A few days back Simon Rattle brought but Berlin Philharmonic in Boston and blew my mind. I never was a huge fun of Simon Rattle and the music was garbage (Mahler 7). We were sitting accidently very close (Berlin extended the stage consuming the first 8 rows) and where able to see all small interactions between the musicians. God, I so love what I saw and what I heard. The Berlin Philharmonic was spectacular and I did not see for a while this aristocratism of playing and behavior. It is truly that compare to them our BSO is just a bunch of an assembly of angry semi-amateurs.   
 


I went to see Simon Rattle and the Australian World Orchestra perform Bruckner's 8th last year.  We were not able to get good seats and as a result I was not happy with the sound on the night but after hearing it on the radio I purchased the CD recording from that very performance and I find it sublime.
