“Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n wirst du.” Wat een prachtige uitvoering van de tweede symfonie van Mahler door het Budapest Festival Orchestra o.l.v. Iván Fischer. Ik wil er in geloven!

Excerpt of a letter from Anton Bruckner to Gustav Mahler which Mahler received on 7th April 1893. Bruckner thanks Mahler for his Good Friday performance of the Te Deum and Mass in D minor, and also thanks him for his support against critics.

#MahlerToday "Very noble loyal friend. From my whole heart, I thank you for your bold endurance and the hero’s courage towards my work. Surrounded by a cruel public, bad critiques which may understand my works only after decades…”

"...Did Mr. Mahler go too far in making the climaxes, especially in the last movement, truly Wagnerian? Not in the least. There is every reason to hold that, and that is the way the poor deaf Beethoven heard them in his mind."

"...a wealth of passion, beauty, and dramatic power that helps one to understand how Wagner could write of the 'tears and frantic sobs' in which he indulged when studying the score of the ninth symphony..."

According to Henry Finck, musical editor of the New York Post, the corridors of THE Carnegie Hall echoed with shouts of 'Magnificent!', 'Wasn't this colossal?', and 'Greatest thing I ever heard!'

Mahler Foundation @mahlerfoundation.bsky.social · Apr 6

#MahlerToday To acquaint Mahler with “his” new orchestra (THE New York Phil), in March-April 1909, two “festival” concerts were arranged (by Henry Wolfsohn).

The second concert, which took place on April 6th, included only Beethoven's Egmont Overture & 9th, Symphony.
