Recorded live, this digital only album is the third and final in a series from the Boston Symphony Orchestra dedicated to the six symphonies of Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer John Harbison. Led by Jiří Bělohlávek and David Zinman, these concert performances were part of the BSO's two season survey of the complete Harbison symphonies, from 2010 to 2012. The Fifth Symphony, Harbison's longest, sets three poems on the Orpheus myth and features Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke and Canadian baritone Gerald Finley. Irish mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy appears on the Sixth Symphony, described by Harbison as an homage to BSO music director James Levine, who commissioned the work.
