1:27:48. The first violinist, 2nd desk, breaks out in tears. Mahler has a way of doing that to musicians.

If I were a musician playing this great masterpiece, I would cry like a baby. I know many stories about how this symphony has changed lives.

An astonishing accomplishment for any orchestra, let alone a youth orchestra. Zander is such a wonderful mentor. A treasure.

one of the greatest conductors of our time

Fantastic performance!! I deeply admire Mr Zander for being faithful to Mahler, even if it means the percussion and horn players keep going up and down those stairs and playing in the corridors! Not to mention the epic entrance at 1:24:34 :)

Movement 1 - 1:29 Movement 2 - 24:54 Movement 3 - 34:42 Movement 4 - 46:11 Movement 5 - 51:03 Applause - 1:27:46

Absolutely epic! Completely epic! Mahleresque in its highest possible expression! The greatness... the care... the attention.. it cannot ever be expressed in words... gratitude without end, to the Maestro of All Gods, the greatest, the most Sublime, the Infinite -- Gustav Mahler, our modern world's greatest Saint and Sage and Seer

Just wanted to send my love and appreciation to Maestro Zander and the musicians he conducted for this wonderful performance.

A fan from South Africa, wow

This is quite amazing for a youth orchestra.

Really this is a stunning rendition of Mahler's Resurrection!!!

Fantastic. This is how the opening should be. "Vild" and violent. This is the best recording of the opening that I can find. Nice job low strings!!!!

Mahler did not ever provide metronome markings. However, he did provide durations. For the 2nd Symphony it was well known to be 2 hours at the first performance, a few minutes longer than the first performance of the Gothic Symphony of Havergal Brian of 1928, and the first performance of Beethoven's Choral Symphony in 1824, both known to be 114 minutes long.

58:25 The Brass chorale!

my heart is full.

What an outstanding performance. Thank you so much for this!

This is a glorious performance in its own right (with some strange tempo choices in Urlicht), the fact that this was done by a youth orchestra makes it all the more impressive.

Wow, ihr seit toll. Danke für Leistung, Danke an die Musiker und Dirigenten und natürlich an Gustav Mahler. Gruß aus Ratingen ( Germany)

Mi sinfonía favorita de Mahler. Gracias.

The ending is pretty cool, I liked it🙈

Amazing!

Awesome! ❤

BRAVO

...what a wonderful classy audience.....

There seems to be quite substantial stop (with editing cut) between first and second movement, did Ben Zander actually had 5 mins stop in between? which was what Mahler wanted but few conductors actually followed. Imagine a 5 minutes stop, even 1 minute stops feel like 'forever' under such intensity ....

when was the brass chorale again. that was my favorite part, aside from near the end of the first movement

Bravo. Urlicht - 46:13 made my day, so good. And raising up the French horns 1:25:59, Mahler no doubt included that in the score (given Zander's dedication to composer's intent)? Anybody know?

It seems Boston Philharmonic could learn a great deal from Wiener or Berliner Philharmoniker about recording i. e. filming, specially of such a grand-scale monumental pieces! This state of confusion and wonder is disappointing!

How many camera's do you think they could afford....and how much it cost to film in the Concertgebouw.....be glad there is a video....

First, a splendid performance, utterly true to the composer’s intentions. But who would agree that Mahler has every talent of a great composer except the ability to write an original theme. His thematic material is actually quite trite, although he makes magnificent use of it.

I wonder why Asians overwhelmingly prefer and excel at the stringed instruments, while whites typically are the majority of the brass and woodwinds. I’m sure it’s just an accident of cultural preferences, but it’s nonetheless interesting to me. Great performance so far.
