Beethoven / San Francisco Sym / Thomas Symphony 7 Super-Audio CD

This release from Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony features Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 coupled with the Leonore Overture No. 3. One of his most stirring works and also one that he considered among his best, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 was immensely popular from it's first playing. Recently, it's powerful second movement was used to great dramatic effect in the seminal moments of the Oscar-winning movie the King's Speech. While Beethoven wrote only one opera, he wrote multiple overtures for it, and the third of the series fully captures the joyful outcome of the story. Both recordings were taken from live in concerts held at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.
