No sign of it on the Presto website nor Die Berliner Philharmoniker's online shop. Someone IS selling it on eBay. A snip at £900!Last edited by pastoralguy; 06-09-18, 21:19.

I've streamed the complete Currentzis Mahler 6 from Spotify and oddly it didn't make quite the impact I thought it would, at least not sufficient to make me want to add a physical copy to the 20+ I already own. However, I need to listen to it again. Meanwhile, has anyone found the last movement of Mahler 3 conducted by Currentzis on YouTube? Mahler's langsam is taken as äusserst langsam and Currentzis out-Bernsteins Bernstein in extremes of dynamic contrast. Pianissimos are almost refined out of existence. Nevertheless, I found it moving.

i’m half way through it, due to time constraints, and so far I have to say I absolutely love it. Plenty of moments that felt rather different from any other performance I have heard, in creative and not jarring ways, and what feels to me like rather a HIPP Mahler approach, if there can be such a thing.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Edit & a bit of paraphrase from THE TIMES (2 Stars)
>
Two factors intermingle: the curious acoustic … and Currentzis’s equally curious interpretation of the turbulent Sixth Symphony.
The first things to note are the inauthentic rallentandos pulled during the first lyrical statements, navigated so smoochily by the strings that I feared for my sugar intake …
… a recessed, gloss-coated recording that leaves brass, woodwinds and sprinkled percussion clustering in the wake of the shiny strings.
… even the finale’s hammer blows of fate scarcely register...,
I cannot recommend this recording.
