Beethoven: Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II & Symphony No. 2

Experience Beethoven's colossal Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II and his upbeat Second Symphony on this powerful recording. Rarely performed and recorded, this gripping and profoundly moving funeral cantata proved a revelation during the Symphony's May 2013 Beethoven Project. The recording features Grammy-winning Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony joined by the SF Symphony Chorus, and a glorious solo quartet- soprano Sally Matthews, mezzo-soprano, Tamara Mumford, tenor Barry Banks, and bass-baritone Andrew Foster-Williams.
