One of the best Mahler 7ths ever recorded!

Stunning. Absolutely one of the best performances of Mahler VII I've ever heard.

has to be mahler's most underrated work

Superb performance.

The name of Gielen must be added to those of Walter, Klemperer, Horenstein, Kubelik, Bernstein, and Mitropoulos as one of the supreme conductors of Mahler; this is the best Seventh I've heard.

For this most harmonically forward looking of Mahler's symphonies, I would add Rosbaud and Boulez, but there are several others. I always thought Dohnanyi would've done a good one but I couldn't find one.

It's blasphemous you left out Abbado

I guess Gielen is or was one of the most underrated conductors of this Centuries, either in 20th Century music or the classics. Most of the time they come only to live when they are dead......

How fortunate for those present there at that concert..

Impresionante interpretación.

Mahler - Gielen ..... a Revelation

Admirable clarity and precision in this recording, with the woodwind featured well. Good interpretation. I am grateful that he did not take the final bars of the first movement at a breakneck gallop.

演奏も録音も素晴らしい！ ギーレンはクレンペラーを尊敬していたそうだ。 凄い動画ありがとうございます😊 けっきょくＣＤ買いました

Gielen makes the best use of BPO, and BPO helps perfectly Gielen for realizing his interpretation of Mahler's seventh. This is a good example that a great orchestra makes the best result for a really great conductor having an appropriate understanding.

quite a unique reading of the 7th...

Ps: I ordered the CD straight after I finished listening. I only saw Gielen once in concert, some Beethoven with Alfred Brendel and a Mozart Mass. Outstanding conductor.

That's great!

Truly amazing. What a bizarre pipe dream of a piece this is. It somehow conveys the fin de sieckle zeitgiest better than his other works. A must have recording!

Klemperer, Gielen, Sinopoli: best in class to me.

11:18 this development section is amazingly slow. Maybe unique in recorded history. Kubelik/NYPO comes to mind as equally slow.

My Shinichiro night music still goes on for happy E minor end

At 1:02:30 we hear a perfectly played timpani solo

Una auténtica maravilla. Con la versión de Klemperer, son las dos más grandes y muy contratadas.

Una maravilla de dirección. Genial. Única.

Alternativa a la versión de Otto Klemperer.

Finds the work’s sinuous nature and poise and phrase, and keeps up a breeze plus clarity and hence constant contrapuntal interest; Gielen however isn’t a man of weight and power with his conception and reins loose, providing less than top tier Mahler. The light grip, determination to downplay darker emotions and trying to change the experience provides some weak and pointless results, becoming silly as the work goes on and bringing me close to quitting. Abbado has the deeper authority, colours and inwardness and Bernstein the clearer structure.

Well, rather agree with Gielen characterisation However do not like either Abbado or Bernstein in this symphony at all. My No.1s are Tilson Thomas with LSO, such a juicy performance; Jascha Horenstein, whos phrasing is something special; and finally Maderna and Scherchen whos are from the loopy camp :) And also Kondrashin with Leningrad Orchestra -- a reference recording as for me.
