Wow! Such a pleasure to hear and watch a Mshler symphony! The musicians are wonderful! The performance right on!

[joachimwinter]

One of the best Mahler VII recordings out there. Absolutely captivating

[eumoka]

Outstanding rendition by Maestro Roth of Mahler´s 7th Symphony. He is a brilliant mahlerian conductor. Thanks a lot Maestro.

[gotzpahl]

Welcome back Maestro Roth. Thank you for sharing your great musical insight.

Thankyou for the opportunity to watch this performance.

[MahlerHolic]

A fabulously exciting performance. Bravo tutti.

[richardwilliams]

Amazing that the American born timpanist has adapted to the German configuration of his timpani drums.

[asdrubalperez]

this is a great conductor. Always interesting.

If the best Mahler symphony is, as the saying goes, "the one that the listener has most recently heard, " then the seventh is always the one I've most recently heard. Or at least I could say this: there is no greater retransition: there, in that sense, he peaked with seven.

It's so funny that conductors tend to rule in pairs, in opposite polarities: when Mahler 7 was written, you had Strauss and Mahler, and now you have Roth and Currentzis. (Also -- it's so touching to me that when I was a child, the organ I heard at church on Sunday mornings was played by FXR's dad)

Such an amazing interpretation with well-handeled IMO as an audience the overall Tempo of 2rd and 3th movement was just likely to be faster than usual(e.g. in Recordings of some CDs)

[MarcusHammarberg]

Euphonium players be like: Mahler 7? Yeah, I've heard it many times. About 30 seconds long, right?

[Kyle-urmr]

Nachtmusik II is way too fast, so 48:01 and others were predictable disasters

[orgue]

Even NachtMusik 2 is way too fast, no more serenade just a race to the finale

[juanjoselopezcabrales]

No es la mejor sinfonía de Mahler, pero está bien defendida y planteada.

[JoBalDez]

Häh, wieso is der Olaf Scholz der Dirigent? I hob gdacht, der wär Kanzler. Und er is aa Cellist 49:47, a Wahnsinn wos dieser Mann ois konn. So einer hätten wir aa gern in OE als Bundeskanzler.

[pibbles-a-plenty]

Amazing! The camera man finally found a kettle drum. 😮 Wondering about he may eventually find the rest of the orchestra. 😉His constant panning and zooming makes me seasick. 🤢A Mahler performance deserves better. 🤔

[larsjohansson]

Yes he knows the score and they play the notes, but where is the music, the engagement? Where is the mystery, the visions, the humour, the irony? He shows no smile nor an expression anywhere, just conducts the score. This was probably the least exiting Mahler 7th I have heard.
