I totally hear you. And Titan is probably my second favorite of Mahler's symphonies. Nothing compares or will ever compare with the last movement of the Resurrection though. So fucking incredible.myownsatellite wrote:I love Titan better, but agreed. Mahler is the best composer ever to live.
He's my hero.
And if he wasn't dead, I'd so hit that.

Yeah I've seen 1, 2 (twice!), and 7 live, and I think I'll be seeing 5 next year.myownsatellite wrote:I saw Titan performed while I was in college - I was almost in tears it was so fucking beautiful.pit_girl1 wrote:I totally hear you.

Seriously, the man is my hero. I wrote a 20 page thesis paper on him in my senior year of high school. And got an A on it.
That is so awesome. I used to play viola, and we played MVMT 2 of Titan once, and it just started my obsessionpit_girl1 wrote:Yeah I've seen 1, 2 (twice!), and 7 live, and I think I'll be seeing 5 next year.myownsatellite wrote:I saw Titan performed while I was in college - I was almost in tears it was so fucking beautiful.pit_girl1 wrote: I totally hear you.

I used to play horn so my favorite part of the Titan is definitely the duet at the beginning. I also love the Frere Jacques-esque movement.
The Yale School of Music's orchestra and our Yale Glee Club did 2 this past fall, and they had the choir up on each side of the balcony, and I was sitting right in the middle so at the end there were just massive waves of sound coming from 3 sides. I can't put that feeling into words. Basically I feel like the last 10 minutes or so of the last movement of the Resurrection is what Heaven would sound like if you could put it into music.
