Talk:Simon Rattle

message: "He has also worked with the world famous Toronto Children's Chorus."
Is this chorus really world famous? Rattle, like many community minded conductors, has worked with a huge number of childrens choirs, local groups and so on from all around the world, not least in Birmingham and Berlin, where he is famed for taking the BPO into community settings. Is there any reason why this group is being picked out?--Rob2000 13:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, conductors modifying orchestrations is a long-standing but little-known tradition as old as orchestral music. Mahler did it, Toscanini and Stokowski did it, Karajan did it, and now I suppose Rattle does it too. The only requirements are talent and taste. - Eyeresist 07:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: This page is decidedly not covered by WP:CM Kleinzach. Read the opening blurb: WikiProject Classical Music aims primarily to further comprehensive documentation of classical music—including historical and musicological analysis. Major works will be at the forefront. Where's the mention of people? Also WikiProject Classical music aims to improve, expand, cleanup, and maintain all articles related to Classical music, that aren't covered by other music related projects. Its participants help sort stubs and source statements made throughout the world of classical music. And this project is already covered by WP:Musicians.
All in all that's safe to say that this project is NOT covered by WP:CM and the WikiProject banner does not belong here. 131.111.213.37 (talk) 05:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I went to the Berliner Philharmonie yesterday evening to hear and see Rattle performing Brahms' Symphony No. 1 with the BPO. After the concert, i waited for him outside of his dressing room and told him how disappointed i was by what i felt were the extremely fast overall tempi he had chosen, or, more precisely, by the way he never ever had seemed to take the time to emphasize the many subtle transitions between the different phrases in all the movements except the second (the only movement he - in my opinion - conducted really as beautifully as it should be). I told him that it was over too fast in my opinion and that he should have given the piece and the assistance more time; that i felt he had treated it as if it had been Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5. He answered - very friendly, by the way - that one could also conduct Brahms "that" (i. e. his) way, and that "each conductor packs his own luggage". So much for Rattle being a *German* conductor in the Furtwängler tradition. --RCS (talk) 14:52, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
