Rattle M8 from Berlin . . . does it have tam-tam at the end? . . sufficient organ? . . . how's Johan Botha, great as always? . . .

I've watched the performance they have up on the BPO website and it's much better than his EMI account. Big tam smashes, adequate organ (not a roaring jet engine like his EMI recording though), and I remember Botha sounding fine but it didn't stand out. I wasn't paying particular attention to it though.
Let's hope this all translates well to CD / digital.
I remember the second salvo of tam and cymbal smashes being a bit off time, but it didn't really detract because the two players were at least still together. Maybe they can adjust it for the audio release.
