Schoenberg certainly knew the orchestra, but some of this orchestration is in poor taste. Snare Drum, Xylophone, Bass Drum are so alien to Brahms. Not one of his great finales to begin with, the Schoenberg orchestration makes it sound cheaper than it is.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want dis happining to me
I remember there was a video of the Berlin Philharmonic playing this; it gotten taken off, as it was on my favorites list. The flautist, I must say, was very good.
The whole orchestra was good, better than this one by a tiny bit.
Yes, that Berlin Phil performance is good and it is a better orchestra. However, I do prefer Jarvi's interpretation here far better than Rattle's. Somehow, Rattle misses a lot of important details in that performance and Rattle's tempi don't always work.
I havent seen the BPO performance, but of all the movements from Jaarvi I find this the best. Tempi are still a bit unstable, and Im not sure what happens with the solo at 6:02-04. He slows down and the entrance is not so clear. Otherwise, I agree with the comment about the flute. Not only a great player, but eye candy too..

Neeme Jarvi ( father of Paavo) also conducted and recording this with London so.
It is very powerful and exciting.

@muslit perhaps Schoenberg intended to pour scorn over Brahms... only after he has paid hommage to him at the first place...
