Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 8 (2021)
Gustav Mahler’s mighty Eighth Symphony can be heard in a revelatory interpretation from Gustavo Dudamel, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Pacific Chorale, Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, National Children’s Chorus, and a masterful assembly of solo voices, recorded live at Walt Disney Concert Hall in a landmark performance that brought the LA Phil’s centennial season to a triumphant conclusion in 2019.
All Things Common (2020)
Robert Istad conducts Pacific Chorale and Salastina in choral music by Tarik O’Regan. This recording traces Tarik’s distinctive development as a composer. We present never-recorded works from twenty years ago alongside new compositions written for this project. Tarik’s ingenuity speaks definitively throughout, and I believe our album serves as a testament to his exceptional voice.
William Bolcom: Canciones de Lorca; Prometheus (2015)
Championed by pianist Jeffrey Biegel, who performs here with Pacific Chorale and Pacific Symphony, Bolcom’s Prometheus sets the poetry of Lord Byron for piano, chorus, and orchestra. Carl St.Clair conducts.
The Radio Hour (2015)
A lonely woman named Nora turns on her radio one evening and discovers something magical in composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer’s whimsical choral opera, co-commissioned and premiered by Pacific Chorale. The recording also features acclaimed mezzo-soprano Susan Graham in Heggie’s settings of texts by Emily Dickinson and Amy Lowell.
