Product Description

Album Description

Hard on the heels of earning Gramophone's Artist of the Year award, Michael Tilson Thomas presents the seventh instalment in his universally acclaimed Mahler cycle with the San Francisco Symphony, Symphony No. 7. MTT has distinguished himself as one of the world's foremost Mahler interpreters and is one of the composer's most compelling advocates. 'The Seventh' is Mahler at his most mysterious. Sometimes called "Song of the Night," the work has a tantalising nocturnal quality: in two "Nachtmusik" movements and sonic cascades of the opening, inspired by an evening boat ride on an alpine lake. This live recording "is a magnificent powerhouse, the finest instalment in the project," according to the San Francisco Chronicle. As with all other releases in the MTT/SFS Mahler cycle, Symphony No. 7 benefits from Direct Stream Digital recording technology and release in Hybrid SACD format.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a top recommendation, 10 Jan 2007
By Mr. Christian Hoskins (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Mahler's 7th Symphony, with its highly imaginative and complex orchestration, would seem an ideal candidate for multichannel sound. However, at a time when 5 SACD recordings of Shostakovich's 11th Symphony are now available, this is puzzlingly still the only SACD version of the Mahler symphony.

Unfortunately I didn't find the sound quality very impressive in either stereo or 5 channel sound. The performance was recorded live and I suspect the engineers were constrained by the need to eliminate audience noise. Whatever the reason, the recording sounds close up and a little artificial.

The musical performance is also unremarkable. It was only in the finale that I found myself drawn into the symphony. With outstanding alternatives available from the likes of Abbado and Bernstein (both on CD and DVD), the San Francisco recording is best recommended to those collecting Tilson Thomas's Mahler cycle.
