Wonderful playing! I like the cohesiveness of the performance. Rattle really gets it.

Great performance! I do like the smaller orchestra arrangement however. My favorite is with Zubin Mehta and L.A. Phil. One of my teachers, Ralph Pyle played second horn and Henry Sigismonti played first horn. Zubin is also an excellent conductor for this type of music. He understands the style very well. Having studied in Vienna also helps.

@BerlinPhil Still waiting for the CD to be issued. Did EMI forget?

I wish Schoenberg's music all sounded like this

By memory? Wow! That's so impressive.

@BerlinPhil EMI is really sitting on the CD though. Hope they will issue it soon.

Terrific, indeed.

@BerlinPhil This is good news. I saw both pieces in San Francisco and also in the DCH. I am looking forward to this CD very much.



I wonder, will berlin phil be playing "brahms 5" anytime soon? schoenberg did an excellent job arranging an already excellent piece of chamber music.

They just played it in November. There is a recording available in our Digital Concert Hall, and we will also upload an excerpt here on YouTube.

@BerlinPhil The piece Berlin is talking about also was recorded for CD....so it seems. I also hope this version of the chamber symphony makes it to CD.

@GregHales Yes, the Chamber Symphony will be on the same CD.

Hmm... Are my standards too low or were Schönberg's standards high? Because this sounds and looks way too large to be a /chamber/ symphony to me. :P

Well spotted! In fact, this is Schoenberg's own arrangement for large orchestra.
