In addition to all of Mahler's Symphonies and the Songs with Orchestra, the set includes the first ever release of mezzo-soprano Susan Graham singing Rückert Lieder accompanied by Michael Tilson Thomas at the piano. The release coincides with the 100th anniversary of Mahler's death on 18 May, as well as the Symphony's European tour to such cultural capitals as Barcelona, Brussels, Luxembourg, Madrid, Paris, Prague and Vienna.
The MTT-SFS Mahler series has sold over 130,000 units worldwide, earned international critical acclaim, and received seven Grammy's and a Gramophone Award. This new presentation is an efficient and affordable way to acquire Mahler's entire orchestral output by the composer's most notable modern-day interpreters. |
