like dawn, one of the best song i've ever heard A unique masterpiece...
Abbado ! Incontestable Maître pour conduire un orchestre malhérien, avec ce raffinement, cette expressivité et cette sensibilité à fleur de peau qu'il est extrêmement difficile d'exprimer mais qu'il donne ici sans faillir ! LE Maître ! Infinis remerciements à EAC pour cette diffusion.
I am a true lover of the work of Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonics....and until now i thought they made the best interpretation of this awesome piece of music....but this is another category of Mahler music....Thank you.
Io ho acquistato il cofanetto intero delle sinfonie di Mahler a Lucerna. Devo comunque dire grazie, bravi, bravissimi! a EuroArts per il lasciare a disposizione di tutti questa meraviglia. Grazie
I was lucky to have attended Maestro Abbado conducting Symphony No. 3 with Lucerne Festival at the BBC Proms in 2007 - very special. Finale was overwhelmingly beautiful.
What gets me with this searingly honest and clear rendering of the third symphony by Abbado is the way that the audience are rendered completely silent well after the closing bars have passed.
great interpretation of Lucerne Festival Orchestra, it's a beautiful performance in my personal opinion. I'm a trombonist of Venezuela, the interpretation of the first trombone is very nice... Bravo master Abbado!!
Mahler, certamente, é o último e transcendental compositor da era épica do ser humano neste planeta. As nuances sonoras de suas obras mostram os sonhos, dores e alegrias da humanidade. E encaminham o espírito para mais perto da perfeição, uma utopia necessária para continuarmos vivendo.
1:00 1. Kräftig. Entschieden 34:00 2. Tempo di Menuetto. Sehr mäßig. 43:30 3. Comodo. Scherzando. Ohne Hast. 59:45 4. Sehr langsam. Misterioso. 1:09:13 5. Lustig im Tempo und keck im Ausdruck. 1:13:37 6. Langsam. Ruhevoll. Empfunden.
tantas vezes assisto,tantas vezes me emociono com o genial Maestro Claudio Abbado, os musicos e muitos outros na plateia. Gratidao,. braaaavoooo! bravissimo!
Avrò sempre una emozione così grande da non poterla descrivere, avevp ascoltato po co questo grande Maestro le preformance con Mahler penso che faccia di Lui un eccelso per come dirige l'orchestra e la guida con tutto il suo sapere nell'amore della musica. BRAVO
I was privileged to hear the same team perform the symphony a few days later at the Proms in London's Royal Albert Hall in a concert which many critics described as the best they'd ever attended. I, for one, will never forget it.
Respectful silence at the end! How appropriate! If this work is new to you, you are privileged to hear one of the greatest works ever written, conducted by a great master!
Este registro es histórico! De alguna manera, debe ser preservado para la posteridad. La música es una lengua universal que no se limita a un período determinado, si no que es capaz de trascender el tiempo y el espacio. Por lo tanto, la tercera sinfonía de Mahler bien puede servir como una legado a las futuras generaciones humanas, o como una forma muy persuasiva de comunicarnos con vida alenígena en en un futuro muy lejano, cuando la humanidad se extinga. Serà un hermoso legado.
The most wonderful rapport between conductor and orchestra, so many excellent musicians, individually and in ensemble. This restrained but richly expressive performance is music for our time, a journey outward and inward. Thank you EuroArts for making this available.
I have this symphony on CD but it helps so much to appreciate it being able to see which parts of the orchestra are playing and how it all fits together. it means I listen to the music on a whole different level. I am not an expert in classical music but this performance seems to me especially fine. I feel an enormous sense of privelege listening to this and feeling Mahler's links to composers in the past. Especially in my opinion Beethoven though I suspect many others feel this link too.
Gustav Mahler, el gran maestro de la música expresionista austro-alemana, nos da con su tercera sinfonía, una obra maestra de emociones y sentimientos llegados del fondo de su corazon y su genio, para que nosotros la disfrutemos.
What love tells me stopped everyone as the emotional depth of Mahler's glorious third symphony came to a radiant close. Maestro Abbado makes Mahler's music sing.
One thing I have reflected on when listening to Mahlers music. You can never, absolutely never, have Mahler as background music. It affects you too much, it requires your attention. I also adore Haydn but for other reasons. You can play Haydn as background music but for sure not Mahler. Thanks for uploading, a master-piece of music, performance and recording!
Yeah, listening to late romantic music looks like reading a book
So true for both Mahler and Hayden.
Skill issue. I can do so just fine.
I agree on the Mahler front - although I can listen intently on my headphones, with effortless concentration, whilst walking the dog quietly through the English countryside at dusk.
Once you really get the taste of Mahler there is no going back. Proud to be addicted to his music 🎶

Ad un certo momento ha interrotto la direzione e ha chiamato il giovane Gustavo Dudamel, cresciuto alla scuola di Aubreu, gli ha consegnato la bacchetta e il concerto è stato terminato dal direttore
Venezuelano.
The look on his face between end of piece and applause is priceless. Looks to be on the verge of tears. As if he knew he didn't have much time left and may not have many more Mahler symphonies to conduct.
Watch his performance of Mahler's 9th. Especially the last 10 minutes.
the one with the Mahler Youth Orchestra is still up. Almost as powerful. the lights gradually dim as the symphony starts its ending phase, and the stage is almost totally dark by the end.
Incredible performance by Abbado… It’srevealing that the audience shares the emotion, as it lets a few seconds of silence, in communion with the conductor, after the symphony ends. It feels so right. Many times you wish that the applause wouldn’t start so soon… As it is so true that for Mozart, Mahler and many others, the silence that follows still belongs to them.
Totally! 💯 I don’t know why there is such a hurry to be first to applaud or even most gastly, to shout “bravo” first while the music is still ringing. Plenty of time to scream, shout and applaud after a beautiful moment of silence.
The "life" theme at 6:35 is just so beautiful
A thousand thank you to all artists and in euroart channel for sharing this concert.
Io non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare Abbado, fino a quando vivrò....
Malher e Claudio Abbado ,accoppiata vincente in tutti i sensi !!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love that little smile the maestro gives us at the end of the 3rd mvt. at 59:35. Brings me to tears. He smiles, I smile.
Haha, delightful. The smile reflects the preceding modulations.
Que excelente interpretacion de la tercera de Malher un verdadero regozijo oirla y que maravilloso director Claudio Abbado dios lo tenga a su lado, fue un verdadero GRANDE.-
Nos alegra ver que lo disfrutas Oscar! Si eres un fan de Abbado puede que esta playlist dedicada al director te guste: goo.gl/TW8bxL Gracias por tu comentario!
You know that an audience has experienced an awe almost divine when a piece ends and for twenty seconds there isn't a sound. And as with the second symphony (which I watched just before this), Abbado doesn't turn first to the audience, but brings his fellow performers to their feet to accept the accolades of the audience.
Late to the party, but if you haven't seen the 9th of this Abbado cycle yet, go watch it now!
Fantastisch Alessio Allegrini, der Solo Hornist!
The trombone solo by Jörgen van Rijen is incredibly well played
non sono d'accordo, troppo giovane,
si sente che solfeggia
antonellocesareo jajajajajajajajajaja you are a joker
@@antonellocesareo non penso che sia male, per un professore d'orchestra, andare a tempo. Esecuzione ineccepibile, intonata con bel suono.
maestro el Jorgen van Rijen!!!
👏👏👏👏👏 que belleza , wow ! Que belleza 👏👏👏👏👏👍
Claudio Abbado il più grande.Grazie dal profondo dell'anima.
Abbado és Karajan két külön világ de Karajantól a világ legszebb Adaggietóját hallottam.
This is a remarkable performance. This is an orchestra put together from some of the greatest soloists and chamber music players in the world. And they play like a chamber ensemble of 108 players, intensely listening to each other. They play with an intense commitment to Mahler's music as if that composer's music were, in the words of Norman Lebrecht, "a matter of life and death." Add to that what appears to be a great affection and even love for the renowned Mahler conductor Claudio Abbado on the part of the orchestra, and you have what I think is the best performance of this epic work ever.
That a truly great soloist like the cello virtuoso Natalia Gutman would unfailingly turn up to play in the LFO, often for no pay, says a lot for Claudio Abbado and the love and esteem in which he was held. Also, she appears to be sight-reading, which I for one wouldn't attempt in a work like this!
As someone said, it's not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that!
1:30:05 One of the best brass chorale ever composed, so fragile yet beautiful and ultimately brings us to the "answer" to whatever question we're asking while listening to this symphony.
Thank you this is the best part❤
Yes! It's even more tender and lovely when you realize that, just a few moments ago, the brass was screaming in some angry musical figures toward the end of the last section. Suddenly there is forgiveness. Absolutely heartwarming.
It makes me a little sad that some people go through their entire lives without listening to Mahler's music. Happy though that I found it! 😃
Impresionante el director de camaras!!!, ya sé que es una herejía, despues de Malher, la tremenda orquesta y el tremendo director!, pero el director del video(para mi una pelicula), es un artista!! gracias, gracias!
Gustau Mahler , Symphony , trois , it was very beautiful and inspiring Thank you Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Claudio Abbado ❤
Maestro Claudio Abbado owns all the symphonies by Mahler. He's truly a Genius.
There's nothing I can pick apart here. It is absolute perfection. Larssen is the perfect Mahler tone. The phrasing was so thoughtful, none of it robotic. Every second breathed. This is the finest performance of any Mahler that I know of. "...all joy seeks eternity--seeks deep, deep eternity." RIP Abbado, you were a true gift.
This is my most favourite video on youtube. I listen to it usually when I feel any long-lasting strong emotion, positive or negative. Not just this symphony, but this particular recording is very dear to me.
아바도의 이 말러 3번은 마지막 라르고 악장에서 결국 눈물을 흘리고야 말았다. 아바도 위대한 지휘자였다. 그리고 내 죽는 날까지 이 고귀한 영상은 늘 내 곁에 있을 것이다.
우리 시대 최고의 지휘자..
인정...!!! 루체른 시리즈 dvd 이 사실 만으로도 소장 가치가 충분한것 같습니다!
I absolutely adore Mahler, and now finding the greatest admiration for Mr. Abbado.
Ma come si fa ha non dire che Mahler e uno dei più grandi in assoluto compositori...Avanti a tutti nel tempo ....
Maestro Abbado was one of the foremost interpreters of Mahler’d music. In my humble opinion, this rendition of one of the greatest symphonies is simply magnificent difficult to surpass. Thrilling.
What a great maestro, what an extraordinary symphony, what a great orchestra, what amazing audience. Claudio Abbado é absolutamente genial.
My first introduction to Mahler was Abbado's 2nd with Lucerne Festival. At 16 it was already my favorite piece of classical music. I'm 31 now, and for years, I've been trying to get into Mahler, listening mainly to Bernstein and Fischer. I knew Mahler was supposed to be full of marvels for the patient listener... but I was desperate, not able to touch his secrets.
Since last week, I've been listening to Abbado's performances, beginning with the 5th, than the 1st, 2nd and so on! And it has been a revelation!!! I can't say nothing wrong about Bernstein and others, but Abbado is the one opening Mahler to me!
Sublime et me fait voler dans les cieux du Grand mystere
La direzione del Maestro Abbado è raffinatissima, ma comunque solo alla fine dell'opera ci si rende conto che ogni cosa è andata al suo posto e l'opera è diventata tua. Grazie Maestro!
Enrico Camangi Abbado ci manchi
When my son was a newborn i used the 2nd movement as a lullaby
Such a fantastic performance of perhaps the best symphony ever written. I am glad I was able to experience it live with Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton a few years ago. No need to compare conductors of course, Abbado is just fantastic here, the orchestra, choirs, and vocal solist as well. Thank you for being able to experience this!
1시간 40분 정도로 서서 열정적으로 지휘하는 마에스트로 아바도의 지휘력에 감탄을 합니다. 단원들도 아바도의 지휘에 한 마음으로 답을 하는 모습이 너무 경이롭습니다.
말러 3 정말 대단한 작품임에 틀림없습니다.
아바도여, 그대는 말러와 하나되는 영혼이었습니다.
감사합니다.
Best perrformance of this symphony!
I think that 1:27:54 is one of the most beautiful moments in music.
G. Mahler's music always has something deep and dramatic. Love it !
I'm going to see an orchestra performance in Bangkok on December 2nd, and they will play this masterpiece! I can't wait anymore.
Words cannot do justice to the beauty of the final movement; I am no wordsmith, but I will attempt to convey its essence. It places the listener under a spell of serenity, of humbling. The listener transcends into a plane of ethereal existence, deeply moving and a sigh of relief from the stress of our modern world. In the final seconds of the final chord, the earth trembles: Mahler's message is one of overwhelming joy, hope, peace and love.
What is remarkable is that Abbado knows this entire score by heart, while his musicians frequently require sheet music for their own parts.
?? Not remarkable at all. All orchestral players play from the score. This is not sight-reading, it is score-reading. Maestros often memorize the score; they conduct the piece many times more than the players play it, and this Festival orchestra is no exception. Yes, it's a great performance, but not because Abbado memorizes and the players don't.
What a symphony! What a composer! What a conductor! What an orchestra! This is a probe into the microscopic as well as the macroscopic worlds. So many grand designs; yet full of miniatures and mini-worlds. Just 'tsunamic'!
What Mahler did to my ears was more than expected and i can't explain it with words.
each song has a special feeling and is for a specific time
, this music was like dawn, one of the best song i've ever heard
A unique masterpiece...
Abbado ! Incontestable Maître pour conduire un orchestre malhérien, avec ce raffinement, cette expressivité et cette sensibilité à fleur de peau qu'il est extrêmement difficile d'exprimer mais qu'il donne ici sans faillir ! LE Maître ! Infinis remerciements à EAC pour cette diffusion.
"La meilleure et la plus accomplie de mes oeuvres" Gustav Mahler.Et le visage de C.Abbado rayonne en la dirigeant.
+Zêta oui tu a raison avec mahler 3rd
I am a true lover of the work of Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonics....and until now i thought they made the best interpretation of this awesome piece of music....but this is another category of Mahler music....Thank you.
Io ho acquistato il cofanetto intero delle sinfonie di Mahler a Lucerna. Devo comunque dire grazie, bravi, bravissimi! a EuroArts per il lasciare a disposizione di tutti questa meraviglia. Grazie
We are are so lucky to be able to listen to this but I can’t help but imagine Mahler conducting this himself
I was lucky to have attended Maestro Abbado conducting Symphony No. 3 with Lucerne Festival at the BBC Proms in 2007 - very special. Finale was overwhelmingly beautiful.
This performance is a so.dam good.
I am very lonely music helps me.
What gets me with this searingly honest and clear rendering of the third symphony by Abbado is the way that the audience are rendered completely silent well after the closing bars have passed.
great interpretation of Lucerne Festival Orchestra, it's a beautiful performance in my personal opinion. I'm a trombonist of Venezuela, the interpretation of the first trombone is very nice... Bravo master Abbado!!
Mahler, certamente, é o último e transcendental compositor da era épica do ser humano neste planeta. As nuances sonoras de suas obras mostram os sonhos, dores e alegrias da humanidade. E encaminham o espírito para mais perto da perfeição, uma utopia necessária para continuarmos vivendo.
A stunning performance in every respect! Bravo Claudio Abbado and The Lucerne Festival Orchestra!
1:00 1. Kräftig. Entschieden
34:00 2. Tempo di Menuetto. Sehr mäßig.
43:30 3. Comodo. Scherzando. Ohne Hast.
59:45 4. Sehr langsam. Misterioso.
1:09:13 5. Lustig im Tempo und keck im Ausdruck.
1:13:37 6. Langsam. Ruhevoll. Empfunden.
Gracias por describirme los tiempos, he conseguido entender mejor y disfrutar de esta esta maravillosa música.
You are a good person, thank you
Conmovedora y maravillosa música. Genial, sublime Abbado
Bravo also to the film makers - beautifully edited.
Perfect. This how this work should be performed. Bravo Claudio!
Unbelievable performance. Abbado's sense of music line has no rival. Cannot stop listening to this performance. Thank you for making this possible.
With love from Belarus, Mensk !!!
One of the most entertaining pieces ever written. Every phrase more interesting than the last, it seems. The trombone solo is simplyperfect.
"Entertaining" seems much too maudlin a word for this piece or this performance.
Extraordinário a música, a Orquestra e o saudoso Maestro
tantas vezes assisto,tantas vezes me emociono com o genial Maestro Claudio Abbado, os musicos e muitos outros na plateia. Gratidao,. braaaavoooo! bravissimo!
So little said of Anna Larsson's spectacular performance. Mahler must have known she would turn up one day.
Avrò sempre una emozione così grande da non poterla descrivere, avevp ascoltato po co questo grande Maestro le preformance con Mahler penso che faccia di Lui un eccelso per come dirige l'orchestra e la guida con tutto il suo sapere nell'amore della musica. BRAVO
I was privileged to hear the same team perform the symphony a few days later at the Proms in London's Royal Albert Hall in a concert which many critics described as the best they'd ever attended. I, for one, will never forget it.
I was there at the RAH for that too. Unforgettable. A privilege to be there.
Respectful silence at the end! How appropriate! If this work is new to you, you are privileged to hear one of the greatest works ever written, conducted by a great master!
гениальный композитор и дирижёр. это просто не передать словами . чувства,слезы....
Amazing sound from this Orquestra!!! Very good individual musicians and amazing group!!! An Orquestral sound created by the Great Claudio Abbado!!!
The horn section is absolutely superb here!
Incredible! The brass at the end were glorious. Thanks for posting this!
My favourite symphony, brilliantly interpreted !
Please, take for you just a moment to realise that M° Abbado learnt all the Mahler's symphonies by heart!!
that was before Netflicks....
Este registro es histórico! De alguna manera, debe ser preservado para la posteridad. La música es una lengua universal que no se limita a un período determinado, si no que es capaz de trascender el tiempo y el espacio. Por lo tanto, la tercera sinfonía de Mahler bien puede servir como una legado a las futuras generaciones humanas, o como una forma muy persuasiva de comunicarnos con vida alenígena en en un futuro muy lejano, cuando la humanidad se extinga. Serà un hermoso legado.
The most wonderful rapport between conductor and orchestra, so many excellent musicians, individually and in ensemble. This restrained but richly expressive performance is music for our time, a journey outward and inward. Thank you EuroArts for making this available.
I have this symphony on CD but it helps so much to appreciate it being able to see which parts of the orchestra are playing and how it all fits together. it means I listen to the music on a whole different level. I am not an expert in classical music but this performance seems to me especially fine. I feel an enormous sense of privelege listening to this and feeling Mahler's links to composers in the past. Especially in my opinion Beethoven though I suspect many others feel this link too.
Who are these people who posted thumbs down on this? Do they even know anything about this work?
+William Perry Never underestimate anonymous people with either no understanding or a disagreement of the interpretation.
Brahms fanboys ^^
one of the best synergy in the brass finale ever!!!
Gustav Mahler, el gran maestro de la música expresionista austro-alemana, nos da con su tercera sinfonía, una obra maestra de emociones y sentimientos llegados del fondo de su corazon y su genio, para que nosotros la disfrutemos.
Masterpieces like this should be the only mandatory stuff to inoculate all mankind! Thanks for the shot.
What love tells me stopped everyone as the emotional depth of Mahler's glorious third symphony came to a radiant close. Maestro Abbado makes Mahler's music sing.
