Grammy Award - Best Orchestral Performance, 2003
"The cathartic power of music to howl, to grieve and ultimately to console has never seemed so miraculous."
- San Francisco Chronicle
"A more impressive start to Tilson Thomas and the SFS’s Mahler cycle is difficult to imagine ... an exceptionally intense and, in the circumstances, remarkably coherent performance that isn’t to be missed. Very good sound quality, too ..."
- Gramophone
"Five Stars ... one of the most awe-inspiringly controlled interpretations this work can ever have received ... even Bernstein never had such full or truthful engineering to help him out; simply as sound, this has to be among the finest Mahler recordings ever made ..."
- BBC Music Magazine
The San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas kicked off a complete live Mahler symphony cycle with this highly praised Grammy-winning first volume, recorded in September 2001, in the days immediately following the events of 9/11. Fittingly, many believe that Mahler's Symphony No. 6, subtitled "Tragic", was a prophecy of the horrors of the century to come.
