When you mention Symphony No 5, there’s one particular Symphony No 5 that overshadows all other symphonies numbered 5 !

The fourth movement from #5 has its fans, but movement five from #2 is truly moving.

This piece was used at Bobby Kennedy's funeral in 1968.
It's in D-flat, and one of the most amazing moments is at the end when Mahler takes an eternity to resolve that last chord into D-flat. Then we're off (attacca) into the finale in D Major.

Ravel could have body slammed Mahler any day of the week. And Brahms could have whipped them both together with his left pinky. But nobody messes with JS Bach.

Debussy, Dvorak, and Holst say hey.

Truly exquisite! Mahler has always been a favorite. I don’t have it on U-tube but if you want another piece that will squeeze your heart until tears flow, Check out “Rhapsody Pathetique for Violin and Orchestra” by Richard Nanes, a modern composer.

Mahler’s First is more fun.
