1.Britten: The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra from: EMI September 16, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.99
This recording of the Young person's guide to the orchestra takes you right into the concert hall, the excitment, invigoration and sheer power of the recording leaves you breathless. The transition of music from live performance onto disc is not an easy one and only a handful of recordings achieve it - but this is one of them

While there are some lovely pieces of music on these CDs they don't match the titles. When I bought this 2-set CD I thought that maybe I had received Vol2. or something by mistake as none of the tracks match the information on the CD insert. I decided to check by listening to the samples here on Amazon & discovered that they too are incorrect. Just to ensure I wasn't going mad I found the CD set on a US website and listened to their samples & they were correct!!! I wish someone could explain.

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 ... Read More:

6.Mahler - Symphony No 5 from: EMI Classics October 07, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.99 You Save: £2.00 (13%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.99
It is difficult to understand the hostile contemporary response to Mahler's music, at times uncomprehending, at others vitriolic. Where did the problem lie? In trying to unravel the symbolism of 'programmatic' works like the Fifth? Viennese anti-Semitism? A misunderstanding of the man and his motives? Whatever the initial difficulties with such music, the Berlin Philharmoniker's inspired presentation here allows for a relatively untroubled appreciation of sublime music that is more multi-faceted than complex and more difficult to play than to listen to. Leading Mahler critic Michael Kennedy has called this symphony, the first of the so-called Ruckert series, 'Mahler's Eroica, progressing from tragedy to triumph'. He also considers the ...

8.Elgar: Violin Concerto/Vaughan Williams: Lark ascending from: EMI November 03, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.98 You Save: £5.01 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.90
There is no doubt that this is a great CD. The performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams' `The Lark Ascending' is outstanding . The case is made for Elgar's Violin Concerto being the greatest of his major orchestral works; however the performance has a weakness as well as its strengths, as I will explain. The pairing of Simon Rattle and Nigel Kennedy is inspired. The great conductor anchors Kennedy's playing in a rock solid foundation of perfectly judged orchestral playing. He brings his wealth of experience in giving life to the rich sound worlds of early 20th century composers to the project. The same feeling he has shown for composers such as the better known Mahler, and the more exotic Szymanowski is shown here. Rattle's great gift is be able ... Read More:

I Came across this by accident but was hooked on the first hearing. In tracks such as St Crispin's Day, the composer manages to convey the sweep and drama of the film to such a degree that even if one never saw the film the scene is perfectly conveyed. Definitely deserves a wider audience.
