It sounds pretty good. As usual with Rattle, the Scherzo is on the fast and tight side.

From the samples, I have to agree that this release sounds promising.
This is a symphony where (for me) the details can distinguish the whole, so I will await reports on those.
Thank you, Barry, for bringing it to our attention.

This is good news although I rather doubt it will exceed Rattle's previous M6th with BPO (his farewell performance in Berlin).

John, I agree. That one is hard to beat, but I’ll have to reserve judgment until I hear the entire new recording. I prefer the BRSO over Berlin, so it already has that going for me.

I've already jettisoned the Vanska/Minnesota M6. I'm thinking if this new one is really good, I might make it my one and only M6 in A/S order on CD, and jettison the Adam Fischer and Daniel Harding ones. I kind of like the Harding one (reminds me a bit Kubelik/BRSO), but I suspect this new BR Klassik one will have better sound quality. Also, I need to 'pychologically and emotionally' make room for the coming Bychkov/C.P.O. one.

While I like the inner two movements on the Vanska (in the less desirable order, of course), I'm just not crazy about his two outer movements. I doubt I would ever get rid of his M2, M7, M8 and M10.

That Bychkov M6 could be a game-changer.

If Rattle does more Mahler with the BRSO, I’ll surely be paying attention. “Late” Rattle’s Mahler has been his best (by far, in my opinion).

Also, if Vänskä’s M6 outer movements had as much momentum/drive as the inner two, I’d like it better. Still, it’s a minor complaint for an otherwise solid cycle.

Yep, the upcoming Bychkov/CPO M6th will eclipse all others!^ I have heard it and I thought it was truly great, even better than his NYPO recording.

Cross your fingers!

--> I quite like Vanska's opening movt. of the symphony but as you do I have some serious reservation about his Finale: it just doesn't seem to 'wake up' until the first hammer blow and that nearly kills the movement.
