      @Sparticus Booker I'm a man and I can't go on period.
      And it's disgusting to make fun of women's period in 21th century dear.
      Mahler is toi much for you.
      You better listen to Bieber and Shakira to get emotional.

      @Sparticus Booker This is a good performance.The fact that - apart from No.1 & 10 - his symphonies are long-winded, and feature self-pity to a perhaps excessive degree, tends to be put into sharp relief by bad performances. But wherever song is involved I think one can trust Mahler implicitly.

    Amazing... Even in this "virtual" performance, the immediacy, the power, and the beauty of Mahler's music comes through. Deeply moving to hear the music even like this... May be for many people, this even HELPS to hear at least this small portion of the amazing 30-minutes-long finale to the 80-minutes-long piece in a more intimate way that reaches them more directly.

  • @janicepulliam9607
    @janicepulliam9607 4 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    Marvelously done. I especially like this because it focuses in on individual players as they are playing, and we see them better than we ever do in a concert hall. Also, I think this could be an educational tool for young people learning what the instruments are and what each one sounds like. Seeing an instrument actively being played is much more interesting than seeing a mere picture with a label, and hearing it at the same time will be more memorable for a child, too. I also enjoyed seeing all 48 musicians playing together at the end. Congratulations.

    I heard this symphony of Mahler in summer 2001 the first time, after I bought a recording.
    Some weeks later I spent my holiday in the Austrian Alps. When I saw these giganteous mountains and nature there, I felt this Adagio always in my ears.
    Always when I'm hearing this Adagio, I see the sunset behind the mountains and the rise of the Evenstar.
    Thank you BSO for this video.
    And I wish for all of you, that you can play this Symphony soon again in your concerthall.

      Hard to beat the physics of the concert hall though, the sounds of the hall resonating with the music and the blending of harmony and dissonance between the sound waves of each musician. I wonder if there's a way to seamlessly give us close-ups of the musicians choreographed with their high points in the pieces

This remarkable composite video goes to show how together an orchestra can be despite the COVID-19 social distancing we all have to do, watching and cueing each other from private screens and still realizing Mahler's majesty as an ensemble. And I must say, the coronavirus pandemic has given us some of the best examples of the split-screen technique since the '60s (e.g., "The Thomas Crown Affair" and the way the Brady Bunch members looked at each other from their own squares). Encore!
