Zu Gott! Zu Gott! The climax around 2:25 might be the most overwhelming in all of music. I've known this symphony for 60+ years, beginning with the great recording by Bruno Walter, and it never ceases to amaze me. What Chailly wrings from his forces is exactly what this needs.

You have to die to live forever. Amen. Superb Chailly.

Lots of great performances of the Resurrection, but the one that first made me feel it as a truly special piece of music was Tennstedt's live recording with the LSO. Took my breath away.

[RBP]

Wow ! A mastery version of Riccardo Chailly !

[miguale]

Grandiose... sous la baguette magistrale d'un grand Maitre... bravo ! Bravo ! Michèle

If Heaven doesn't play classical music, it would be such a dull, tasteless realm! Even God shall be moved by Mahler's Resurrection!

[rinosquarzoni]

La 2 Malher sicuramente la più complessa, forse la migliore.

[monolyth]

Aw yeah, tilt those french horn bells up! Way to cut off the last like 20 seconds of the symphony.

Ciao Riccardo, come stai? Senti, penso che Kissin voglia prendere tutta la mia musica e uccidermi con glimgiudizie, alloraho scritto 4 opere, Anne Frank e Evgeny Van Gogh sono finite, e gli altri "9/11" "Santa Cecilia ", e "Frida Kahlo " non sonomfinite. E prendo il nome del papa, perche mi senyo piu sicura, voglio diventare 100, ma con questo brutale Kissin non e possibile. Ti amo, mi fai la amicizia di mio padre, per fare i doldi con la mia voce e la mia opera! Auguri, Luciana Pavarotti
