Sir Rattle Simon - Symphony No 9 the Great

"Sir Simon Rattle speculates: "This is a very complex piece because it balances a desperate tightrope between heaven and hell, and joy and obsession, and it's hard to know at any one moment what wins. I can't bear the thought that he (Schubert) never heard the piece, and that it took so long for it to be accepted". Recorded live with the Berliner Philharmoniker in June 2005, this album marks Simon Rattle's first recorded survey into the symphonies of Schubert. EMI Classic. 2006.
