The Michael Tilson Thomas-San Francisco Symphony Mahler cycle achieved legendary status almost immediately upon its inauguration in 2002. It has amassed acres of critical acclaim and numerous international awards. Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection” was recorded live in San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall in June 2004. It is a performance that illuminates the deeply serious and sweetly innocent, music that conjures visions of apocalypse and heaven, thrilling right up to the finale. Joining MTT and SFS are the Grammy-winning SFS Chorus, the young Canadian-Armenian soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian, and the noble mezzo Lorraine Hunt Lieberson.
