Mahler - Simon Rattle, Berlin Philharmonic ‎– Symphony No. 5. Label: EMI Classics ‎– 5 57424 2. Format: 2 CD, Album, Bonus CD. Country: Europe. Live recording: 1. X. 2002, Philharmonie, Berlin. Includes 63 page booklet.

This recording is certainly fine for study purposes, and possibly good for a beginner's first hearing of this symphony, but it's hard to rate it much higher because of its strange episodes of languid playing

Similar qualities emerge in Rattle's earlier Mahler recording with the Berlin Philharmonic, also made live, of one of his favourite works: Deryck Cooke's performing version of Mahler's Tenth Symphony.

Mahler: Symphony No. 5 Sir Simon Rattle & Berliner Philharmoniker. In this live performance, the great Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle play masterfully, with an all-out, no-holds-barred approach. The sound is simply glorious, though the dynamic contrasts tend to be so extreme as to require a finger on the volume control. Rattle brings out each movement's character, going to the emotional edge but never beyond. This album contains no booklet. HighRes-Studio Master files are lossless at various sample rates from 4. kHz up to 384 kHz or 1-bit (. 224 MHz) for DSD. Studio Master: FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec).

Simon Rattle in Conversation with Nicholas Kenyon. Bonus DVD-Audio: Product details. Actors: Simon Rattle, Berlin Philharmonic. Format: Classical, Color, Widescreen, Dolby, DTS Surround Sound, NTSC. When the horn player brought his music stand forward and took center stage, I thought, "Wow! That's how it SHOULD be done!"

Discography: Simon Rattle.

According to this enthralling survey, Simon Rattle’s 1987 Berlin Philharmonic debut nearly didn’t happen. After being dropped off at the wrong entrance, the 32-year-old conductor found himself lost and wandering the grounds, the score of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony clutched desperately under his arm. He made the rehearsal by the skin of his teeth and the rest, as they say, is history.
