    The SINFONICA DE GALICIA loves to flirt with the Divine !!! Conductor, orchestra, concertmaster, all simply fantastic !!! And the audio by an extraordinary enginner, Pablo Barreiro, is always the BEST doing justice to the wonderful playing of these great musicians! This is Mahler how I've listened few, if any ,times ---- divine people !

    WOW! I have heard a lot of Mahler 6's over the last 40 years, but I have never heard one as good as this. Absolutely outstanding, perfect tempos, clarity, pacing, who needs the stodgy old Vienna or Berlin Philharmomic? This is the way Mahler should be played!
    And I don't mind saying this orchestra has more handsome man than seems humanly possible! What more could you want?

    Rhythmical performance of this magnificent and challenging symphony with colorful and perfectly synchronized sound of all the instruments. The explosive sound of the hammer is really impressive. The brilliant conductor leads the functional orchestra in a well-phrased tempo and with fully effective dynamics. Admirable!

    @luizamsalgado Před 3 lety +8

    I guess that when the musicians finished, giving everything they have and felt, they must be thinking: "That Was THE Night of Our Lives and We...Nailed It!". It looks that when an orchestra, with real affinity with Mahler plays his music this way, all the members and conductor simply get immersed in the world that Mahler created for us...And they finnish totally exausted, BUT HAPPY !

    Goodness, I thought I was listening to von Karajan & the BPO circa 1975 (about the time they began to perform the 4th, 5th and 6th symphonies in prep. for the recordings), the switching of the middle panels notwithstanding (prefer the traditional "wrong order" btw). So pleased to find another committed Mahlerian conductor and such a responsive orchestra...real pros that deserve more recognition, to be sure.

    It seems that Mahler used for this symphony every available resource available to an orchestra. In fact, there were not enough so he invented one more instrument: the hammer. As usual he described the new instrument with care and precision as he always did: there should be a hammer, large, made of wood that would strike another piece of wood that would be over a box also made of wood as a resonance box with some apertures to allow the sound to exit. The sound should be short, dry and very high sound. And there you have it. This symphony is called Tragic but it was called like that not by Mahler but by some unknown somebody else. The name stuck until today.

    • @bobroberts135
      @bobroberts135 Před 7 lety +8

      Mahler stipulated Andante-Scherzo to his publisher in the revised edition and played it that way until he died. It was Alma Mahler who changed the order. The symphony is too top heavy with turbulence and pounding with the order Scherzo-Andante. It's done the way Mahler wanted in this performance. Abbado also does it Andante-Scherzo, and so do many others.

    Maestro Slobodenious does not always follow Mahler's tempo markings. One glaring example is in the last movement where Mahler indicates 'Vorwarts, then 'Piu Mosso', then 'Unmerklich noch etwas drangender', and finally, suddenly, 'Molto Pesante, Tempo sehr anhaltend'. There is no forward motion, and then at 'Molto Pesante', Slobodeniouk maintains the same tempo. Of course, it is his prerogative to do this, but I think Mahler's indications make this passage much more successful. Furthermore, tempos in Mahler often 'make' the structure of the music. If they are not followed, the structure becomes unwieldy, a critique often made when Mahler's music was first heard. Also, I think Mahler's decision to switch the middle movements was correct. Having the last two movements in the same key makes the symphony bottom heavy. In addition, the first movement ends in a blaze of A Major. Having the Andante as the 2nd movement (E Flat Major) destroys the important key relationship between the A Major first movement and the A minor Scherzo, symbolizing a motto which re-occures throughout the symphony as an A major chord resolving to an A minor chord. One last item is the third hammer blow, which is removed in the last movement. All of these changes were re-considered by Mahler. It is interesting to hear his original concept now and again. But I think his revisions improve the symphony.

      Which performance(s) do you recommend?

      @Steven Moore True. There are conductors who still switch the inner movements of this symphony. I would recommend Abbado or Bernstein for adherence to Mahler's indications of tempo. In the case of Mahler and making his large structures coherent, it is crucial. (Mahler never used metronome markings.)

      @@muslit Mahler did use metronome markings at least in the first published versions of his early symphonies but removed them later. As far as the order of the middle movements: Mahler conceived and published the symphony with the Scherzo second, but never performed it that way because he felt the Scherzo was too similar to the first movement. It was his wife who said Mahler changed his mind and wanted the Scherzo played second, which I feel is the most convincing order. But we'll never know his final intentions. As for it being the conductor's prerogative to ignore the composer's tempo markings, I disagree: every performer has the duty to faithfully follow the composer's intentions. Far too many conductors take ridiculous liberties with Mahler's music. He was one of the greatest conductors of his time, so I think he knew what he wanted.

      @@remomazzetti8757 Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that Mahler used metronome markings in the first published version of the early symphonies. Do you know why Mahler removed them? I didn't mean that a conductor should ignore Mahler's tempo markings. But perhaps by removing the metronome markings, Mahler left some leeway as to tempo. Bernstein once told me that the secret to Mahler's forms was the classicism behind them, and that his tempos defined the form. He added that many people were dismayed at first by an apparent formlessness of some of his symphonies because conductors didn't shape the movements according to the various tempo indications. Just to cite an example: the first movement of the 7th. With the Boulez recording, there seems to be an apparent sameness to the general pacing, in spite of the various tempo indications. Bernstein's 2nd recording of it with the Phil. (I think) makes the form crystal clear by adhering to those tempo changes, making the movement seem shorter than it actually is. What precise speed Mahler intended the main allegro to be is unknown. But for me, if a performance takes into consideration Mahler's indications (within certain parameters) and makes the form intelligible, I'm all for it. As for the video in question, the performance, as far as the interpretation was concerned, lacked coherency precisely for this reason.

      Translation of this comment: this performance is different from the recording I listen to the most and therefore it’s wrong.

    It is so refreshing to see men playing the harp instead of all the fluttering and histrionics women harpist seem to engage in.

    Such a pity that the young woman in charge of the cowbells in the magical 'mountain vision' scene at 12.20 is so tentative with the bells- you can see she's hardly touching them so they are almost inaudible.
