Warner Music San Francisco Symphony - Mahler: Symphony No. 3 & Kindertotenlieder, 2CD CD Classic

One of the finest and most critically acclaimed releases in Michael Tilson Thomas award-winning Mahler cycle with the San Francisco Symphony, the third is the most expansive of Mahler s symphonies. There are moments of angst here, but the overwhelming message is of love s redeeming power. The peaks this great work scales are some of the most glorious in all music. Featured performers include mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, the Women of the SFS Chorus, the Pacific Boychoir and the San Francisco Girls Chorus. The album also includes Mahler s heartbreaking Kindertotenlieder. This reissue from SFS Media maintains the Hybrid SACD format favored by many classical consumers, whilst streamlining the packaging to jewel case and thus providing excellent value.
