  Encyclopedia: Simon Rattle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In 1999, Rattle was appointed as successor to Claudio Abbado as principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, widely seen as the most prestigious conducting post in the world.
Nevertheless, Rattle won the post and proceeded to win over his detractors by refusing to sign the contract until he had ensured that every member of the orchestra was paid fairly.
Rattle has conducted a wide variety of music, but he is best known for his interpretations of early 20th century composers like Mahler, with a recording of Mahler's Second Symphony winning several awards on its release.

 Shake, Rattle and Roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1966, at a time when Turner's career was at a low ebb, Haley arranged for his Comets to back the elder musician for a series of recordings in Mexico, although apparently Haley and Turner did not record a duet version of "Shake Rattle and Roll".
Calhoun later co-wrote "Flip, Flop and Fly" which was musically very similar to "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and followed the same simple verse-chorus form.
Other songs inspired by "Shake, Rattle and Roll" include "Bark, Battle and Bawl" by The Platters and "Jump and Jive and Wail" by Louis Prima.

Rattle was convinced he was the man for the job, the new manager Ed Smith had been one of his closest colleagues in Liverpool, and together they set about reinvigorating the orchestra in the most spectacular fashion.
Rattle’s election to the Berlin Philharmonic (a full three years before he actually took up the post at the end of Claudio Abbado’s time there) was a sensation, but not perhaps a surprise to those who had watched his development closely.
Rattle has already had many challenges there, working with the orchestra to change the structure under which they operate so that the artistic planning, touring activity, recording and media work is all co-ordinated centrally.

 Beethoven Symphonies Rattle [CA]: Classical CD Reviews- Apr 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Rattle’s versions do not sweep the board, and if there is more dismay than illumination, there’s no doubting the individuality and personality of the music-making (certainly in comparison with Abbado).
Rattle notes the Scherzo should be faster than the Finale — so too Bernstein — which means he doesn’t push the last movement and allows it to grow to an inebriated conclusion.
Rattle’s breadth for the opening movement is as surprising as it is welcome — rather noble, and enlivened by twinkles of subsidiary detail.

 ArkivMusic | Mahler: Symphony No 10 / Rattle, Berlin Philharmonic
Since then, Rattle has performed it numerous times in both Europe and the U.S., and the fruits of his labor and acquired insight finally have been re-recorded for all to enjoy.
In the second movement, Rattle's sharply etched contrast between the Scherzo proper and the various Trio sections makes his the most convincing presentation of this problematic movement to date, and much the same can be said for the brief, central Purgatorio movement.
Another improvement: Rattle now plays those opening drum strokes just plain mezzo forte, as opposed to the absurd fortissimo of his earlier Bournemouth recording, gradually making them louder at their reprise (after the solo flute and strings have had their turn with "the big tune") and he saves the very loudest stroke for last.
