SFS MEDIA PRESENTS
Alban Berg: Violin Concerto, Seven Early Songs, and Three Pieces for Orchestra
A new recording from the Grammy-winning
Michael Tilson Thomas and San Francisco Symphony
"When Thomas and the Symphony musicians are all moving together as one, through sparse soundscapes and massed music onslaughts, the effect can be transfixing"
– San Francisco Chronicle
Music Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony illuminate the gorgeously evocative world of Alban Berg in the newest release from the Grammy Award-winning SFS Media label. Hear the heartbreaking pathos of Berg’s Violin Concerto brought to life by brilliant violinist Gil Shaham; the soaring, multicolored Seven Early Songs performed by acclaimed soprano Susanna Phillips; and the spellbinding Three Pieces for Orchestra, in which the composer solidified his reputation as a master of spacious expression. This album is available now as a studio master-quality SACD, as a digital download, and via streaming.
