The major theme is also known as the Alma (his wife and later muse of artistic Vienna) theme. On a musical level the admiration for the Wagnerian principles of endless melodies is incorporated in a brilliant fashion. Much like the Tristan und Isolde opera where only at the last instance the melody is brought home.
This specific recording performed by the Chicago Symphony orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado is very nice and slow. Other performances sometimes play it quite fast (Andante) but Mr Abbado manages to
pace it to almost an Adagio which suites this piece slightly better.

This recording was my first exposure to Mahler's music and it opened up a whole new world for me. I remember reading a review of it in Gramophone just after its release and the critic mentioned that Karajan's way with this movement in particular was "a revelation". I couldn't agree more and after all these years I have yet to hear it bettered. Simply incredible...

Karajan's Mahler is indeed unsurpassed - if only he had recorded the full Mahler cycle. This performance of this movement is unmatched in its intensity at the climax. It gets me every time.

Generally I don't usually find video accompaniments with serious music desirable but in this case whoever uploaded this one did a fine piece of work to capture Mahler's expressive allusions with this movement of the 6th. The upper meadows with the cows is especially insightful to the offstage cowbells. Good job.
And indeed I've always found von Karajan's reading of the 6th to be a quentessential one.

Mahler's music is GENIUS!

La gran capacidad expresiva de Mahler irradia una luz mágica en todos sus adagios...Cada cual siente a su manera lo que nos dice, pero lo sentimos...

Takes your breath away, moving and very convincing performance. One of my favorite pieces of music and favorite performances of all time. The other version of this movement I like is Haitink leading the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the recording from the sixties. Very different interpretation, faster tempos but just as valid and beautiful.
Karajan here is so simple and profound in a real way. They just don't do it like this any more. Thanks for posting this--I listen to it at work.

How true it is that...Von Karajan's Mahler does remain unsurpassed; that not even Bernstein could equal it....and we know that he was no slouch, particularly when it came to Mahler...But with this particular movement, which is always my favorite...this one does remain without peer....Thank You!!.....
Leonard Voinea
I think that is the moust beautiful adagio,adante, part, of all symphonyes ever made !!!
Andrew Rudin
I'm not generally a big fan of Karajan, but.... I must admit that his SIXTH is my favorite.

The transition at 00:26 is beyond this world...
