Barenboim is theatrical rather than devotional. The chief glory of the evening is surely the mellow thunderousness of an orchestra that has come into its own with Barenboim at the helm, as much a standard-bearer for older Austro-German norms as the maestro himself. String tone is dark and full, woodwind timbre strong, The horns, so important in this score, are on excellent form. – Gramophone Magazine

itself. He himself seems to radiate an inner stillness out of which the Symphony can grow. A moving and deeply satisfying performance to watch.

I found Barenboim’s conducting extraordinarily convincing. He molds phrases with great care, though never obsessively, still less in any narcissistic way. Instead, what comes through in the way he shapes the music is his determination to present it in the best possible light. The camera-work on this DVD is conventional in the best sense in that the director presents a straightforward film of the concert.
