About

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony follow their recently completed Mahler cycle with a series of new live recordings, starting with this all-Beethoven disc featuring the Fourth Piano Concerto with world-renowned pianist Emanuel Ax, and Symphony No.5.

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony continue to bolster their discography with recordings from both the core classical repertoire as well as works new to, or rarely heard by audiences. These new recordings reflect the broad range of programming that has been a hallmark of the 15-year MTT/SFS partnership. The new releases, recorded live in concert in the orchestra’s home Davies Symphony Hall, are all available as Hybrid SACDs.

Beethoven's elegant Fourth Piano Concerto earned a swift and generous standing ovation…Mr. Ax remains one of our foremost keyboard stars for a reason… MTT capped [the concert] with a bracing Fifth of Beethoven.” – Bay Area Reporter
