Both a frequent and a very welcome guest, Sir Simon Rattle takes to the podium at Musikfest Berlin for the last time as Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. Fittingly the conductor and orchestra bring with them a valedictory work: though, for all its melancholy, Gustav Mahler’s Ninth Symphony under Rattle will certainly not be a “definitive farewell.”
