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.
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), a French composer of Swiss-Basque descent, is celebrated for his meticulous craftsmanship and masterful orchestration. Often associated with Impressionism, he blended classical forms with modernism, jazz, and Spanish influences. His iconic works include Boléro, Pavane pour une infante défunte, and the ballet Daphnis et Chloé. He remains one of France's most popular composers.
Richard Strauss, born in Munich, Germany, was a leading late Romantic and early Modern German composer and conductor. Renowned for his tone poems, including "Also sprach Zarathustra", and operas like "Der Rosenkavalier", he mastered orchestral and vocal composition. Strauss collaborated notably with librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal. He was also a successful conductor of orchestras and director of opera houses.
Karina Canellakis is an in-demand conductor known for emotionally charged performances, technical command, and interpretive depth. She is Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and RSB.
