0:40 I. Andante comodo
25:50 II. Im Tempo eines gemächlichen Ländlers. Etwas täppisch und sehr derb
41:05 III. Rondo-Burlesque. Allegro assai. Sehr trotzig
53:57 IV. Adagio. Sehr langsam und noch zurückhaltend
The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester (GMJO) was founded in Vienna in 1986, on the initiative of its present musical director, Claudia Abbado. Today it is regarded as the world's leading youth orchestra.
As weil as the encouragement of the next musical generation and working with young musicians, it was of particular importance to him to enable young Austrian musicians to play with their colleagues from the then socialist republics of Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Thus, the GMJO became the first international youth orchestra to hold open auditions in the countries of the former Eastern bloc. In 1992, the GMJO opened up to musicians aged up to 26 from all over Europa. As the youth orchestra for the whole of Europe, it is under the patronage of the European Council.
A jury authorized by Claudio Abbado makes its selection from the many candidates at auditions held in more than twenty-five European cities each year.

The wisdom of the silence... You can hear thousand of sounds without instruments in last 5 minutes of this incredible symphony
Incredible that the audience picked up on that
Turning off the lights progressivelly while the 4th movement is ending...magic!!! Like been in the nothing...just only peace
This is the symphony that killed me. Curse of the ninth.
You were working on a 10th I guess
🤣🤣🤣
lollll
The fourth movement sounds like death man it's beautiful, but you must beat death not called for it
Technically this is your Tenth, sir. Remember you wrote Das Lied Von Der Erde before.
The most beautiful Mahler's symphony ... Conducted by the most expressive and sensitive orchestra conductor ... Claudio Abbado... Rest in peace !
Yves Gerard ii
But also what an orchestra eh? Yes Abbado was huge with Mahler!
Absolutely, for an orchestra made of young people, it sounds so good and precise in its execution.
The youth of the orchestra gave extraordinary life and emotions for this deep an strong Mahler feelings...
I agree with you in both words @Yves Gerard
I will not live long enough to get tired of this music and we are so lucky to live in a time of great recordings so Abbado is not gone; Mahler is not gone.
슬프지만 장엄하면서 부드러운 선율이 살아갈 결심을 북돋우른 좋은 연주,
바람이 불지 않아도 살아야겠다.
아름다운 음악은 계속 흐를테니까...
I'm touched by how the young players look still overwhelmed by emotions during the standup, while receiving the applause of the public and the plause of the conductor. As if they had just returned from a long vojage with their maestro from some far away universe, maybe from inside their souls.
That's right. I feel the same way.
I don’t think a symphony has ever made me cry immediately as at the start ever before. Like everything Mahler touched this is a special and magical piece of music.
Maybe Bruckner 7
@@SmeagolTheBeagle yeah that one is awesome too
So good to know that many people share my own feelings. Cheers!!!
Scriabin 1
It’s very moving.
I feel like I've been on a long trip from the lowest to the highest.
Bravo Mahler.
Bravo Abbado.
Conducting from memory.
Incredible.
Magnifica opera grazie 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🌿🌿🌿💝💝💝
I don't know any piece of music more emotionally intense than the first four minutes of this symphony... it shatters me every time I hear it...
@55:37 notice the blue cloth on the bassoon. Someone got yelled at in rehearsals for not playing quiet enough.
I know this comment is 4 years old but it made me laugh out loud.
The 4th movement is simply an Absolute masterpiece!!! And Abbado and surprise surprise (or perhaps not))the young players get it all! Alas. For Beauty!
The final movement leaves one speechless and bereft. A glimpse of eternity. What a wonder to behold.
Well put, it really does feel like a glimpse of eternity.
@@vaadwilsla858 the composition is called "resurrection" that is, of Jesus, who opens the doors of eternity for all who believe 🙌
@@alexm7627 This is not the resurrection symphony, that's the title for the 2nd Mahler symphony
The final seconds of the symphony.. the way he gathers the last notes to silence.. the absolute respect the audience shows by delaying the final applause.. wow, that was magic. brividi..
Beautiful to see that they are playing the last page of the Adagio looking to Abbado, not to the sheet. Specially Cello leader.
Адажио этой симфонии невозможно до конца выразить никакими словами! Это что- то запредельное! Спасибо всем
Variations after and over other variations; it's incredible how Mahler's music and inspiration could be really endless.
When he finished the 3rd movement his expression went like," here we go, the greatest and profoundest final movement is coming"😍
This is the piece that will have to be played on the last day that man survives on the earth.

Claudio is something else... I've watched him do all Mahler's symphony's except the 8th. This is a higher relevation altogether, this piece of music... I have no words.
Well the piece is called "resurrection" pointing to my Lord
There is a distinct difference in sound, especially with the brass and winds... This sounds very "American"... Aaron Copeland sounds like Mahler between the 16th and 18th minutes... Perhaps I can argue Mahler's 9th sets up American 20th century music... This was the "first" of it's sound... Mahler seems to have moved away from integrating folk music from his region of the world and comes out here with a new sound... But I don't know, I've only been studying Mahler for 5 months now.
TwoSets brought me here. I’m glad I came! Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How did this feature?
@@SharpWalkers I got here after their reaction to nodame movie edit: excuse me for barging in
same! no regrets here. that was wonderful
@@SharpWalkers check out twoset's video "10 SIGHTREADING NIGHTMARES" at 2.36 & 3.51
Me too
I remain without words to hear and see what Claudio Abbado was capable to do with this wonderfull orchestra of young talented musicians.
What an incredible conductor, musician, man he was. The immense beauty of this video will last forever.
The end of this symphony is just like Mahler say "i will leave this world after this symphony, so i will make this ending so sad for 40 minutes straight"
See his conducting of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in 2010. There was nearly 2 and a half minutes of total silence before the applause began.
Incredible how maestro abbado made each one of the playes to hear each other,he was fantastic,had the pleasure to play with him in Caracas Venezuela,what a great memory!
That ending as it drifts down to the final C#/Db chord - I've never forgotten that, just that last page or two has influenced my ideas of how to end a composition ever since.
I still think this is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, one of the most satisfying wholes in all of the symphonic repertoire. it's dissonant and beautiful and serene and funny all together and I think perhaps only Bach and Beethoven have this degree of emotional extremity. I would put Mahler in their company and at their rank if I had to choose. I think the tempi are just right and Abbado knows that the upbeat is nearly always slower in the first movement - it's a way of making it float. I think this performance gets the rhythms right too - the ensemble unity is astonishing. the counterpoint of the climaxes in the first movement is like it was being played in piano reduction. it's crystal clear even at speed. the "exposition" - basically the first 7 minutes is conceived as a massive crescendo and rhythmic unification across the whole orchestra culminating in those triplet fanfares. it's so excitingly done and reminds me of the end of Act 2 of Tristan a little. These young people play better than I could imagine. They dig in and give everything. I also think the irony of having a valedictory work played by the young is very beautiful. I am sure this performance is something they will remember forever. Vale Claudio. Vale Gustav M.
... a touch of eternity, reached by hearts...
A swan song for Germanic romanticism, to be sure.
Seems almost sacrilegious to applaud at the end. It was as if people should have simple left in holy silence.
There was a performance here with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado, and the astounding fact was that the whole audience stayed in absolut silence for several minutes after the end of the last movement. Unfortunately that video isn't available anymore.
It's not too bad in this recording either.
I was searching for that video too, but it sad to read it's not on TH-cam anymore. I think that performance at Luzern Festival was my absolute favorite 9th of all time. The 5 minutes (!) of silence afterwards was breathtaking and perhaps the most incredible concert moment I ever saw.
Ignorant people ruined everything at 1:18:28. This symphony should end with the most respectful quietness: no applauds or stupid chants. Abbado had grasped the real meaning of this work of music, which is a transcendental silence.
Job Vink
I don't know what's more incredible and unbelievable...the quality of this amazing performance or the fact that 149 people 'disliked' it! If you don't love great music, what are you doing here??
These types of comments make people dislike videos
Come on! Enjoy the music just! There will always be people deaf, ignorant and stupid. It's not worth spending time on them.
People don't only look at videos of pieces they know they like-they check things out they've never heard, in order to have the chance of making great new discoveries-and sometimes(probably the majority of times)the exploration fails to unearth what the searcher regards as a gem. It's unfortunate, but it's the only way to find what are the ones you think are the gems.

@ranjithranasinghe6315 b7?🤔Ah, I think I see-yes, them were the days! Oh to be 7 again, playing on the beach, building a sandcastle, then imprisoning various nearby beachgoers in it. (I used to build some pretty big sandcastles back in the day I tell you what!).
Gustav Mahler is definitely one of the best, yet underestimated composers.
His 9th Symphony is just one beautiful work of art and the youth orchestra die a great job!
Underestimated? He is widely performed and widely regarded one of the greatest composers ever.
What???
Possibly, the best Mahler composition. The orchestra was great and the conductor wonderful as usual.
That falling F# to E motif in the first movement must be the most expressive in music- there's a world of regret and longing in it.
How happily they are playing! The maestro looks happy, too, to work with the young orchestra. R.I.P.
Grandissimo bravissimo preparato direttore maestro Claudio Abbado lui era stato nominato senatore per sempre , meravigliosa splendida bravissima orchestra, grandissimo geniale sublime musica sinfonica, compositore Gustav Mahler bravissimo geniale sublime compositore
Humanity is 2,8 million years old and evolved up to this. Wasn't it worth it ?
M, agrada molt Gustau Mahler , la Symphony , nine , amb Claudio Abbado..........beautiful ❤
Abbado you're the best and are missed
The most profound symphonic ending ever written.

Elgar's 1st!!
I often imagine what Mahler's reaction would be to this rendition...
that intense longing for life, and nature, Mahler asking why? why do i have to die? glorious interpretation by young orchestra, playing their hearts out....and that ending, so remarkable.....prayers upon the lives lost in the recent tragedy in Las Vegas
To do this, so beautifully with a young inexperienced orchestra Abbado we shall miss you!
This is one of the hardest pieces to listen to for me, 25 minutes into the symphony and I'm already in a great pain, the emotion in this symphony is just too much for me, I never could finish this symphony before crying a river in myself, I don't weep to much, but I can't control myself when I'm listening to Mahler,
Many people of substance also say this my friend.
I m always brought to my knees, tears pressing, when listening to this Finale, particularly in Abbado's superlative version.
1:11:07
My favorite moment of the symphony and this version's too. The soloist just looks so captivated by the beauty of the moment and the music that it seems that they're almost about to burst into tears. Their playing's so subtle and heartwarming too, I love it very much.
Heard a performance of this on the Proms in 1994, with the Berlin philharmonic under Mr Abaddo. It was one of the most wonderful things I've ever heard
I love this concert!!
A long time ago my father, like 30 years ago, gave me a cassette with this symphony.
And i listed for a long time every day with a headphone.
Every time intrigued by the bend and twists.
Then i lost the cassette and forgot the number.
Now this is found back.
He is a great director Abbado.
But still in my memories, it was a bit different.
Beautiful Music, Gustav Mahler Symphony I Just Love The Music, God Bless You ALL! Keep up the Good Music Gustav. Mahler.
"Keep up the Good Music Gustav. Mahler" Uh well he hasn't been able to for a lomg while. He died/passed away way back in the year 1911.
Keep it up, proud of you. Papa bless.
Bravo Maestro Abbado! And why disparage the spontaneous expression of gratitude from people who were moved by beautiful music? This is universal and we enjoy it on different levels. Ewig.
It was a memorable evening. There was the air of great events, it was hard to break that final silence but the public could not wait to vent his thanks to the orchestra and Abbado who accepted President Ciampi's invitation for that one stop at Rome.
La sinfonia che mi commuove e mi fa compagnia nel dolore
What a truly incredible performance with this superb orchestra giving of its best. El maestro Abbado ( rest in peace ) was a true genius in drawing the best out of the orchestra and so paying worthy tribute to the great composer himself.
I've just relisten to this 9th. For me, this version is the best of all time (i don't know the Lucern version) done by an huge sensitive conductor.
Obviously, this symphony is one of the greatest ever written ...
At the end, death is everywhere and the score reflected all the distress of Mahler Soul ...
This version makes me crying every time.
Thank you Maestro !
The most amazing interpretation of 9th !!!
the first movement must be the most glorious piece of music i ever heard. its breathtaking.
4to mov. Es notable como Mahler dibuja los sentimientos de angustia más profundos en esta melodía , toca hondo! Al final es como si estuviera agonizando de dolor .
So beautiful, it hurts.
I have Karajan's interpretation of Mahler's 9th symphony and thought that nothing could match his but in the masterful hands of Maestro Abbado I believe he has taken this extremely fine orchestra of young people to a place of excellence and has transported us into the vast realm of the total human experience like no other conductor has. The final movement is just so heart wrenching as Mahler came to terms with his own mortality as so must we all. Bravo Maestro Claudio Abbado. Incredible performance and best Mahler's 9th imho.
Which interpretation exactly? I hope it's his 1982 live one, not the studio one because it had a massive mistake in the rondo
It is Karajan's 1982 live recording. I didn't know about the error in his studio recording. Thanks for pointing that out. I love Abbado's and these are my preferred interpretations.
@@Jps3bs Yes, if I remember correctly in the studio recording the clarinet comes in a bar early and Karajan has to slow everything down and cut the tempo in half so everybody can catch up, and they didn't redo it for some reason. I prefer Karajan in almost everything (a bit of a fanboy XD) but Abbado is great too. Cheers
@@vjekop932 h
So if we must come to terms with our own mortality, is what happens if we don't that we fail to die?🤞🤪
I´m speechless. I can´t say I understand or even really yet feel this piece so deeply but I know in listening to it I´m in the presence of something truly marvellous. The opening and last movement especially took me to places no other music has reached - and if there was ever a more profound ending of a composition I´m yet to hear it!
what's more one can ask for? Bravo Claudio Abbado and the fabulous musicians
El 4to movimiento es una cosa realmente melancólica
I bought this one on blu-ray, together with Symphonies No. 5 & 9 ^_^
This is THE best video on TH-cam. The finale…just devastating beauty. What a performance from a young orchestra; they must be so proud of the memories of this and their time with the maestro.
Love your comment. Only i should add the capital M in the word Maestro😀👋
@@massimoincarbone8093 As with the "I" in the word "i" in yours.🤣🤙
Beautiful indeed. Outstanding indeed.
In a world of image which is leading us to the final countdown, all you can do is to call this a beautiful masterpiece, the most beautiful masterpiece, etc. But the real question remains. Why is this such a powerful masterpiece? What is the message of the composer? Without substance. And what do we have to do to achieve Beauty? Because we surely can.
le silence a la fin me brise le coeur.... vraiment formidable.
Claudio Abbado und die Orchester, mit denen er arbeitete, gaben mir - wie wenige andere Große - das unvergleichliche, ermutigende Gefühl, dass Sterblichkeit des Augenblicks und Unsterblichkeit großer Kunst zusammenhängen. Sie sind ein großes Geschenk ans Leben.
There is some magic in this recording particularly, bravo
l'Assoluto in musica . Grazie Maestro
Nello Bongiorno Sono contentissimo che esista ancora qualcuno, soprattutto qualche italiano, che ascolta Mahler!
Mahler y Abbado inmortales y esta la mejor de sus sinfonias.
Mahler certainly bares his soul in this symphony, the emotional intensity is utterly profound. And such a masterly performance by the young musicians.
Yes, you found it.
Braaaaavo Young Orchestra...Braaaavo dear Maestro for sublime Art!!!
This is like heaven.
magnifico: meravigliosa gioventù guidata dalla grande anima di Abbado
Amazing performance from 2015. Great heritage of Claudio ABBADO.
Fantasztikus előadás. Claidio ABBADO örökségének egyik legértékesebb darabja.
This symphony is maybe the greatest experience of anyone's life - it is simply sublime.
AKA
It is _______ (expletive or some other intense adjective of your choice) amazing.
An outstanding performance of musical expressiveness, variety of sound, phrasing and solos within the whole. Wonderful! Thank you EuroArts for making it available.
This is the first time I viewed the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. It seems most are younger adults. I can only imagine the intense positive impact that each one had as they were whisked along by one of the most spiritual of Mahler conductors. What a tremendous opportunity and experience. I do so love the violin section.
This isn't the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, this is the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra
Difícil encontrar palavras pra descrever tamanha beleza, sensibilidade e genialidade. Obrigado Mahler, e obrigado Abbado também! 👏👏👏👏👏
My question is who was the guy with the massive balls that decided to clap first?
he probably had a full bladder by then
@@julian.castro18 lol
Should have shouted "Freebird!"
So sad that this posting is no. 1. Mahlers great opus, the last, has here become a question about who claps first, and how great balls he have. That´s an illustration of how we humans are addicted to normal and ordinary life, unable to lift us up a little bit sometimes. I have to say: Shame on you, James!
No, I take that back! After seeing this from the beginning to the end, I understand you, James. I see a dirigent that points his dirigent stick straight at his heart, and the music dyes. And Mahler dies. And all of us dies, a little bit. And then it is a shame to shout: "Bravo, bravo!" And then Claudio Abbado died. It is about life.
I'm so attached deeply to the Lucerna performance - but yet I adore how Claudio made a masterpiece of the Jugendorchester performance .just a prove that greatness is beyond age....
Since Mahler 9th was composed in the 20th century I can state that this Symphony is the greatest music work of the whole century, minute 4 always gets me. It's simply one of the biggest achievements in music history up there in the highest group with Beethoven 9th, Schubert 9th, Bach Mass b minor, Dvorak 9th and very few more...
And Messiaen Turangalîla-Symphonie
and my 1 st "Symphony" i lie.
And, well, Mahlers Symphony #10, the Adagio.
Do not forget the 9th Bruckner symphony
And Beethoven 3rd
Stupenda sinfonia-direzione impeccabile del grande direttore Claudio Abbado-orchestra meravigliosa-
Il sorriso del Maestro alla fine di ogni movimento è rassicurante...Se io fossi stato un suo musicista avrei apprezzato moltissimo. Un Direttore stellare!
Lo era puedo dar fe de ello
With this song Richard Collier died. An incredible novel and exquisite melodies..
Qué tremendo final. Las palabras no alcanzan para patentizar la vivencia de la escucha. Gracias, Gustav, gracias, Claudio, y muy agradecido de esta excelsa orquesta. Una obra mayéstica del genio musical humano!!!
Carlos Cardenas majestuosa
Stunning performance.....adore Adagio...adore Maestro Abbado!
Congratulations ❤
And there will be beauty at the end. And yes we are searching for Beauty, With a major B,. And hopefully there will be an heaven to the ones which will search trully for an heaven, And yes this is an outstanding message,
I love the when how the deep cello sound moves rampantly in between some of the phrases
La gran novena de Mahler, que es una sinfonía triste, pero con un deseo de trascendencia. Esta gran sinfonía se estrenó el 26 de junio de 1912 con la filarmónica de Viena y bajo la batuta del gran primer difusor de Mahler, Bruno Walter.
Buen dato, lo descubrió .. aunque con la notable calidad de todas las obras de Mahler no creo haya sido tan difícil
Unice Mahler Nine
❤
Sensitive and outstanding performance by the GMYO👍🌹👋
Great, incredibale, unforgetable conducting of Claudio Abbado♥️👋🌹👌🌝
basically perfect if you ask me - i love how Abbado doesn't shrink away from Mahler's very extreme orchestrational ideas like the written glissandi in the string parts or the colours of chalumeau register clarinet and stopped horns. I think this is exactly the way i like this symphony played and the opening pages are magical
Esta é, sem dúvida nenhuma, a mais extraordinária interpretação dessa obra magnífica, já inserida pelo autor na modernidade do Século XX. Abbado, do mesmo século, mas que nos deixou no Século XXI, continua sendo o mestre maior da interpretação! Sob seu comando, a orquestra, mesmo a constituída por apenas jovens, toca de corpo inteiro, nunca estático, com a alegria vibrante, ou com o sentimento pesaroso que o discurso na partitura propõe. Plagear Abbado, pode ser um modo eficaz de sublimar a interpretação, mas quem se disposer a fazê-lo, não poderá esquecer que, na própria alma, está o combustível que precederá o resultado que se procura.
Time and time again the Adagio was described as Mahler's farewell from life and the world, ignoring the fact that he almost finished his 10th Symphony. So he was definately not writing this music with the idea in his mind that it would be his last.
I think the key to understanding it lies in the quotation from the "Kindertotenlieder" near the end. The entire movement is a long goodbye to his daughter mixed in together with the experience of grief over so many members of his family that he lost during his life.
But it was music not written with the intention of being a last word, it was music written with the intention of leaving something behind for good.
I also noticed that they did something rather ingenious during the concert. They begin to slowly dim the lights in the auditorium near the end of the Adagio so that the audience sits in total darkness at the end.
👍
Just coz it turned out he had time to do a 10th symphony after this doesn't prove this wasn't intended at the time of writing as a goodbye to the world kinda piece. He may have been feeling like he wouldn't go on much longer, but he underestimated how long his poor aching bod would actually be able to keep going for!
This symphony is like a portal to eternity. It truly shows us Mahler's understanding of life and death.
It really opens a new paragraph in everyone's understanding of life and death. It creates a new state of mindset about appreciation of life.
The symphony is so full of emotions and acceptance of death that, in the ending of the last movement you are not facing death through the music, you are facing afterlife or "eternity".
After the end of the video, i couldn't even move onto writing a comment for 15 minutes. I was just staring into darkness and thinking of what i've just listened.
We, humans, don't appreciate life, and this is the main reason why moat of us don't have a good life. We are too concerned about our everyday needs, that we forget to be thankful for our existence.
Truly a masterpiece, not only from musical ю, but from philosophical and emotional perspective.
*Thank you, Gustav Mahler!*
music with chills of emotion...una sola parola: MAGNIFICO
I'm drawn into truly „ersterbend“! Bravissimo! Maestro Abbado Forever!
I am totally speechless....🤍🤍
