The viola phrasing, is just wonderful!!! And the a la stick pizzicato strings cue!!! Followed by epic muted trumpet fanfare!!! Then the greatest crash cymbal climax!!!! THEN HOLY GOD LIKE HORNS!!!!! This is sheer perfection.
Those are not easy passages for the orchestra, especially at that tempo, but they nailed it. Maestro Dudamel's phrasing and separation of musical thoughts is wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing the entire performance.
I'd actually pay a lot to just see him conduct with his hair only. No baton, no waving arms, just him shaking his head. I seriously think he could pull it off...
A brief video is posted to TH-cam of Dudamel conducting Mahler's 9th in the place he'll be starting in 2026. As for long-time popular canon composed by John Williams & performed in LA & Vienna (by either Dudamel or Williams himself) is also posted to YT. The talent & skills of musicians & a conductor are affected by the space around them.
Perhaps I will never understand the hype associated with Dudamel, even more so after hearing him live on multiple occasions. It really makes me question the critical listening ability of today's concertgoers and TH-cam watchers. Let the comments come forth of "oh, like you could conduct this any better?" or "some people are so miserable they can't appreciate true beauty" but I stake my claim, Dudamel is a PR success and has very little to offer serious music lovers.
Very little? Dang it, man. I understand that one might have questions and doubts about some musical decisions, however, to say that he has little to offer speaks more about you than him. Vienna and Berlin have a tradition to keep yet the invite him often, are they deaf as well?
I agree and although Dudamel has done a few good Mahler recordings, this one was rushed like crazy and the fast tempo at the end, spoiled all the grandeur of one of the most epic "First" symphonies in the repertoire.
Hm, I am very undecided about Dudamel. I heard him with Mahler 2 two years ago and was not completely impressed. Tonight it´s going to be Mahler 6 with the Berliner Philharmoniker and I am curious because it´s one of my favorite symphonies and I have high expectations.
Anyone that is not a wind player has a mask on. My question is - by actual statistics, how much more did the wind players get sick than the masked players? Was there any difference at all?
fwiw, the recording is from Oct 2022. However, even over a year ago the sight of people wearing face masks in various places was similar to seeing them wearing one while driving alone in a car. Or when outdoors jogging all alone in a quiet park. Which I've seen, particularly between 2020-2021, less so 2022.

This is by far the best rendition of the ending of this symphony played in a long time. Definitely a definitive performance 💯👏🎶🎧🎵
not even close to the best……
@@tip3y592exactly just random tempo after random tempo
Wonderful! Please release the whole recording, would be great to compare with the recording from his inaugural concert.
wow - every time I think I've heard this symphony performed to sheer perfection, someone comes along and tops it - bravo Maestro Dudamel and LA Phil
Thank you. Best ending of all the Mahler symphonies, imo.
BRAVO
BRAVO!! Best version yet!!!!!!!!!

Just...WOW!!!! ❤
Dudamel conducts the bloody woodwind trill with his damn hair.... He's a bloody genious 😂🤣

LA Phil should offer digital subscription like the Berlin Phil.
fyi the horns are supposed to all stand up per Mahler's score.
Danke, das mit den Hörner wusste ich nicht.

Sounds great
Nice and soft and warm.
Question
Why are all the players with Masks??
That’s what you’re focusing on?
I had the same question.
Adorável em todos os sentidos e esse estupendo Maestro!!!!!!!❤
The artistry of the musicians is off the charts. I have an issue with some of the tempi, but otherwise, marvelous. Bravo Tutti.
Absolutely lovely interpretation! The slower tempo was very new for me. Although I sometimes felt like the percussion clipped in the recording?
Дюдамель крутой конечно! аж мурашки от него
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎼🎼🎵🎵❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s casual…😳
Les masques sonnent bien!
어딜가나 브라보맨들이 문제구나.. 한국만의 문제는 아니군
Amazing just why are the strings all wearing masks was this fact during the scam or afterwards
I am sorry, Audience's reaction is too impatient...

вы профессиональный музыкант?
Can you elaborate?

Nice playing . . . but why IN THE WORLD are the string players wearing masks?!?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂🙄

Because of being in Los Angeles.
Imagine feeling the need to wear a mask in 2023 😂
in the description "Recorded on October 6, 2022"
2022 fall.
Playing pretentiously with tempos doesn’t mean he’s a good conductor… specially with Mahler… it is not what is written in the score.
