It may be that Rattle is more faithful to the score at this point than Abbado, but I find his performances strangely unsettling, and have no hestitation in placing this Abbado concert performance right at the top of the list of the many I have enjoyed listening to. The Swiss press gushed: 'It would be hard to find anything greater, more significant or more moving anywhere in musical life today: total harmony of mind, and heart, poetry and outcry, fear and consolation, knowing and feeling'.
