The first time I heard Adagietto was when I was "acquainted" with Mahler, the greatest Austrian composer and the most prominent opera and symphony conductor. It was a long, long time ago... Mahler's late symphonies are often called great, but Simphony N 5 very well expressed his quality, which is present in all the music he wrote - a certain constant sense of crisis, of being at a crossroads. While working on the Symphoniy, Mahler met Alma Schindler, who later became his wife Alma Mahler. And Adagietto, dedicated to Alma, later became (both today and forever!) - his most famous music. Adagietto for me is the most elegiac and beautiful work. (And this despite the fact that I am not a random person in Music.) When I listen to Adagietto, I understand that IT is nothing more than Mahler's declaration of love to Alma, the amazing Muse of Creators, the inspirer of Giniuses, the Woman of fiesh of Art! Luchino Visconti and John Neumeier contributed to Adagietto's explosive fame. (But that's a completely different story...) I stop myself, because I can talk and write "kilometers" about Mahler, Alma, Symphony N 5 and my beloved Adagietto. Congratulations and gratitude to Conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the Orchestra! 🙏❤

Seems like Dudamel understands this needs a slower tempo. It makes this rendition absolutely beautiful. Among my top 3 favorites.
respiration profonde, l'air et l'eau se mêlent ... avec langueur Merci à vous Gustavo pour cette magnifique interprétation
Somptueux !!!
La mejor arpista que escuché en este Adagietto de Mahler. Maravillosa¡¡¡ The best harpist I heard in this Malher Adagietto. Wonderful¡¡¡
Es realmente hermosa y como toca es inigualable, también es la mejor que he escuchado
Maravillosa musicalidad. lastima que el audio no esté sincronizado con la imagen
Used in the film "Death in Venice".
Mahler a écrit son adagietto pour que Gustavo le dirige !
O áudio está sincronizado com a imagem. Sempre o maestro marca o tempo um pouco a frente.
9:08 of course somebody has to cough
It wasn't me, I swear!
