This is probably my favorite Mahler symphony! It is extremely well written from a musical and orchestral perspective, while still giving the most amount of emotion humanly possible. This is really the piece that changes you everytime you hear it, and I mean every time. This piece just never gets boring, it is always emotionally draining.

Different composers tried to accomplish very different things with their music. Mahler tried, and was very good at, capturing a big part of the human experience. You could hear that all in this symphony: tragedy, excitement, innocence, hope, longing - heavy concepts that are part of being human. And I would say this insane emotional range and depth is what makes the journey through this symphony so thrilling and fascinating.

Bernstein was rehearsing this symphony - I think it WAS Vienna in the 1970s - and he couldn't get the orchestra to play the opening march the way he wanted. Finally, he shouted out, "No! No! No! No! It's too nice! It's supposed to sound like the Wehrmacht marching through the gates of Vienna!" The Viennese orchestra supposedly looked at each other dumbfounded, wondering why this Jewish conductor was invoking the unified and updated German army and the beginning of World War II !

In my opinion, the final movement of the 6th is one of the best single movements Mahler ever wrote, and as good as any symphonic movement. The feeling of trying so desperately hard and beginning to make headway and become optimistic, only to be smacked down by life again and again, with each blow beyond your control and more fatal than the last, is something we can all relate to. The bittersweet feelings of hope throughout the movement only make the inevitable and undeserved knockout punches of fate the more painful.

One of your best videos! For one of the best symphonies in history! Yes, Mahler works on a very high level of the mind, it's philosophical, not just emotions for the sake of emotions but to transcend them. The 6th tells a sad story but I've always felt relieved, somehow, and drained, after the last movement. But the third movement is maybe my favorite piece of music of all time, it's just so, so deep and when you think it's already this sublime song, it becomes epic and the ultimate consolation. That's why it matches so well with the theme of your video.

If you ask me listening to this music at midnight, when you are all alone with your own thoughts and feelings is the best one can do. It's like you knew that it would fit. It's not the Mahler Symphony I return to most often, but it means something, everytime I do. Recently I started to play/practice it in a piano solo version. That is emotionally exhausting to play. The first movement is physically difficult to get through, because of the technical demands. The Scherzo puts you into a very dark place where the Andante needs to get you out of. And the Finale is a journey by which end you feel so drained and wonder how you managed to keep your focus on the keys for the entire time. But all in a good way. And give yourself some credit. Your knowledge about classical music may be not as big as others, but you are on the journey to get there. You listen, you enjoy, you are curious. Give it time and you'll eventually become an expert. You are already on the path.

It's in my opinion, the best there is. None other grips you like it. (Even though Bernstein takes a very specific liberty with it in the finale after the 2nd Hammer that I don't agree with. As the music tumbles towards the climax and then goes back into the music of the introduction once again at the end of the development Mahler writes "Vorwärts!" which means "keep going faster". Bernstein does the opposite and slows down. It sounds strong, but it is not what Mahler wanted. And he reiniserts the 3rd Hammerblow, which Mahler ommited. But in the wrong place. It belongs on the next forte chord after he inserts it here.) Upon listening to it here again I can't help but feel that only Mahler really knew how to utilize an orchestra. The sounds he gets out of the combinations it gives him, it's like all others are just going the safer route, while he is venturing so far ahed in the colour palete. It's so amazing. Other music sounds outright monchrome compared to this explosion of colours.

Mahler was stung by the rejection, but evidently got over it later, since he conducted Liszt compositions in concert a number of times in his career. (Of course, since Liszt died in 1886, there was little point in holding a grudge.)

Personally, I think it's cool that Bernstein was acquainted with Mahler's widow Alma, whom Mahler married a few years before writing this piece, and was probably more connected to him than anyone alive at the time of this recording. This piece was conducted in the Musikverein, where this performance was recorded, by Mahler himself at least once. Also, I must say: since you live in Germany (I believe), you have a baker's dozen of great professional orchestras to choose from, you should definitely go to a concert some time.

Mahler conducted only one performance of the 6th in Vienna, on January 4, 1907. It was the last of the three performances of the 6th he conducted. The others were in Essen on May 26, 1906 and Munich on November 8, 1906.

He will eventually. If he goes back to the regular schedule he has the 7th and "Das Lied von der Erde" to listen to first. He already did the 8th out of his listening order. Or maybe he can take a little break after the 7th and listen to Mahler's songs first before going to the final symphonies. He loves music with singing and he understands German, so they will be right up his alley.
