    Mahler used to travel to the mountains every summer, where he had a house with a small hut in the garden where he worked. He didn't like to be disturbed when he was working, and the rule was that if the door was open, you could go and talk to him, but under no circumstances should you interrupt him if the door was closed! He wrote nine symphonies and they are all long pieces of music in several movements. Mahler thought that a symphony should be like the world, that it should contain all kinds of musical emotions. His music, which is sometimes joyful, sad, anxiety-provoking, dramatic, sublime, funny, mean: it’s all there! This melody contains all types of emotion. It begins with a funeral march including dramatic music with waltzes and a massive, triumphant ending. The Adagietto is the shortest movement, lasting about 10 minutes, and it does not use the full orchestra: it is just scored for strings and harp without the presence of woodwinds, brass or percussion. The piece is written to represent his love for his future wife, Alma, and the work is full of fiery beauty. It is lyrical and slow with emotional and passionate outbursts. This is the apogee of Mahlerian writing if not that of the symphony. Imagine a work of such magnitude that it actually reflects the entire world. *Lucien*

    I listened to this one evening watching the sun saying its goodbyes for the day above a line of trees in the distance. It was positively magical. It was almost as if the sun were orchestrating its light and the final bursts to compliment the music. It actually even timed perfectly to part behind the trees at the ending moment. Was driven to tears by the perfection of it all. One of natures masterpeices befitting of one of mans masterpieces..

    Self-evidently, this is among Mahler’s inspired moments as a composer. The music, in its evocation of nostalgia and longing, seems metaphorically to breathe. While it could be argued that this performance was not technically the most perfect, its sense of development and its pace (not arbitrarily too slow - it is an adagietto, not a largo, and must seem to continue breathing) is exceptional. Very moving! Wish all of the performance was available. I did not know the conductor but am mightily impressed.

    Sterling performance! Gives this string music the ghostly, ethereal treatment it begs for. This to me is the essence of Mahler (along with the 4th movement of the 9th symphony): beautiful tonal chorales giving way to tension-ridden tonal clashes, yielding to beautiful tonal chorales again: The tension is unbearable, the music infinitely sad. Amazing

    I love this music, how it comforts me in my times of need in the dark nights of the soul even the entire universe, but yet clearly, the soul is there and the animist and alternative religion traditions also recognize this fact. As far as I can tell as a member of the Universal Life Church, I’m happy to study any religion that doesn’t mean I necessarily profess or hold the same values as those that I am studying. And that is what the universe tells me. From across the universe to across the continental divide.

    Mahler at his best. It brings forth exquisite imagery that reminds us of life's beauty in the midst of all its other trials. It invites us to think, to feel that there is still good in remembering love.

    Of all of Mahler's prolific output of great symphonies chorals and songs, this has become his most popular, and often performed stand alone without the rest of the piece, and for good reason. People who listen and are not moved are lost.

    This music transcends language to describe its unutterable beauty. Painfully romantic, the gentle orchestration tears at your heart and causes your soul to soar across a velvet ocean of timeless tranquility. One is almost afraid to breathe lest even the most gentlest of movements mar the experience.

The women tell to her that is a music and everybody who listen that can put all feeling or meaning they want. After understanding that, the whale ask to her who is the human composer and if she meet him...very sad and beautiful scene.
