Sir Simon Rattle - Mahler: Symphony No.5 - VINYL LP

In 1999, Sir Simon Rattle was appointed as successor to Claudio Abbado as the orchestra's principal conductor. He gave his first concert as principal conductor on 7 September 2002, leading performances of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 and Asyla by Thomas Adès, a "spicy mix of traditional and modern" (The Guardian). These performances received incredible reviews from the press worldwide and the Mahler 5 recording released at that time won many awards, being one of his most successful albums so far. This recording is released on vinyl for the very first time. 'Rattle brings a real sense of structural cohesion and an apposite lightness of touch to passages routinely overweighted in the great performances of the past. The finale, deft, vigorous and full of joy, is sure to impress.' GRAMOPHONE Album Tracks 1. Symphony No. 5 in C-Sharp minor I. Trauermarsch. in Gemessenen Schritt. Streng. Wie Ein Kondukt 2.
