It also confirms his affinity for Russian music-he obviously relishes Prokofiev's folk-inspired tunes. At 78 mi. this is much more generous than other collections that pair Prokofiev's two Suites from Romeo and Juliet.

Michael Tilson Thomas (known colloquially as "MTT") became music director in 1995, coming from the London Symphony Orchestra. Thomas had guest conducted the orchestra as far back as 1974, and already had a relationship with the musicians. Like Ozawa, Thomas ensured that the orchestra played more American music and this has been carried through to its recordings, for RCA/BMG and its own label SFS Media. In May 2015, MTT and the SFS released a live recording of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture, followed by another release in August 2015 - a live audio recording of Absolute Jest and Grand Pianola Music by John Adams. The album contains the first-ever recording of Absolute Jest, originally commissioned by the SF Symphony and premiered in 2012 during the orchestra's American Mavericks festival.

A conscientious and meticulous conductor, Tilson Thomas has taken great pains to get sonorities and shadings as close as possible to Tchaikovsky's written intentions, and there is no worry of excessive emoting or distortions of the music for questionable programmatic effects.
