Mahler - Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" / Claudio Abbado, Eteri Gvazava, Anna Larsson, Orfeon Donostiarra, Lucerne Festival Orchestra Review

Music does not get any better than this.

The orchestral playing is incredible - this is Abbado's hand-picked group, with his custom-made sound. There is a chamber-music-like interaction between the players and sections of the orchestra, so it never feels like Abbado is forcing anything on the players. They play honestly, with a beautifully transparent sound allowing the most minute details to shine through (and those who know Abbado's music-making know that it's all about detail).

Interpretation-wise, there are some things that I would do differently (I am a student conductor), however, the honesty in the interpretation makes it 100% convincing.

The choir sounds fantastic, as do the soloists - the Urlicht is truly special. And the finale just took my breath away...the offstage brass I found particularly effective, contrary to some other reviewers' opinions. Mahler's music isn't written to be performed, as such - it's meant to exist in its own rite - the offstage instruments are not meant to sound like they're off the stage in a concert hall, but rather that the fanfares are coming from beyond this world. I think this DVD manages to capture that quite effectively. The end of the piece...cannot be described in words.

The sound and video quality are beautiful as well...and it's nice to see an orchestra play where the players and conductor really look like they love the music they're playing, and love working with each other.
