About

One of today’s most significant recording cycles continues with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony offering the eighth instalment in their award-winning cycle of Mahler Symphonies, the ever-popular Fifth.

Mahler's Fifth Symphony is all about action. It was his breakthrough work--a "foaming, roaring, raging sea of sound," he called it, a work of "dancing stars." The famed Adagietto was inspired by Mahler's love for his young wife Alma.

The project’s uncommon critical and commercial success have brought the exceptional conductor-orchestra partnership two Grammy Awards and numerous citations throughout the world. Every release has entered the Top Ten of the Billboard Classical Chart. MTT has distinguished himself as one of the world’s foremost Mahler interpreters, and through his signature performances, as one of the composer’s most compelling advocates. In 2005 his achievements were recognised by The Gramophone who named him Artist of the Year.
