Description:

Rattle, Chief Conductor of the Bayerische Rundfunk Symphonieorchester Live recordings of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks' specialties in the 75th anniversary year of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks] Simon Rattle, who succeeded Jansons as the 6th Chief Conductor of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks starting the 2023/2012 season, opened the season with his specialty pieces such as Mahler's 6th and Haydn's "The Creation". The orchestra opened the season with his signature pieces, Mahler's 6th and Haydn's The Creation. In particular, Mahler's Sixth was also featured in his first appearance with the Berlin Philharmonic (1987) and in his last concert as Chief Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic (2018), and his bringing it to the beginning of his tenure with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra shows his special feelings and complete confidence. The performance was a masterful one, with the entire piece flowing with sufficient dynamism and fluidity, and the orchestral virtuosity was a masterstroke. The performance is rich in information, as if it were a gigantic, multifaceted architecture filled with contradictions and hopes, without painting the music in a single tragic color, but rather, keeping the textures of the layered music intact. The excellent acoustics of the Isar Philharmonie in Gasteig HP8, the recording venue, also contributed to conveying the details of the performance.Reference Information Rattle's Mahler No. 6 Performance Time Comparison City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra(1989) 25:36/16:51/13:18/30:32(total 86:17)Berlin Philharmonic(1987) 23:06/15:01/12:23/28:33(total 79:31)Berlin Philharmonic( 2018) 23:52/15:26/12:50/29:53(total 82:15)Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra(2023) 24:17/15:08/12:53/29:44(total 82:02)Naxos Japan
