Product Description

Album Description

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.

Critical acclaim for the MTT/SFS Mahler symphony cycle:
"This is probably the best-played and most vividly engineered recording of Mahler's First Symphony I've yet heard." - Gramophone on Symphony No. 1

"More than matches the award-winning quality of past releases in the series." - Music Week on Symphony No. 2

"The knockout factors here are the orchestra's playing...and the spacious clarity of the sound." - Classic fM magazine on Symphony No. 3

"One to rank alongside the blistering performance of the Sixth" - BBC Music Magazine * * * * * / * * * * *, Benchmark Recording on Symphony No. 4

"This has to be among the finest Mahler recordings ever made." - BBC Music Magazine on Symphony No. 6

5.0 out of 5 stars Nirvana like in a Japanese print.... , 5 Sep 2008
For me this is a favourite, if not a definitive Mahler 9th. Stunning recording quality, ravishing string tone, limpid woodwind solos, overall excellence from the San Francisco Symphony who play their hearts out for Tilson Thomas with an unusual mix of passion and control which suits his interpretation ideally. There is plenty of satisfying, perfectly-placed emotion at climaxes but a lot of detailed precision playing, especially in the two inner movements. The relaxed tempo for the 2nd-movt Landler provides some magical sostenuto playing of great tenderness while the 'fugato' passages of the 3rd-movt rondo burleske are done with wit and intellectual vigour. The culminating Adagio does not disappoint either: it is all of a piece with this very convincing interpretation. Those who like their Mahler in good modern sound, with a great balance between the highs and lows of human emotion, leading to ultimate transcendence, should add this to their collection without delay. Mahler's greatest symphony in a beautiful performance for our day.
