Please note: there are over 50 pages of preliminary sketches that aided Cooke in filling in some of the missing harmony and counterpoint, especially in the second movement. Naturally, these sketch pages can not be shown in a continuous video. There's far less that had to be composed to fill the less fully textured portions of this great symphony than might be supposed.

I’m a Mahler fan, one might say, though i cannot read notes, or play an instrument, nor do i know anything about composing, but i know what i like. I fell in love with Mahler’s music ever since i first heard it in that Italian film (no explanation needed, i presume), and wanted to hear everything he made. I wouldn’t be able to tell if this version is the best. What i can say is that it sounds and feels profoundly Mahlerian to me. I can sympathize with great Mahler interpreters such as Bernstein, who had reasonable arguments as to why he did not want to perform the 10th (except the Adagio), but ultimately it would have been a shame and borderline criminal to deprive humanity of this wonderful work.

57:37 ff. has the most beautiful flute passage on earth - actually not from earth but from heaven !! And to listen to this with the original handwriting - what a gift !!!

A Mahler Symphony Cycle with score! A KZfaq treasure! Thank you so much!!

This video shows as clearly as humanly possible how epoch-making Cooke's achievement - and how tragic the genesis of Mahler's score was!

The great outburst in the first and last movements always make me think of Munch's "The Scream".

This is one of those symphonies that takes you a few times to appreciate. The first time I listened to it, I liked it, but didn't think it was Mahler's best. Now, after listening to it many times, I think it is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, or rather, partially written.

I. 0:00:00 II. 0:26:09 III. 0:38:02 IV. 0:42:12 V. 0:55:07 Cooke's newest, 3rd Edition!!! Thank you for upload.

There is so much more present in these sketches than some detractors would have you believe, and needs no added detail to fully work (and foolishly applied in some realizations), as has been frequently claimed. A true Mahler expert, such as Deryck Cooke, needed far fewer "deductions" than have been accorded him for his wonderful work in bringing this symphony to a performable edition-and surely, judging by the sound of it, it's infinitely closer to Mahler's vision than often has been allowed. 100% viable as a concert work by Mahler-in fact, could it be his greatest symphony?

I love that you posted the Bernstein version of the first movement as I feel it's the best one, and then Cooke did a wonderful job with his efforts to complete the symphony.

I had the honor of playing this piece. It took a listen after the concert for me to really appreciate how well written this piece is.

Thanks so much for posting all 10 of the symphonies. Now I can study each score on my TV while I am listening to it. Amazing job

37:15 ....... these tiny marks of ink on a small piece of paper for the most magical moment of the history of german symphonies ....

18:25 - Wow! Still working my through this - maybe my sixth or seventh listen. Probably his least approachable work, but tremendously powerful.

Thank you very very much for posting!!! I especially like this piece more than any works ever written I know.

thank you so much, the handwritten score is so beautiful!

I have the Faber edition of this score in my posession. I'm so glad that I have it. It is excellent because you can actually read comparatively between what was written in the draft and then see what Cooke added.

The first movement conducted by Bernstein is NOT the Krenek version, but the Mahler International Society version of the facimile of Mahler's first movement orchestral draft - the only version Bernstein would perform, and the only movement of the tenth he ever conducted.

17:38 The gates of hell slowly opening, exposing us how the world burns in Armageddon.

Famous large chords (up to 9 different pitches of the chromatic scale) from 18'18"

1:08:50 - The beginning of Mahler's Requiem. The music of death...

Cela aurait été désolant de nous priver des éclairs de beauté de cette symphonie, y compris du thème aux flûtes prodigieux du finale (57. 30 Einleitung/ Introduction ===> la même sorte d'éternité semi-désespérée que la fin de Das Lied von der Erde... Un sommet déchirant de la mystique musicale) pour des querelles de puristes... D. Cooke a fait un fameux travail qui mérite une reconnaissance absolue, unanime. Du reste, c'est du ahler qu'on entend, indubitablement et c'est d'autant plus fascinant... "Pour toi vivre Pour toi mourir" splendeur inimitable...

I have Mahlers unfinished and love it,the completion breathes of Mahler, l'm sure the Maestro would agree, Bless you Mahler.

Merci infiniment pour cette video, les éditions du facsimilé sont inaccessibles et cette video est un trésor ! Merci de faciliter l’accès à cette oeuvre intime et puissante

From 1:10:10 is the beginning of death and a new life is reborn...

Thank you , thank you , for this publication . Thirty years ago I bought for myself this fac-simile of the original handwritten score . I was completely upset for weeks . The music + the words of Mahler on the paper ...... this is unbearable .

Toccante.. spulciare tra le note e le ultime parole del maestro è davvero toccante..

Saddest symphony that Mahler composed ever.

Mahler wrote word to his wife give us pitiful,pathetic and to be impressed. This footage trying plan to show us handwritten score and to listen real sound us same moment,this is very wonderful!

Millionen Likes !!! schön, schön!!! es macht mich verrückt!!!!

Fantastisch: wie hingeworfen!

T H E G E N I U S !

17:38 is when shit really starts happening.

It's entertaining to see the author scribble out phrases in frustration. Also, is this original urtext? It looks a bit on the modern side. Edit: Didn't bother to check the comments, I got my answer.

Amazing.

7:29 Epic

7:29 the gates of hell opening

Purgatorio could have been an amazing movement

24:58 Première musique spectrale ?

I like Michael Gielen's version in 5th movement, because the finale has D minor to F# major

Violins 14:43

Just sticking with the 3 Cooke versions, what are the fundamental differences between version nos. 1, 2 and 3?

18:21

Would you know where one could acquire a copy of the handwritten score (if such a beautiful item is available)? Thank you for posting this marvelous video.

1:02:20 - 1:02:30 that gave me Symphony no. 6 vibes 😮

Why timpanis burst into surprising effect and tubas having scales too?

4:37

If Mahler came back to life, he would laugh and say, who is this trying to copy my orchestration!!

It's unfinished and it's got over one hour? Jesus..

Is it not possible to get rid of that idiotic title "song"? They're not "songs".

Ernst Krenek

40:25 o gott!!

少有的!

how do you manage to pick the worst recording for cooke 3? riccardo chailly's version is superior

The second movement sounds so much like the soundtrack to the Harry Potter movies

Wow what a cheaply made knock-off of Scriabin is my dog's Symphony No.1, "Vehement" ! Nice try.

Warning KZfaq ... I will eliminate your sponsers. Do you understand me?
