MTT CONDUCTS MAHLER 5

Featuring many of his most rapturous melodies--the "Adagietto" is a love poem for his young bride Alma--the Fifth Symphony finds Mahler at his most joyous and life-affirming. It's the ideal vehicle for Music Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas, whose decades-long devotion to the Austrian visionary yielded the acclaimed Mahler recording project on SFS Media. In Schoenberg's Five Pieces for Orchestra, offbeat instrumental combinations and collisions create new harmonic pathways, new expressive possibilities.
