The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is a marvelous group and organization. Gustav Mahler was and is an absolute gift to humanity. I truly thoroughly enjoyed conductor Rafael Payare's interpretation of this classic work. The 5th demands deep work from each of the musical sections of the orchestra. And Rafael Payare is conducting minus a score. He is totally engrossed and has a thorough understanding of what Mahler is demanding. The brass section's lead trumpet must head the multifaceted harmonic and melodic structures that drive this orchestral work. And the string and woodwind sections of the orchestra display wonderful passages of technical, melodic and harmonic brilliance. It's early on a Thursday morning and I am thoroughly engrossed in this piece. And the percussion section is providing continuous support. I am definitely going to purchase this masterpiece. And the orchestra's diversity is illuminating to both my soul and spirit. It simply amazes me that Gustav Mahler absolutely had so much creativity traveling throughout his body, spirit and soul. Simply SUPERB!!
I attended this concert. What a magnificent experience! The Detroit Symphony definitely deserves much more credit than it gets (I might be biased as this is my home orchestra). In a couple of weeks I am going to see them perform Carmina Burana as well as a new set of Paganini Variations by 11 different composers. Looking very much forward to once again experience this phenomenal orchestra!
I grew up in the Detroit area so the DSO is my "home orchestra" as well. They are definitely underrated. I felt this way back then, I feel this way now.
I'm stunned how transparent and structurally aware this performance is, yet in the same time full of passion. I've heard some details that are not audible in most performances. Wonderful job with this wonderful diverse orchestra.
I agree, he's always got his eye on the prize and keeps pushing forward, most convincing Mahler 5 I've heard in a while, great playing too, they stick to him like glue.
This group has a warm/deep sound, and it's nice to hear an interpretation of Mahler 5 without so much "edge". I like hearing some of the low string parts in places that I normally don't. Bravo to principal horn Karl Pituch, as always!
Sono stupita dalla trasparente consapevolezza di questa esecuzione, ma allo stesso tempo piena di sensibilità e trasporto. Lavoro meraviglioso, meticoloso diretto dal grandissimo Rafael Payare che mostra sensibilità senza eguali.
At some point I noticed the conductor is working without a podium or a score. I suppose those would be impediments to Mr. Payare's full-body conducting style. (Did he learn that from Leonard Bernstein?) But to keep track of a score like that in your head! WOW! Hard to tear myself away from this performance!
This man and the great Leonard Slatkin are the greatest modern day conductors of this fabulous orchestra and this performance is extremely satisfying on all levels Bravo !!!!!
Sono sorpresa da quanto sia limpida e complessivamente consapevole questa direzione, ma nel contempo piena di passione. Ho ascoltato alcuni dettagli che non sono udibili nella maggior parte delle esibizioni. Grande impegno con questa splendida orchestra e Meraviglioso Payare!
Wonderful music coming from fabulous musicians! This diversity is unique and the way of the future for all orchestras, with a very statistically accurate male-female component. Screened auditions, no doubt. Bravi tutti!!
La Detroit Symphony Orchestra è una organizzazione meravigliosa. L'interpretazione del Maestro Rafael Payare in questa Sinfonia ha una conoscenza approfondita di ciò che Mahler sta chiedendo. La diversità dell'orchestra è veramente illuminante per la mia sensibilità musicale.....Un'esecuzione Grande!
One of the players is asthmatic. The miking is really close. Weird. I thought it was the conductor, but he's not near enough to a mike. One of the players who's not always playing.
Not heard this conductor before, gotta say I can see why just about every fine orchestra he''s guested at want him back to take over the orchestra for an entire contract's worth. He keeps things moving very nicely and doesn't overdo the rubato, it feels just about right so that that feeling of momentum is constant, yet we hear so much of Mahler's intricate writing along the way, especially difficult in this symphony of all of his as he was exploring a much more contrapuntally complex language than he had previously, there's just so many lines moving in & out of one another. He's getting the orchestra playing very lucidly, plenty of depth & range and just holding back a bit on the power which makes it all the more impactful when the orchestra does actually unleash where they're supposed to, at key moments. Great performance from an orchestra who have been going through truly awful times in recent years, even before the kapow of the pandemic. The DSO have always been in the shadow of the likes of the SFSO, the Cleveland, the NYPO, the Philly (in past years at least), but when truly great conductors like Dorati stick around an orchestra like the DSO, you know there's a reason why. Keep it up DSO! And looking forward to hearing more of Payare too, great video.
La Detroit Symphony Orchestra è un'orchestra meravigliosa. Gustav Mahler era ed è un dono assoluto per l'umanità. Ho apprezzato molto l'interpretazione del direttore Rafael Payare . È totalmente assorto e ha una conoscenza approfondita di ciò che Mahler ha scritto. Sono completamente presa da questo brano . Gustav Mahler ha avuto tanta creatività attraversando il suo corpo, spirito e anima. Grandissima esecuzione!
Sono meravigliata da quanto trasparente e strutturalmente consapevole sia questa esecuzione con il grande Rafael Payare piena di passione. Lavoro splendido con questa direzione e con questa orchestra .
¡Soberbia interpretación! Realmente maravilloso escuchar y observar la ejecución de los infinitos matices de ésta magnífica obra Mil gracias por compartirla. 🍀
One of the best performances of this symphony I've ever heard. Clear, transparent, and powerful. Payare knows how to use silences. Compare with Dohnanyi and the Cleveland Orchestra. And all of this without score.
I thought I'll put it on & have a listen to the 1st movement, see how it pans out. First time I've listened to Mahler 5 all the way through for a long time (overkill having heard it so many times in past years), such was Payare's impressive account of this symphony, constantly driving forward but losing very little of all that myriad detail, best Finale I've heard for a long time.The control & range of this orchestra is really impressive too!
After that horrible strike and the winter the musicians had to endure, that first Dvorak concert back was so sad. Through Leonard Slatkin’s care, exceptional new hires (Hunter Eberly, trumpet, wow!), the orchestra is in very fine shape. A world class 5th, here. Bravo all.
After listening to most of the famous versions of Mahler 5 (Abbado, Bernstein, Simon Rattle) I found this one very unique. I think the conductor and the orchestra had a very strong characteristic attached to this performance, especially the final climax I think the contrast between brass and string are extremely strong, which is very impressive.
Hunter Eberly and Karl Pituch are amazingly good. Detroit sounds very good. This is a very well done M5. Maestro Payare is magnetic, saw him live in Philly recently. He is a crowd pleaser to be sure. Scherzo could have been a hair brisker. Rondo built to an exciting as hell finale!
I just finished listening to a wonderful livestream with Rafael Payare and Gerard McBurney hosted by Martha Gilmer of the San Diego Symphony. Martha tipped us off to this wonderful performance. Visit San Diego Symphony's CZcams channel and listen to Episode 5 of the "Listen // Hear" series for a fascinating discussion of the Mahler 5
For some reason the Mahler 5th does not fare well in most performances. I have yet to hear ANY performance that checks all the boxes.. That is until now. This one comes as close as any I have ever heard. Very impressive.
I couldn't ignore the heavy breather...!! Either Raphael got too excited, or the microphone was too close to a wind player's instrument. A little sound-checking next time production? Other than that, awesome performance. Tempos spot-on where I like them!!

He, Rafael Payare, was ALSO AWESOME in his conducting WITHOUT a score

@@cynthiasmith2991 I loved it when the great Leonard Slatkin was the main conductor he was Superb !!!!!

Honestly one of my favorite filmed performances of this piece. Detroit is serious about this one!
Great orchestra, great conductor, great camera man and great sound engineer!!! Congratulations.
Superb performance worthy of a roaring standing ovation !!!!!

This is a very fine performance of this piece. Will hopefully be referenced as much as the other public entries like Amsterdam, Berlin, and Vienna

I heard Payare conduct this at Carnegie Hall with the Montréal Symphony on March 8th, 2023 and it was superb!

If you listen with headphones, you'll hear creepy breathing sounds throughout 😄 The playing is fantastic.
Yep, totally ruins it for me :(
One of the players is asthmatic. The miking is really close. Weird. I thought it was the conductor, but he's not near enough to a mike. One of the players who's not always playing.
Stellar performance by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. This is easily one of the best orchestral organizations in the world!
The horn section is incredible. Karl Pituch is outstanding as solo horn!
WOW...I just viewed this FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE and all I can say is WOW!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What a fine timpanist this orchestra has !!!
What an outstanding performance worthy of this roaring standing ovation, quite impressive indeed !!!!!

Mil gracias por compartirla. 🍀
So souverän habe ich das Solo am Beginn noch nie gehört!!👍
Trumpet player sounds awesome. Also Kim Kennedy is awesome!!!
One of the best performances of this symphony I've ever heard. Clear, transparent, and powerful. Payare knows how to use silences. Compare with Dohnanyi and the Cleveland Orchestra. And all of this without score.
The ending is powerful and Satisfying the way Mahler wanted it !!!!!
I agree with this so much

Rafael Payare! Viva Venezuela 🫶🏻🇻🇪👏🏻

Comparable to any record available. Great brass!
Wow, just wow . . .
The Conductor looks like Mahler with an afro. Hahahahaha
Amazing performance!
Theatre Feller all kidding aside, yes, he does bear a resemblance to the great composer
es ist kraftig
Bravo !!! 👏🏼

44:19 By the looks of it, seems to be Rafael's grunting...!!
Bravo from Tokyo
Payare humming is very distracting.
I want a more aggressive version
Favorite part 46:36
シノーポリ？？
ラファエル パヤーレです
Outstanding rendition of Mahler's fifth Symphony!!!
