Performed by The Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra

Founded in 1900, The Philadelphia Orchestra hasdistinguished itself as one of the leading orchestras in the worldthrough a century of acclaimed performances, historic internationaltours, best-selling recordings, and its unprecedented record ofinnovation in recording technologies and outreach. The Orchestra hasmaintained an unparalleled unity in artistic leadership with only sixmusic directors piloting its first century: Fritz Scheel (1900-07),Carl Pohlig (1907-12), Leopold Stokowski (1912-41), Eugene Ormandy(1936-80), Riccardo Muti (1980-92), and Wolfgang Sawallisch (1993-2003).

This tradition is carried on by Christoph Eschenbach, who became music director in 2003.
The2007-08 season, Mr. Eschenbach’s last, focuses on monumental works ofthe symphonic repertoire, including Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 (“Symphonyof a Thousand”), Orff’s Carmina burana, and Richard Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony.
