Stravinsky: Canticum sacrum

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony release a stylistically dynamic recording from their September 2019 performance of Igor Stravinsky’s Canticum sacrum on the San Francisco Symphony’s 2019–20 Digital Concert Series. This kaleidoscopic work is an aural analogy to the five domes of Venice’s Saint Mark’s Cathedral, with music that proclaims “IGOR STRAVINSKY WAS HERE.” Hear the grandeur and intimacy of this musical statement accentuated by the vocals of Nicholas Phan, Tyler Duncan, and the SFS Chorus.
