Hit: 3 Stars
Almost 20 years separate Rattle's first recording of the Mahler Tenth (1980) and the celebrated one from Berlin (live, 1999) that was one of his first with his new orchestra. I went back to this earlier performance, which has ranked high for a long time, to see if the conductor had any early insights. Actually, he didn't. Contrary to the poisoned barb let loose by David Hurwitz in the Amazon review, the younger Rattle sounds callow compared to the older. Twenty years has brought noticeable growth.
This 1980 release is lightweight and performed only adequately by the Bournemouth Sym. It's certainly the least tragic, most optimistic Tenth I've ever heard. Since the CD is out of print (until EMI finds a way to repackage it) there's no loss in skip;ing directly to the later recording.
Mahler: Symphonie No. 10 Poster
This was one of Simon Rattle's first major recordings, made before he became music director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and it remains one of his best interpretively. He leads a viscerally exciting performance of Mahler's 10th Symphony, which incorporates some changes made to Deryck Cooke's final performing version of the unfinished score. Some of these (the cymbal crash at the end of the second movement) are successful, and others (the extra percussion at the climax of the finale) are less so. What's abundantly clear is that the Bournemouth string players are having a hell of time coping with Mahler's and Cooke's merciless demands, but the sense of strain is, arguably, part of the musical message. Rattle is a musician who has consistently failed to live up to his promise, on disc, at least, and it's salutary to recall just how refreshing a conductor he was before a mindlessly adoring English press immunized him against constructive self-criticism and stunted his artistic growth. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
