About

Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony present a newly re-mastered SACD disc of Mahler’s Das klagende Lied, the ninth installment of their Grammy Award winning Mahler recording cycle. Employing Sony’s Super Audio 5.1 digital surround sound technology, this critically acclaimed performance of Mahler’s first large-scale orchestral work was recorded live at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco from May 29-31 and June 2, 1996 and first released in some territories under the RCA Red Seal label in 1997.

Written when Mahler was an unknown twenty-year-old, the first performance of the three-movement version was a broadcast over Radio Brno, Czechoslovakia, in 1934, twenty-three years after Mahler’s death. This recording features soprano Marina Shaguch, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, tenor Thomas Moser and baritone Sergei Leiferkus and will be released in Europe to coincide with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony’s 2007 performances there, including 2 highly anticipated concerts at the Proms. The original recording was produced and engineered by the same team responsible for the highly acclaimed SFS Mahler Symphony Series.


There are conductors who perform Mahler, and then there are Mahlerians – the ones who can understand and convey the composer’s distinctive blend of extravagant sentiment and sardonic, excoriating wit. Michael Tilson Thomas is a true Mahlerian, one of those conductors for whom this composer’s symphonies and songs are central texts, and for whom Mahler’s music forms an essential link between the past century and our own… likely to become the standard recording of this little-known score.” – Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, May 18, 1997

…surpasses the other disc versions previously available.” – Opera News December 6, 1997

…without question the most vividly recorded [Das klagende Lied].” – Stereo Review October 1997
