Love the Chailly tempi, that really moved this magnificent symphony along, particularly the final movement. Fine performance of my favorite Mahler! Bravo.

[andrewbalio]

Love the camerawork at 1:07 ! Its like the tenor horn player is thinking "holy crap!!".

[andreagori]

Grandissimo e simpaticissimo direttore direttore ho avuto modo di conoscerlo personalmente.

[benjaminjoost-meyerzubakum]

Wow. Otmar Strobel am Tenorhorn. Wie unglaublich souverän. Ohne einen einzigen Kratzer

[davidmayhew]

Mahler is so amazing to WATCH being performed! The complexity, power and lucidity of his vision so beautifully realized here. What a whacked out piece though! So audacious and full of surprises. The orchestra here plays for the gods!

[grpcrsh]

Amazing performance by the entire orchestra, but especially impressive were the first trumpet and the timpanist! Bravo!!!!

[rinoconsol]

Extraordinary orchestra, great conductor

[forcedemodo]

Light vs. Dark, Happy vs. Sad, Creativity vs.Status Quo . This music, at least to me, holds the meaning of life...No matter how dark the night is, the next day always brings a new life to the world yet we only live in the baubles of life for 100 years.

The brass section at the beginning of the final movement (and throughout the entire symphony) is so, so majestic and gripping. Sublime!

Chailly is one of the great conductors of our time! Grazie!

[bingbongtoysKY]

this is EXACTLY WHAT I need to hear tonight ❤❤❤

[MadderMel]

When the harps come in on the first movement !! Oh my God ! Sublime !

[scottmiller]

This was an outstanding effort from everyone and the audience should have given these gifted musicians and this wonderful conductor a roaring standing ovation

[johnvaughan]

Not my favourite Mahler symphony but I once heard Chailly interviewed and he said how much he loved and respected Mahler's music. I had tears in my eyes and had to pull the car over. Great interpretation.

[richardwilliams]

At 1:00:24 the conductor gives a wink to the timpanist that he is ready for his solo! BRAVO

[tonych]

I saw Sibelius playing the first violin! ✌🏻

참으로 멋지고 훌륭한 영상입니다. 고맙습니다.
Thank you~!!

You wouldn't expect a Toscanini disciple to render Mahler so wonderfully. Beethoven and Brahms yes, especially considering his intellect. But Chailly draws a brilliant seventh from such an incisive and glorious Gewandhaus.
