Beethoven: Leonore Overture No. 3 & Symphony No. 7

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony continue their recording programme apace with the latest on their groundbreaking SFS Media label, live recordings of Beethoven's Leonore Overture No. 3 and his Seventh Symphony. Featuring two of the composer's most popular works, this Hybrid SACD release continues MTT's and the SFS's ongoing exploration of the music of Beethoven. In 2011, SFS Media released Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 and his Piano Concerto No. 4 featuring Emanuel Ax, and the Third Symphony Eroica was the subject of an instalment in the acclaimed Keeping Score DVD and Blu-ray series. MTT and SFS will conclude their 2011-12 Centenary Season with performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 "Choral", to be recorded for release next season.
