About

This release is the second in the 'Pittsburgh Live!' series of multi-channel hybrid SACD releases on the Fresh! series from reference recordings - part of Reference Recordings' mission to encourage new artists and give them a strong platform for promotion and sales nationally and internationally.

For more than 116 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been known for its artistic excellence. The PSO has a rich history of the world's finest conductors and musicians. Past conductors include the legendary names of Reiner, Steinberg, Previn, Maazel and other greats. This tradition was furthered in the autumn of 2008, when celebrated Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became their Music Director.

The PSO is critically acclaimed as one of the world's greatest orchestras, and has completed more than 36 international tours, including 20 European tours, eight trips to the Far East, and two to South America. The PSO was the first American orchestra to perform at the vatican - in January 2004 for the late Pope John Paul II, as part of the Pontiff's silver Jubilee celebration.

The PSO also has a long history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. As early as 1936, the PSO broadcast coast-to-coast, receiving increased national attention in 1982 when it began network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International. Many PSO recordings remain in print and available, and they have won critical acclaim and many awards.

This release and the entire 'Pittsburgh Live!' series are recorded and mastered by the team at Soundmirror, whose outstanding orchestral, solo, opera and chamber recordings have received over 70 Grammy nominations and awards!

Soundmirror has recorded for every major classical record label, now including Reference Recordings.
