This release captures a performance of Mahler's 'Symphony No.2 in C Minor' at the historic Riverside Cathedral, New York in 2007, with Neeme Jarvi conducting members of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
Advantages: Fascinating insight into a very private conductor Disadvantages: One always wants more concert clips in DVDs like this...
...and colleagues, and of course from Abbado himself - which is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the DVD as up to now he has always preferred to talk through his music rather than to journalists.
The orchestras featured in the performance extracts are the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Lucerne Festival Orchestra and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.
Performance and rehearsal extracts played during the DVD are by: Luigi Nono - "Prometeo"; Dvorak - Symphony No. 9; Beethoven - Symphonies No. 1, 3 and 9, Egmont Overture; Bruckner - Symphonies No. 1 and 9; Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms; Brahms - "Ein deutsches Requiem"; Richard Strauss - "Elektra"; Webern - 6 Pieces for Orchestra; Mahler - Symphony No. 2; Debussy - La Mer and Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 5.

Advantages: A Brilliant way to finish the Alien Quadrilogy Disadvantages: Last of a Brilliant Legacy
...performances. I found the soundtrack of the film not very good at adding tension for the movie, but people have got different opinions on such things.
These Alien DVD's are still pretty expensive if people want the 2 disc special addition DVD's. But never mind the price or the soundtrack, i still think this was a brilliant movie to end the Alien saga. Thanks...
