Grammy Award - Best Classical Album, 2007
Grammy Award - Best Orchestral Performance, 2007
"The San Francisco Symphony are on top form ... gleaming brilliance ... exuberant mischievousness."
- Gramophone
"Four Stars ... the orchestral playing and the lustrous detail (is) outstanding ... there is a fabulous security to the SFS's playing and every fleck of one of Mahler's most texturally adventurous scores is clear."
- The Guardian
"This Mahler 7th would be my current recommendation to anyone. The standard of playing and recording is superb throughout ... the best stereo version I know ... even at full pelt the detail in the recording is staggeringly transparent. To me, Mahler’s orchestration and musical message never sounded so good ..."
- MusicWeb International
Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony and Chorus on a live performance of Mahler's victorious Symphony No. 7, captured in March 2005. This album is one volume in the complete cycle of Mahler symphonies Thomas recorded with the SFS between 2001 and 2009, a series that received worldwide acclaim and won a combined seven Grammies. This installment was awarded two of those Grammies in 2007, for Best Orchestral Performance and for Best Classical Album.
