这是历史上最伟大的马勒现场之一。马勒的《第九交响曲》，D大调，作于1909-1910年，由布鲁诺·瓦尔特于1912年6月26日在维也纳指挥首演。在此曲之前的《大地之歌》，原应称为《第九交响曲》，因考虑到与第九有关连的作曲家的命运，才舍第九不用。作此曲时，马勒好像已安然超越了死亡，在第一乐章发展部也曾记有“呵，我消逝了的青春，我消费了的爱”，第三乐章开头记有“给在阿波罗的我的弟兄”，第四乐章结尾有“像死那样结束”。
第四乐章最后五分钟，马勒注释此结尾应“像死那样结束”，音乐在阿巴多的指挥下在最后如烟般缓缓消散。结束后观众席不约而同地（和乐团一起）陷入长达两分钟的寂静，然后掌声才逐渐响起。这是最感人至深的古典音乐现场演绎和观众反应之一。
