5.0 out of 5 stars Experience this Mahler 5 18 Mar 2011
By Charles Eccles
Format:Blu-ray
It almost goes without saying that Abbado and the Lucerne Orchestra give a superb performance. You won't be disappointed. The surround sound too is exceptionally vivid, with the force of the fortissimo near the start of the first movement almost hitting you like a shock wave. Soloists are perhaps slightly less "highlighted" than in previous issues but the overall sound is very natural and impressive. Recommended - without reservation.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTION 9 Mar 2011
By N.Y.
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received my copy two days ago and already have watched it twice. Frankly, it is quite boring to review Abbado's Mahler symphonies, nothing to complain about. The picture and sound are perfect and the performance of-course. I would say that the picture quality is similar to the third symphony and the performance and sound quality are better than his CD from many years ago. You will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fine Mahler from Abbado on inspirational form 19 Mar 2012
By I. Giles TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
There are now several fine Mahler 5's to choose from on DVD and Blu-ray.

The best option for collectors is probably this by Abbado at the Lucerne Festival with his special festival orchestra. Abbado has the enviable reputation of being one of the world's finest Mahler conductors. This has been further reinforced by his set of performances held at Lucerne with his hand-picked orchestra constituting the Lucerne Festival orchestra.

This very large orchestra, apart from containing musicians of outstanding individual abilities, also lays great stress upon their empathy and experience with the world of chamber music. Thus is achieved the unusual combination of orchestral size allied to individual and corporate sensitivity. This suits Abbado's particular vision of Mahler and this is apparent throughout this very fine performance which some would describe as close to definitive.

The generously spacious layout of the orchestra allows the camera work to achieve equivalent sensitivity of detail as well as panoramic effect. The surround and stereo sound captures all of this with admirable lucidity.

In my opinion this is a clear contender for the full 5 stars and should give much pleasure and satisfaction to all purchasers of the recording.
