A special tribute to honor Kurt Masur’s tenure at the New York Philharmonic!

Contains works that the Maestro has never before recorded as well as three World Premieres and a U.S. Premiere.
"Kurt Masur's great success in New York has been to instill amongst the musicians a corporate direction and pride…he and the Philharmonic were the right match at the right time. To an increasingly frenetic, overstated world, the Maestro's music-making provides a welcome sanity, coupled with a strong vein of lyricism…his choices come from a passionate conviction in the humanistic power of music to heal. It's only fitting that this 10-CD set consists of several of his finest concert performances in honor of his music directorship."
-- Sedgwick Clark, Editor, Musical America
