The beautiful thing about watching Lenny was that he just left the world when he conducted Mahler. He was totally immersed - physically - in the music and he just hung it all out there for us mortals to see. His body gives listeners like me cues to listening. Even on the podium he was teaching without knowing it. He was definitely one of the greats. He did it all. Not many others can make that statement. A tremendous film, really. Thanks!

"And so we come to the final incredible page. And this page, I think, is the closest we have ever come, in any work of art, to experiencing the very act of dying, of giving it all up. The slowness of this page is terrifying: Adagissimo, he writes, the slowest possible musical direction; and then langsam (slow), ersterbend (dying-away), zögern (hesitating); and as if all those were not enough to indicate the near stoppage of time, he adds äusserst langsam (extremely slow) in the very last bars. It is terrifying, and paralyzing, as the strands of sound disintegrate. We hold on to them, hovering between hope and submission. And one by one, these spidery strands connecting us to life melt away, vanish from our fingers even as we hold them. We cling to them as they dematerialize; we are holding two -- then one. One, and suddenly none. For a petrifying moment there is only silence. Then again, a strand, a broken strand, two strands, one . . . none. We are 'half in love with easeful death . . . now more than ever seems it rich to die, to cease upon the midnight with no pain' . . . And in ceasing, we lose it all. But in letting go, we have gained everything." - Bernstein (on the finale of Mahler's Ninth Symphony)

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly - it’s the best advice ever given me. When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell. And of course, no theology, no metaphysics. Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage, not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered.” ― Aldous Huxley, Island

The end of an Age, yes. Innocence once lost can never be regained and yet what is it that remains? I would like to suggest that "we" some how are growing up. But then again, I'm a idealist. I've been wrong before. Sorry about that. And yes, I believe we cannot go backwards in order to find our way forward. What a master work this is. What a supreme work of realization and revelation. What an insight upon human nature. What dreams may come? The voice of Calliope and her sister speak... even more clearly in the Great Silences. Blessings on all of us dear Phil.

I can't state enough how awesome the 9th is. The fourth movement only takes 15 pages in the full score, mainly because the instrumentation is a bit scarce compared to the other movements (it starts all on strings) and the tempo is slower. Still an amazing 15 pages to study. I just love the alteration/modulation in the cellos/double bass in the main theme that comes back multiple times during the movement, it gets to me every time. 56:56

I was listening to this while working. Occasionally the music would fully register in my mind, but not often. It reached the final movement, and as the orchestra slowly built, faded, and died, it barely registered in my mind. It was there, it was moving, but I wasn't there. It was only in the cacophony of silence that followed that I realized that it was over, and that I had missed the very thing that I had originally come for. I had squandered beauty on business. The thing that I had wanted passed me by because I was careless, and only in its absence do I want it. For all the platitudes, it still feels more real than anything has in a long time.

I used to think the 3rd’s finale was better than the 9th’s but that was because I was very busy with school and listened to the 3rd’s finale when I had time. After re-listening to this finale when I had time, I became near speechless. It’s incredibly beautiful, almost like it was written with the pen of God. Now I think the 9th is better, and like you I was too busy doing stuff in order to fully take in the music. Satie was right about “furniture music”.

Excellence remains... and cannot be denied. Even unto the ends of time. Chopin's Nocturnes, Bach's Organ Works, Satie's Gymnopdies, and yes, this work by Gustav shall most likely outlast us all.

As does Brahms and Tchaikovsky as a music professor has demonstrated to me. Cannot find Brahms 2nd with Bernstein and Vienna posted anymore, but much discussion about a lonely soul. This and his (Mahler's) 1st are two of the most magnificent "soulful" pieces of music I can find, in my opinion. if a composer can touch our soul, then he/she has had success. Even if it is more than 100 years later! If only Mahler knew what we are sharing. I understand that one of Mahler's concerns was about music (his and other's) which might continue to live.

Celebration of life rather than contemplation of death? We know that tragedies struck him as they do with all of us, but his expressional output was music. I find many meanings of our moments of life in this piece. The third movement (to me) as allegro assai is more celebratory than funereal. I wish I could find the quote of a music professor sharing that Mahler and Brahms were standing on a bridge and it was Brahms who woefully asked if their music would endure time, to which Mahler said something to the effect of 'it is like the water, it will flow forever". Not all of life's events end in a major chord crescendo.

O grande Bernstein na profunda dramaticidade da 9ª Sinfonia , chamada "do Adeus", porque Mahler dizia que após um compositor realizar sua "Nona", morreria. Ele batizou a que seria sua verdadeira e belíssima Nona de "A canção da terra", segundo ele, para tentar "enganar o destino". E não concluiu a sua décima, concluída por Dereck Cooke, que na verdade seria a 11ª. Grande Gustav Mahler!!!

Very interesting seating position of string section. If I see this correctly, from left to right, Bernstein has 1st violins, 2nd violins, violoncellos and violas on the right most, with basses behind the violas. Anyone here has any background info on how this seating position came across? For example, Gergiev does 1st violins, violas, cellos and 2nd violins. There is no doubt who is the conductor that came the closest to what Mahler is, but just wondering if that is also something Mahler himself intended. Any info would be gladly appreciated!

Henry-Louis de La Grange's final volume of his Mahler biography pretty much dispels the myth of the dying Mahler writing his swansong about his impending death. Bernstein's philosophical and historical interpretation of the meaning of the music, what he said about it, is dated now in many ways, though his musical sense of the score and how he conducted it is unquestionably great and indelible. I recommend this book; it will reshape the way you hear, and think about, the Ninth.

You are absolutely right: Mahler was healthy physically and mentally when he composed the Ninth as well as the astonishing draft of his nearly 2000 measure Tenth, the entire 5 movements composed in a burst of creative vigor in July and August of 1910. And the glorious Finale of the Tenth is quite different from the bitter sweet ending of Das Lied von der Erde, and the heartbreaking Finale of the Ninth.

Stunning performance ! Maybe a tad too slow at the end. I don't know of any other artist that touches reaches such depths of emotion greater than Mahler.

+Vince Major The slowness of this page is terrifying: Adagissimo, he writes, the slowest possible musical direction; and then langsam (slow), ersterbend (dying-away), zögern (hesitating); and as if all those were not enough to indicate the near stoppage of time, he adds äusserst langsam (extremely slow) in the very last bars. It is terrifying, and paralyzing, as the strands of sound disintegrate....

Even this performance isn't the slowest it's been done. When Bernstein recorded this symphony with the Concertgebouw, it truly felt like he was trying to stop the world with music. You might or mightn't like it, but it definitely beats this performance for the slow prize.
