I have modified the link. It works directly now.

I like how it is filmed. You are really 'in' the performance.

The conductor is Tugan Sokhiev .

Folks, please do take a look at this.
It's outstandingly well-filmed and well-performed.

The soloists (Anastasia Kalagina, sop. and Janina Baechele, m-s) are both superb and the choir and orchestra match this excellence, led by a precise conductor.

For those like me, who enjoy SEEING the performance as well as hearing it, this filmed concert is a treat, with very well-done close-ups of musicians without a disruptive affect on the listener's appreciation for the work.

Really, if you love M2, you simply MUST see and hear this.

Here are the steps I used:

1.  Google  Medici TV;   go there  and register your email and a password

2.  Use the search box at the top right to search for  Sokhiev: Mahler 2

3.  Scan down to "Live Performances" and look for Sokhiev's Mahler 2

4.  Sit back and enjoy the most amazing M2 you've seen and heard in years!

Really, it's worth the small effort to locate this performance.

So, please--RIGHT NOW!  go and watch this M2 while you have a chance!

As some of you may remember John Adams (William Daniels) saying in the musical, "1776":

"Is anybody there?    Does anybody care?"

This M2 by Sokhiev is so well-done and wonderfully photographed that, if you've ever loved M2, you absolutely owe it to yourself to see this NOW, while you still have the opportunity!

Again, here's how I did it:

1. Google Medici Tv

2.   Register:  enter your email address and choose a password

3.  Log on to Medici.TV

4.  Click LIVE

5.  Click  Orchestre National du Capitole

6.  Click  Sokhiev: M2

Really, this is absolutely among the very best M2s you'll ever see!

Don't miss this opportunity!

I have seen/heard the performance several times. It has weight and breath. The last movement is phenomenal. Outstanding choir (orfeo Donostiarra).
