Michael Tilson Thomas
Beethoven's colossal Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II and his playful, upbeat Symphony No.2 combine on this powerful new recording from Michael Tilson-Thomas and the Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Symphony and Chorus. Rarely performed or recorded, Beethoven's gripping and profoundly moving funeral cantata proved a revelation during the Symphony's May 2013 Beethoven Project. The recording features a glorious solo quartet - soprano Sally Matthews, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford, tenor Barry Banks, and bass-baritone Andrew Foster-Williams. Presented as a premium audio hybrid SACD, this album is the latest addition to the San Francisco Symphony's ongoing series of Beethoven recordings.
