The internationally best-selling, Grammy Award-winning partnership of Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony continue their critically acclaimed Mahler cycle with Symphony No. 4. Mahler’s Fourth is the most tuneful and upbeat of his symphonies. Its gloriously expansive slow movement offers a picture of heavenly terrain and its vocal finale, with American rising star soprano Laura Claycomb, is as freshly innocent as a folk tune. The exceptional standards set by this notable cycle are upheld in the outstanding performance, SACD production and luxurious packaging.
