Abbado's Lucerne Festival Orchestra is arguably one of the all time best. The players are hand-picked by him for the Lucerne Festival and include soloists, principals from some of the foremost orchestras, and several quartets. They have been meeting for the past number of Lucerne Festivals; and EuroArts has released DVDs of their performances of Mahler's Symphonies 2, 5, 6 and 7. Now Mahler's 3rd has just been released. br / br /Much has been written in reviews of the previous releases about this wonderful orchestra which enthusiastically assembles annually. Most of the players know and admire their colleagues, and this certainly comes out in their playing. One reviewer said that they play like a large chamber orchestra. Because I would advise anyone reading this review to get all the previous productions, take the opportunity to read the many glowing reviews of their performances. Therefore I will not reiterate them here. This performance is arguably the best of them all. br / br /I have not experienced all the recordings of Mahlers 3rd, but I am sure that this would be right up there with the very best of those as well. 24 hours after playing this DVD, I can still feel the effects. br / br /Claudio Abbado takes this wonderful orchestra through all the dynamic and tempo changes under great control and pace. There are so many individual solo bits for all of the instruments, that having an orchestra full of such accomplished musicians is an enormous advantage. As with the recording of Mahlers 2nd, Anna Larsson is the mezzo, and she does a splendid job. br / br /If I have any complaint at all about this production it is that the offstage posthorn player, Hannes Laubin, who seems to have put his soul into his 3rd movement performance, does not get a soloist credit. He does take the curtain calls with Anna Larsson; but for what he has done, he should have more. br / br /The only word I can think of to sum up this performance (and technical production) is TRANSCENDENT. br / br /A must have!! br / br /Archie
