Mahler: Symphony No. 9
San Francisco Symphony
Michael Tilson Thomas (conductor)
Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony release the latest instalment in their acclaimed Mahler symphony cycle, the epic Symphony No. 9. Written in the last two years of the composer's life, Tilson Thomas has called the work "perhaps the most important and emotionally satisfying farewell symphony in all of music." The 2-CD set was recorded live in San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall, in a concert the San Francisco Chronicle called "a performance for the ages...this may well be the crowning achievement of the entire project." As with all other releases in the MTT/SFS Mahler cycle, Symphony No. 9 benefits from Direct Stream Digital recording technology and release in Hybrid SACD format. The critically acclaimed MTT/SFS Mahler cycle has garnered two Grammy Awards. All five previous releases have graced the Top Ten of the Billboard Classical Chart.
