This is truly a phenomenal performance! These are kids performing this, and their sound and musicality can easily compare to performances of some of the best orchestras in the world. Bravo!
I was there at this performance and it was a simply breathtaking performance. It was my first live performance of the Mahler 2 and hearing Maestro Zander's introduction certainly raises and augments the experience of the piece ten fold, this, plus hearing the organ of symphony Hall resounding at the end with the orchestra in a cosmic harmony was the culmination of the night, the culmination of the season, and ultimately an eschatalogical culmination of the beginning of eternity, it is not only like a black hole in the beginning, but a transformation into the sunglarity found in the centre of a black hole, transporting one to the singularity of the birth of an entire universe. A universe built entirely from an orchestral fabric, immersing the listener into the vast cosmic fabric of Mahler's sonorous universe. Thank you Maestro Zander!!!

The Boston is a shadow of its former significance. Under Leinsdorf it was unparalleled.

@@panossolo909 The vibrance of the Boston is a pale shadow of what itcwas under Erich von Leinsdorf and Michael Tilson-Thomas c. 1974--that's all I'm saying. Different era, a golden age actually with those guys plus Bernstein, Szell, Reiner, Monteaux, Ormandy, etc.
Holy smokes waht a wall of sound. Well done Maestro, well done orchestra.
My favourite symphony of all time. I think it is the most rapturous finale conceivable.
I heard his Mahler 2 on his tour in South Africa. Its a night I keep replaying in my head!
I absolutely love Benjamin Zander's inspiring introduction to the piece
No tengo palabras para describir la profunda experiencia de escuchar esta obra. Alguna vez en mi vida me gustaría poder estar allí.....
Professor Zander is a great teacher and man. At age 75 he gives me such enjoyment and confidence in the power of music.

May this world be rejoiced with the magical energy of this piece and the performance of each artist, but above all may the Maestro continue to infect countless beings with his talent, energy, and spirit. Thank you for filling our hearts with light and happiness. 👏🙏👏🙏👏🙏
Maestro Zander, you've done it again.
Fabulous introduction to this epic work. I learned so much in these few minutes. I wish I had attended his South African concerts!
What a symphony… 🎼🎵🎶
What an extraordinary experience, pure delight. Thank you for this beautiful performance.

I love Symphony Hall. My aunt took me there as a kid and I was taken by the architecture inside and once the music started I felt so much joy being there. Haven't been there in a while but this makes me want to go back.
Both soloists were amazing but the Soprano’s performance was on another level. Maria Brea, wow.
I think this is the finest combined performance with recording quality.

At least these you musicians andmaestro Zander did make my eyes shine...

Zander is the conductor we all needed but never knew we already had.
The way the video vibrates with the organ at the end (like at 1:32:04 ) is so cool!

Astonishing how many use a tablet instead of printed sheet music. I would always fear the possibility of it glitching out and then you have an entire desk without any notes to play.
The camera was literally shaking from the organ pedal stops....!

Why’s one of the horn players mostly tacit?
@petardundjerski2245

That’s the assistant to the first horn. An assistant usually plays in the tutti, giving the principal horn occasional and much needed reprieve before next solo.

Furthermore, Youth orchestras are often very much larger than Adult orchestras so that more youngsters get the opportunity to experience playing in an orchestra and playing these great works at a young age. They are there to provide for the established orchestras going forward.
Too bad its not the Boston of Leinsdorf.

Three reasons: (1) Mandatory social convention among faux liberals still obedient to the hivemind of adolescent peer pressure; (2) cuz Putin; (3) cuz Trump.😅
Too bad the soprano soloist screamed at the top of her voice.
Eight plus minutes of this pretentious old squeezebox as preamble! Eric Leinsdorf had more decency--and Mahlerian talent! The Boston, like Boston, really used to be something.😢
