Combination made in heaven
I simply can't imagine anything surpassing the combination of Rattle/Berliner Philharmoniker/Mahler in any way and I feel extremely unworthy writing something about this to make sense. I am a great great fan of Gustav Mahler and have come across many versions of his symphonies. I simply find this the best recording of this particular symphony, even better than good old Lenny's version and well worth owning. You certainly won't regret this one!!

Fine performance, but a bit of a swindle
Disc 1 is fine. I didn't much care for the Ades piece, but it's mercifully short. The Mahler is a fine performance with Rattle on top form, and followed by an interesting interview with the maestro. But I can't see the point of disc 2, which seems to consist of nothing but an audio performance of the symphony - no video, no intro, no extras, nothing - it might as well have been an audio CD. I didn't hear the performance through, and although the movements were listed at the beginning I couldn't access them individually. It was all or nothing. Disc 1 is all you need.
