The gold standard has to be the Rattle with CBSO in his final concert in Birmingham. It is like a master class in conducting...and how passion drives this piece. In some respects, it doesn't matter who is conducting because the music is greater than everything.

Fine effort from this group but the gold stardard has to be from Abbado and the LFO.

This is not a professional orchestra, and they do a great great job for what they do. I went to hear them play Mahler 3, and it was very adequate. You must remember what you have here - an orchestra of people who come together for the love of Mahler. Berlin it ain't, but boy would I love to play with them!

Nice job... and also nice to hear real bells in the finale. OK, it's not a world-class performance, but it's a first rate performance by a very good regional group!

Great, good, even not so good, they all bring me to tears... the music is just so powerful and gorgeous. Can't help but be moved!Thank you Mahler...

I totally agree: Rattle's version, Bernstein's version, Myung Whun Chung's version, Solti's version and Abbado's version are all perfection.
But still Haitink is better. Sorry.

Where has Rattle's ending of 2 gone with the CBSO? PLEASE re-post!
Choir is too soft its a bit fast as well ... the Bernstein version on is here is FAR superior to this performance.

I think that the new gold standard in Mahler's "Ressurection" is Gustavo Dudamel at the 2011 BBC Proms with the Simon Bolivar Orchestra and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain . Its on YouTube.
