MAHLER DAS KLAGENDE LIED SACD |
|
 |
For the benefit of collectors and MTT fans everywhere, the San Francisco Symphony label is pleased to bring back this essential Mahler recording, now remastered for SACD and repackaged for inclusion in the complete series. Recorded live at Davies Symphony Hall and produced by the same team responsible for the best-selling Mahler symphonies, this riveting 1996 interpretation of Das klagende Lied (performed in the now standard edition of the work that collates the original Part One with the revised versions of Parts Two and Three) was uniformly praised for its “blazing conviction”.
Michael Tilson Thomas contributed his brilliant interpretation of the original three-movement version in 1996, and this live recording with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra & Chorus first appeared on RCA. Now freshly remastered and reissued on the orchestra's own label, it appears as a hybrid SACD, with extraordinary details, striking tone colors, and great spaciousness in the multi-channel recording. - all Music Guide
"The 5.0 surround mix sounds as good as the other SF Symphony SACDs, which is state-of-the-art." - John Sunier, audaud.com
“…without question the most vividly recorded [Das klagende Lied].” - Stereo Review
“There are conductors who perform Mahler, and then there are Mahlerians – the ones who can understand and convey the composer’s distinctive blend of extravagant sentiment and sardonic, excoriating wit. Michael Tilson Thomas is a true Mahlerian, one of those conductors for whom this composer’s symphonies and songs are central texts, and for whom Mahler’s music forms an essential link between the past century and our own… likely to become the standard recording of this little-known score.” - Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle
“The most exciting Mahler combination anywhere right now." - The Los Angeles Times
