LineUp

San Francisco Symphony’s Grammy Award-winning in-house label, SFS Media, founded in 2001, produces and distributes acclaimed orchestral, choral, opera, and contemporary recordings featuring conductors Michael Tilson Thomas and Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Ludwig van Beethoven, a German composer and pianist from Bonn, bridged the Classical and Romantic eras with his innovative, emotionally intense music. Renowned for works like the "Moonlight Sonata," Fifth Symphony, and Ninth Symphony, he revolutionized instrumental music, elevating it to high art. He continued composing despite profound deafness.
Franz Schubert (1797-1828), born in Vienna, Austria, was a pivotal Austrian composer bridging Classical and Romantic eras. Renowned for lyrical melodies and emotional depth, he mastered Lieder, chamber music, and symphonies. His vast output includes "Ave Maria," "Erlkönig," and the "Unfinished Symphony." Schubert's timeless compositions are continually performed and recorded, profoundly influencing classical music.
Born in Massachusetts and raised in Sweden and Finland, conductor Herbert Blomstedt is renowned for Romantic and early 20th-century works, especially Scandinavian composers. A prizewinner and longtime director of major orchestras in Europe and the U.S., he’s recorded 125+ albums, noted for Brahms, Nielsen, Bruckner, and Berwald.
