The excitement continues! The highly anticipated second CD by San Francisco Bay area’s celebrated New Century Chamber Orchestra and music director Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, one of the leading violinists of our time.

Recorded live at San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre, Nadja and the New Century present intense, powerful performances of Richard Strauss’s virtuosic pinnacle of string orchestral writing, Metamorphosen for 23 solo Strings; Samuel Barber’s beloved masterpiece, Adagio for Strings; and Gustav Mahler’s passionate love letter to his future wife - the Adagietto (for orchestra), from his Symphony No. 5.
