As the successor to Wilhelm Furtwängler, Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, his mission was to take this pre-eminent musical institution into the 21st century. "What Rattle has brought ? is a new spirit of adventure," declared The Times in 2006, and later looked back on the "exhilarating, epoch-hopping eclecticism of Simon Rattle?s era in Berlin". Through all this Rattle preserved the orchestra?s distinctive sonority, notable, in the words of the New York Times, for its "sheer grandeur ? and rich, red-blooded warmth". He first conducted the Berliner Philharmoniker in 1987, and the recordings in this 45CD box span the years from 1994 to 2012. Very much reflecting Rattle?s vision for the orchestra, the symphonic, choral and operatic works range from pillars of Austro-German Classicism, Romanticism and Modernism through French, Russian and Czech repertoire to showcases for contemporary composers from around the world ? and even a film soundtrack. As Rattle said at the end of his tenure in Berlin: "Music is for everybody, and we?ve all believed this."
