Commentary: Michael Tilson Thomas charges ahead while in treatment for aggressive brain cancer
Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, who is fighting brain cancer, returns to the L.A. Phil this weekend for several performances of Mahler's Ninth Symphony.
You really have to commend his courage and fortitude for continuing to conduct at what must be a difficult time for him.
My thoughts and prayers are with him.
I have and enjoy the boxed LP set of his very well done Mahler cycle done with the SF Symphony. Its appropriate that he does the Ninth as It surely deep dives into the eternal questions of life,death and mortality.
