Getting ready for the end of San Francisco Symphony's 101st season this month, turn your attention to the internet, where there is a wealth of SFS performances.
Let's begin with the last, centennial, season whose gala opening featured Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas leading a performance of John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
An amazing free recording online is the entire MTT/SFS performance at the Proms of Mahler's Seventh Symphony in Royal Albert Hall.
From the Keeping Score series, watch the second movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 featuring SFS principal oboe Bill Bennett (1956-2013).
Very timely this week, as the orchestra is giving four concerts of Stravinsky's music, watch the MTT/SFS performance of The Rite of Spring.
