Beethoven’s colossal Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II for chorus, soloists, and orchestra and his playful, upbeat Second Symphony combine on this powerful new recording from Michael Tilson Thomas and the Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Symphony and Chorus. Rarely performed and recorded, this gripping and profoundly moving funeral cantata proved a revelation during the Symphony’s May 2013 Beethoven Project. The recording features the Symphony, Chorus, and a glorious solo quartet - soprano Sally Matthews, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford, tenor Barry Banks, and bass-baritone Andrew Foster-Williams - all conducted by MTT.
Critical acclaim for Michael Tilson Thomas' and the San Francisco Symphony's Beethoven series:
"The great splendor of this performance was the work of Ragnar Bohlin's Symphony Chorus, which brought tonal luster and emotional fervor to its assignment…The concert concluded with a crisp, sleekly shaped performance of the Second Symphony, recorded live for later release…It promises to be a keeper." - San Francisco Chronicle
"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
