About

Following the success of the enlightening first series of Keeping Score, Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra return with a second series that combine one-hour documentaries with live concert performances. The new programmes explore the music and stories behind the music.

Each of the DVDs in Keeping Score Series 2 features a documentary episode - with Michael Tilson Thomas guiding us through the composers’ perspectives and influences - coupled with a live concert performance of each work. The programmes are designed to engage and entertain viewers of all levels of musical background. With outstanding production values, they are released on DVD and Blu-Ray HD formats, making the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra the first orchestra to distribute its product on Blu-Ray disc.


Coming of age at the dawn of the twentieth century, Charles Ives saw the halcyon days of his youth fading fast. Not willing to let them go, he invented a striking new musical language to enshrine the feelings and ideals of a simpler time. But many, shocked by passages like the “fireworks” in ‘Fourth of July,’ found his new-fangled methods at odds with the memories he was trying to preserve. Did Ives go too far? Or did he succeed in turning his memories into music?
