Enjoyed Maestro Salonen's conducting and glad to have the chance to see him in person, now that he is the music director of the San Francisco Symphony. I like the finale in this version of Mahler 3, with both timpanists each banging their drums with both of their mallets together for a grander effect. In other versions I've seen, each of the two timpanists use just one mallet at a time at the end.
It is written to be played with both mallets by both timpanists. The percussion sections of some orchestras lack the necessary skill level to play it cleanly as written. To be fair, it isn't easy and calls for excellent players to perform effectively.
I put this on in the background while studying, listening to it from the first time. And as a trombonist, WOW was I blown away by the playing at 10:00! Mad respect for that soloist. Edit: did some Googling and cross-referencing, and it seems that the trombonist there is named Byron Fulcher. Excellent playing!
I'm so grateful for music in my life. My children play: viola, cello, bass, piano, French horn, guitar, and hopefully soon to play: flute and piccolo. (I only have 4 kids.) But we LOVE music and this performance was truly beautiful and we need this kind of music in our lives. Thank you!
You are most welcome. Thank you so much for spending time with us this evening (or whatever time zone you may be joining us from!). We're so happy we could share this moment with everyone.
It took a while to perfect the offstage in rehearsal, but EP just let us do it, let it happen. That trust in us is indescribable. There in lies the magic with a conductor
I agree! So few conductors have the confidence to "let" music happen. Bernstein was prime example, but there are others. The good ones know when to get out of the way!
WOW! I usually don't really listen to classical music and prefer things like IDM or Ambient, but this peace has opened the gate for me. It is beyond complex and therefore highly interesting with all the perfect and warm tunes and atmospheres being created! Greetings from Switzerland!
Like Mahler's # 2, #5 the most! The Great composer of the 19th cross over the 20 century. His age really came! We enjoy his music very much now...what a journey! It took over a hundred years to truly appreciated his works! 💕💕💕🐦
Just a phenomenal intro for me to the Philharmonia. A life long Mahler lover , it has taken decades for me to connect with this longest of the Mahler symphonies. Thank you. Bird calls galore
Not just the musicianship, but the superb technical quality of the sound, makes this one of the clearest and most convincing performances of Mahler 3 I've ever heard. And I first heard Bernsteins', in 1963, as a kid!
The Philharmonic sound is one of the glories of our world! I have loved and admired you for the last 30 or so years. This is a truly sublime performance. Thank you! Can't wait to hear you live again! Best wishes.
@@susannahwight8810 I guess it ended before we saw the standing ovation. Audiences in the U.S. would be jumping out of their seats right away, I think.
I was about to make a comment about how beautiful the off stage posthorn solo was played so I checked the players lists at the end of video and saw it was Phil Cobb. I don't need to say anymore, his playing is top class.
Thanks Philharmonia for the sevice to music at this difficult time. I just donated a small amount, too small for this outstanding musicianship. Hope you weather this storm. Please stay strong!
What a wonderful performance! All my respect to the conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philarmonia Orchestra. Overwhelming, thanks for sharing to the world this marvelous concert!
Beautiful. . as always it have been. . . . Music is the best healer of the world, it tells more deeply than the words. . . It's truely what I need now, in this hard time. ..Just Love it. . thanks, Philharmonic orchestra! ! !
@@philharmonia_orchestra yes , music can only heal the deepest wound of heart , which can be never healed by anything.... Thanks again to gifting such a divine melody, philharmonic orchestra ! ! ! !
i don't know how i'm just stumbling on this, but the last movement for me is one of the most heavenly pieces of music ever and this performance absolutely NAILED it
From trombone player to Philharmonia principal trombone: your 3 solos are quite outstanding. Stunning rendition of Mahler's Third. Enhorabuena Orchestra!!
Bravo. Hearing the single male ecstatic yelp at the end, or should I say, almost BEFORE the music has ended, as one so often does from an English audience, reminds me of Sir Thomas Beecham's quip "the English aren't overly fond of music but they love the noise it makes."
It's a truly marvellous quip, I myself am almost totally without any understanding or education in music and have the "hoot & holler" virus. My favourite audience has always been that at Hilary Hahn's Violin Concerto by Beethoven with Slatkin and the DSO. Hahn cannot help her grin at the audience outburst at the end of the first movement. May good audiences always "hoot and holler". Music is for the people, not just an aging wealthy elite. I've heard voices in the background singing along at a Russian outdoor concert - it was the audience singing along to music from various operas, none in the Russian language. Music is truly the international language of peace.
Barletta Francesco Roma. Interpretazione della 3 di Mahler semplicemente fantastica della Philarmonia e di ESA Pecca Salonen. Poi l' assolo della tromba nel 3 movimento è sublime. Grazie grazie mille a tutti ma soprattutto a Mahler!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Watched this on 25/5/20. I was at the original ESP concert in 1983 (wasn't he a late substitute for that?); I remember being overwhelmed that a young conductor could come in late and bring off such a magisterial performance of this immense symphony. Today I am in tears. This is simply beautiful: a deeply moving, heartfelt performance, brim full of humanity. Thank you to all concerned for bringing this to us.
What wonderful memories, and how lucky for you to have been at the original 1983 concert. We're so happy to have been able to share this 2017 performance with you! Thank you for spending time with us.
A huge thank you to the Philharmonia for making this performance available and to all the players who joined in with the live chat during the evening. Yes these are dark days but the orchestra WILL survive and flourish and we will all join together to listen and share the greatest of music together. Bravo Philharmonia.
I've only ever liked the 1st of Mahler's symphonies but this broadcast has got me listening again to the 3rd so thank you Philharmonia orchestra for the upload. Magnificent playing from this legendary orchestra.
My introduction to Mahler is comical (from an old Tom Lehrer song) and was fascinated with his life, but his music (save for Symph 1 & 2) I just didn't get at all. - I didn't listen to all of it, esp. mvt. 3, but when I got to the final movement...omigosh. the most beautiful music I've ever heard...and the double timpanists at the end! Holy cow! Ironically @Sanfranben the recording was Zubin Mehta and LA Phil...not SF but close enough...(I miss MTT - what a wonderful teacher) Since then, the recording of Bernstein with NY Phil shortly before his death is my favorite. But this is really, really good. And now, I LOVE the post-horn solos in mvt. 3! Mahler 3 will ALWAYS be my favorite...but now, the whole thing. It's such a shame the Jewish thing came up in his lifetime. The same thing happened to the prolific film composer, Max Steiner. Mahler was a dictator of a conductor (although world-renown) but his race hampered him, as all Jews experienced. He converted to Catholicism so he could ascend the podium of the Vienna State Opera, his dream gig.. Hitler called Mahler's music "Jewish trash." Please. They have ears, yet cannot hear. If people could just keep politics out of it...Mahler, Klemperer, Walter, Mendelssohn...all geniuses. but this performance is sublime! Bravo, Maestro!
The (New) Philharmonia's recording of the Resurrection Symphony under Otto Klemperer was the first Mahler I ever heard when I was a kid, and it blew me away. Jakub Hrůša's amazing performance of the same piece at the Festival Hall in February was the last concert I attended before lockdown. I wish you'd been able to release your recording of Ligeti's Requiem; the performances at the Festival Hall and, especially, the Proms were incredible. Can't wait to see you guys again in real life.
And we can't wait to be back in the concert hall! Thank you so much for sharing these memories. We're thrilled to hear that you were at Jakub Hrůša's concert with us in February. Thank you for sticking with us digitally while we wait for the time we can be back in our concert halls in person.
C'est bien sûr une fort belle et touchante interprétation de la Troisième Symphonie du divin Mahler qui finit en apothéose. Comment pourrait-il en être autrement avec un orchestre de cette dimension sous la direction d'un tel chef ? Je crois qu'un tel chef d'œuvre vaut une écoute en direct pour que l'émotion passe au maximum. Je garde personnellement le souvenir intact de mon ressenti la première fois que je l'ai vécu en concert au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées en octobre 1973 : Orchestre national de l'ORTF dirigé par l'immense Jean Martinon.
Finally an interpretation of this Weltanschauung work to match that of Levine with the Chicago Symphony in 1976. Well balanced with a perfectly timed last movement.
"o, man, take heed, the world is deep, deeper than day can ever tell, grief says, go, begone, but joy, deep joy, wants all eternity" Nietzsche would've been in raptures over this setting of his night song. Poor nietzsche
Though I never met her & she sadly succumbed to MS, I believe my cousin Eleanor was once a flautist in the Philharmonia. I wish I had met her. We were so long out of touch I'm not even sure she's alive now. I don't think the 3rd is quite my favourite Mahler but it's near the top.
I want to ask: ¿what was that bass drum + two timpani nailing it at the finale? I'm not sure if it was written by Mahler himself (I mean, yes, the two timpani are ok but also the bass drum ? :O ) Anyways... excellent idea! It feels very powerful and dramatic.
@@philharmonia_orchestra But that's not true. The piece calls for two sets of timps playing (almost) in unison at the end and the bass drum isn't written so why add it? Indeed for the last 13 bars in the score the instruction is (translated from German) "not with raw power! Saturated noble tone". Adding the bass drum makes it far too heavy. Overall though - thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Especially Philip Cobb on the off-stage flugel horn - masterfully played and the outstanding trombone solo.
@@stevemoulton315 Indeed their are two timpani parts, but the bass drum has been added by Mr Salonen. Mahler, being one of the great orchestrators, doesn't generally require enhancing ( !) but I have to say, as a lover of this work since my teens and also as a former student of orchestration... I find it thrilling.
He has just said in the live chat that Andy Smith is famous for making these Premier Elite timpani "sound great, with a wide variety of colours and dynamic range."
You should be able to replay the comments. On desktop, look at the top righthand side of the screen when you're on the video page. There should be a "show chat replay" box.

This is indeed a magnificent performance of this majestic symphony! Congratulations to all who part participated. May I please make a plea to you not to add banners, such as the one across the top of the video after the performance, in the most appallingly sloppy American slang. The banner reads "Please stick around...". Such American expressions have their place, but not - may I suggest - on a video uploaded by a high-class organisation such as the Philharmonia. Something more dignified, such as: "Please stay..." would add some dignity. Thank you.
Mahler s Third ist simply extraordinaty and great. But I don t Like this performance for different reasons. There are much better concerts performing the Third than this😢

Symphony , Mahler , three , is very , very , very beautiful ❤
In my opinion, this is the most beautiful symphony ever written!
Very much agree, Tommaso
Beethoven's Ninth? Mahler's Ninth?
Bruckner's 8th is on an equal footing. Both works are miraculous
Gateway to heaven. Sermon on the mount in music.
Ich liebe Mahler, aber auch Beethoven und Schumann.
Ihr seit total klasse, Respekt
I put this on in the background while studying, listening to it from the first time. And as a trombonist, WOW was I blown away by the playing at 10:00! Mad respect for that soloist.
Edit: did some Googling and cross-referencing, and it seems that the trombonist there is named Byron Fulcher. Excellent playing!
I'm so grateful for music in my life. My children play: viola, cello, bass, piano, French horn, guitar, and hopefully soon to play: flute and piccolo. (I only have 4 kids.) But we LOVE music and this performance was truly beautiful and we need this kind of music in our lives. Thank you!

I agree! So few conductors have the confidence to "let" music happen. Bernstein was prime example, but there are others. The good ones know when to get out of the way!
I was lucky enough to be at this concert - it packed a real punch in the RFH and even in my front room it is just stunning playing
WOW! I usually don't really listen to classical music and prefer things like IDM or Ambient, but this peace has opened the gate for me. It is beyond complex and therefore highly interesting with all the perfect and warm tunes and atmospheres being created!
Greetings from Switzerland!
Awesome. Thanks for spending time with us!

Alright, I admit it, from 1:39:00 to the end I was joining in with the timpani, hammering on my desk till it nearly fell over! 😂 Bit embarrassed now🙄

why cant we see the trumpets for like 99% of the recording? they shy?
I'm curious what is the circular object or device right in front of the conductor
It appears to be a 360° video camera.

Mahler s Third ist simply extraordinaty and great. But I don t Like this performance for different reasons. There are much better concerts performing the Third than this😢
Salonen was music director of the LA Phil for 17 years - 17 wasted years. Sorry to hear that SFSO is now lumbered with him.
Were I a musician of orchestral skill, which I am not, I should love to ply my trade 'neath the baton of Maestro Salonen.
