Artist Information:
"The San Francisco Symphony remains one of the world's most immaculate ensembles," says The Guardian. The brilliant ensemble is joined by German violinist Christian Tetzlaff, "a dependably excellent musician, always fusing brain and heart with racing fingers and a huge range of dynamics" (The Times, London).
