yes, normally today it runs about eleven minutes when wrong-headed conductors turn it into a LARGO; Mahler was careful to call it A LITTLE ADAGIO (ADAGIETTO), and both Bruno Walter and Willem Mengelberg bring it in at close to eight minutes. Bruno Walter knew Mahler well, and Mengelberg's recording is from 1926 ( closer to Mahler's time. )

I heard this symphony in Germany conducted by Daniel Barenboim and it was great. But for me, the best version is the one by Simon Rattle with the Berlin Philarmonic orchestra. OMG, what a genius mahler was.

Well stated. Someone I know just lost his young son to cancer, so I sent him a different link to this music (more complete). It is my prayer that he finds it to be more than merely pensive and plaintive, but also cathartic and "transformative."

forgive me if i'm mistaken, but did they take out the entire first half of this piece? I love this piece, but I think that the beginning of this one has a similar start, but it actually occurs way later on in the piece. Unless they just cut it out during their performance, but I don't think they should have. haha sorry for the ramble :p

Mahler knows how to make the music billow and he pierces the heart as he does it. But then in the Symphony #2 he transforms the soul. His music is not merely beautiful, though beauty is, in the end, the most important element of music, but that it is transformative through its' devastating beauty is what matters most to me.

there is nothing and nothing and nobody in this world nor in the whole universe that can convey so much peace and reflection as this music, when I always misbehaves or impulsive things I hear this song and I was going around that I have anger and momentum for So I say there's nothing better than Symphony No. 5

I don't know the place, the picture is from someone, I can't remember who. I would be happy myself to use some of my photos from my own travels, but alas, I haven't done any scenic traveling for quite awhile now. In some time I though I would hope to find this place.
