"... outstanding sound ... superb orchestral playing ... there is much to admire about this account ..."
- The Guardian
"... Thomas and the orchestra have rarely sounded so assured or dynamic in their command of Mahler’s late style."
- San Francisco Chronicle
"... surely one of the greatest Mahler performances in recorded history ... the orchestra breathes comfortably in the warm and clarifying acoustic of Davies Hall ... loads of detail ... as good as the sound is, it’s the performance that makes this utterly essential. Tilson Thomas comes as close to anyone in achieving Mahler’s ideal of a symphony/song hybrid, with the orchestra imparting as much meaning as the two vocalists ... well before the last note died away, I knew this would one day qualify as Hall of Fame material."
- Fanfare
Mahler was a great symphonist and a great songwriter, two strands of his genius that are intertwined in his “song symphony" Das Lied von der Erde (“The Song of the Earth”). Mahler summons all his orchestral and vocal imagination for an exploration of ancient Chinese poems that praise life’s joys and lament life’s brevity. Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony, joined by tenor Stuart Skelton and world-renowned baritone Thomas Hampson, on this lavishly praised live album recorded in September 2007.
