This may well be the best (or near to it) Trauersmarsch I've ever heard. Han-Na Chang shows great insight. By using tiny bits of rubato and imperfection in the opening dirge, she makes it sound like sad people walking to a grave. Not many conductors get that right. They tend to make it sound more like a footrace, not like grieving persons just trying to put one foot in front of the other, while doing something that causes them sadness. Bravo Maestro Chang! I hope to hear more from you.

Marvelous performance! Bravo to Maestra Chang for following Mahler's performance direction for the Scherzo. 😀 A wonderful orchestra!

◆ 장한나씨의 열정과 강렬함이 느껴지는 연주! 한나씨가 어린 소녀였을때 첼로를 열정적으로 연주하던 모습을 본게 엊그제 같은데, 세월이 많이 흘렀군요.

이젠 성숙한 여인의 모습이 참 아름답습니다. 인생의 깊은 맛이 더 해가는듯 싶습니다.

앞으로도 더 멋지고 좋은 연주 들려주시기 바라는 마음 간절합니다. 행운을 빕니다. 그리고 고맙습니다! Thank You~~!!!♡♡♡

Wow this was incredible to listen to. I have been a fan of Mahler 5th since the movie TAR.

[tonyashbridge]

I really enjoyed this. Norway has wonderful regional orchestras.

Very Well executed performance of this masterpiece!

[Balfour.]

Such a fine decision having the first horn in front of the audience for the Scherzo. Should be tried more often.

[paulinacortes-delorenzo]

This is a most fascinating and exhilarating interpretation and performance of my most favored symphony of symphonies! Thank you so much for this exciting listening pleasure.

[Richard-brv]

Rotary value trumpet at the beginning well played

[Mooseman]

Where's Bud Herseth when you need him?

[xavierbarcelo]

Very good vision of the Condactor. The Orchestra well beyond the fact that so few musicians take the trouble to look at the instructions and gestures of the Assemblator, common in almost all orchestras in the world.
As a student of Orchestral Conducting, I find tuning in the Concert Hall extremely unpleasant and in very bad taste. That is what the Rehearsal Room is for, but not in front of the public.
It is my very humble opinion.

Maybe grinning and giggling to the orchestra just as you give the downbeat not the best way to start this piece, which is very dark fact its supposed to be a funeral march

[jimrussell]

Brass section was disappointing overall. The brass in my volunteer community orchestra played this symphony better.
