[Freddy van Maurik]

I knew this should be on its way, but now there's artwork and a release date:

I'm wondering what the 'bonus DVD' will include...

Well, I love the orchestra!

Any ideas on what to expect here? Is this one gonna de-throne the Fischer or what?

OT: Yesterday I was browsing the booklet of the new Rattle/Berlin 'Nutcracker' disc (what a wonderful performance!) and its final page mentions a forthcoming Rattle/Berlin/M2 with Kate Royal and Magdalena Kozena.

[Freddy van Maurik]

Huh 

I thought the Rattle/Berlin Nutcracker wasn't due till November of this year? Where'd you get it?

Cheers!

I'm not that big a Rattle fan, but I'm rather curious about this one...

Wow! This one looks pretty good .

I like Rattle's M2nd with CBSO very much and hardly think there needs be any improvement on that recording. But this is just the second recording of Resurrection with BPO!

How about Rattle/BPO M7th?? That will be pretty good too.

John,

P.S. I heard that the live recordings from 1995 Mahlerfesst will be available individually.

Just as an f.y.i., Rattle's '95 Mahlerfest M7 was with the V.P.O. It's a great performance in a "live" sort of way, but there a few "clams" in the brass - particularly the trumpets.

Man, I can't wait to hear this BPO M2!!!!!!!!

When does this Rattle M2 become a reality?

[brunumb]

I know this is trivial and petty, but why do they insist on sticking pictures of Rattle on the covers of his CDs?

It seems most classical releases have the conductor on the cover.

It has become more prevalent recently.  I don't like it.
Remember the Boulez Mahler CDs?  Interesting, and appealing (to me anyway) abstract art........until the last few issues that were spoiled by those monochrome covers with Boulez himself.  I'd rather see the composer if it has to be a person.
There was a thread about cover art way back.  Might be interesting to resurrect it to have a discussion on a different aspect for a change.

I totally agree with you.  I especially like the Michael Gielen cycle covers as well. I will see if I can find my old thread.

It's been available in Finland since September 8th...

While in Munich last week, I saw a poster in the subway system while on the train advertising a concert of him doing M2, but in the two instances I saw it, I either went by it too fast, and in the other, while stopped, it was too far away and at an angle for me to catch details.  Probably he was doing it with either the BvRSO or the Munich Philharmonic.
