Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony pair Beethoven’s Symphony No.2 and the Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II, expertly abetted by the superb San Francisco Symphony Chorus and an international quartet of soloists.
Rarely performed and recorded, the gripping and profoundly moving funeral cantata, composed by a teenage Beethoven, proved a revelation during MTT’s and the Symphony’s May 2013 Beethoven Project. Presented as a premium audio hybrid SACD, this release joins the growing critically acclaimed discography of Beethoven recordings by MTT and SFS.
Critical acclaim for Michael Tilson Thomas’ and the San Francisco Symphony’s Beethoven series:
“The Seventh is given a brilliant, vibrant performance, with balanced tempos, opulent sound, and unflagging energy.” - Fonoforum
“A satisfying recording of a masterwork...and a pleasing memento of what today's San Francisco Symphony sounds like.” - San Francisco Classical Voice
