ONE FIVE THAT WON
The Philadelphia Orchestra and Christoph Eschenbach have a long and triumphant association with the music of Shostakovich. In their newest release, they perform the epic and monumental Symphony No. 5, which received rave reviews for the live performances on this recording.
An added bonus of this CD is the song cycle Seven Romances on Poems of Alexander Blok, which has been characterized as having a Mahlerian perspective on life and death. The cycle features mezzo-soprano Yvonne Naef and members of The Philadelphia Orchestra, accompanied by Christoph Eschenbach on piano.

WHEN VISION AND VIRTUOSITY MEET!
For this, their third CD release together, Christoph Eschenbach leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in Mahler's monumental Sixth Symphony - an orchestral and intellectual tour de force.
This release also has an added bonus, as it is coupled with Mahler's relatively unknown Piano Quartet, a work composed when Mahler was only sixteen years old. Here it is performed by members of The Philadelphia Orchestra with Christoph Eschenbach at the piano. A true discovery.
