Mahler: Symphony No. 9; as conducted by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic.
Transcendental. That is the word I would use to describe both the symphony itself, and Karajan's interpretation with Berlin. It's been pretty typical that any piece of classical music that I listen to for the first time needs a few listens to really understand and 'get' the music. Not this one; it really struck me. It really feels like Mahler knew his end was coming soon and this feels like the result. Likewise; Karajan & Berlin just "get it." And this is a live recording; that makes it even more amazing.
