Product Description

Oberösterreichische Nachrichten, August 29, 2007

`Sir Simon Rattle has once again demonstrated his great affinity for this music and his ability to recreate it in the most thrilling fashion.[...] It is hardly possible to imagine a realization of this music at once more moving and more menacing. The finale was heavenly, with the Berliners pulling out all the stops. Outstanding solo playing, subtly savoured colours, saturated and warmly sonorous wind chords and a pianissimo that died away into utter oblivion - all these contributed to making this a sensational concert.'


Album Description

Simon Rattle began recording the Mahler symphonies for EMI Classics in 1987, the first foray being Symphony No. 2 with the CBSO, and the subsequent cycle has seen great critical success. Gramophone said of Sir Simon's earlier recording of Mahler 9 with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for EMI: "How thrilling it is to hear the score projected at white heat! This is at various times the loudest, softest, fastest and slowest Mahler Ninth on disc." And the magazine commented on his Mahler 10 recording with the BPO, which was his first Mahler with the orchestra: "Rattle makes the strongest possible case for an astonishing piece of revivification that only the most die-hard purists will resist. Strongly recommended."

With over 225k sales to date, his recordings of Mahler 5 and 10 with the BPO have certainly been a huge hit, and this new recording of Symphony No. 9 is sure to be just as successful amongst his many fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent New Ninth From Rattle & the BPO, 16 Mar 2008
By PhilsterNo1 (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Even if you're happy with whatever great Ninth/s you already have in your possession, think seriously about buying this. It's really affordable, much cheaper than the Vienna recording, and better recorded by far. You must know by now what a superb Mahlerian Rattle is. He has spoken, I believe, about the Ninth as part of a triptych with Das Lied and the Tenth Symphony. The new Berlin Ninth is to my mind the realisation of Schoenberg's description of the symphony as (paraphrase), a series of dispassionate statements of beauty. There is something pure, almost glacial, and finally purifying about this recording's voyage into Mahler's loving, sublime, mortified psyche. At times I thought I was with Karajan's orchestra of the 1980s.

I love the way rattle is able, on this occasion, to elucidate musical details, leaf and flower, without the drama getting forestalled. Everyone moves just as it should. The landler is splendidly gritty and the Berlin strings really let rip in the adagio. The closing pages are magical, the whole movement very moving because tears are held in check.

To be honest, I wouldn't choose this ahead of karajan's 1982 recording which intriguingly has more bite and ferocity in the middle movements, more grace and refinement geared towards drawing us into a battle with mortality drawn uncomfortably close. Rattle really is too reserved in the rondo, but nevertheless, this is quite an achievement and definitely worth acquiring even as a supplement to the Complete Symphonies box-set. Take a deep breath...
