The Cleveland Orchestra
Franz Welser-Möst

Long considered one of Americas great orchestras, The Cleveland Orchestra stands today among the worlds most-revered symphonic ensembles. Under their artistic director Franz Welser-Möst they have developed a sound that is perfectly suited to Bruckner: impressive without ever becoming bombastic. The trumpets and trombones blend into the orchestral sound with unparalleled brilliance, while the strings bring melodic intensity to the motivic material. On this DVD we are given a sample of that special sound in a recording of Bruckners final symphony. Welser-Mösts powerfully contoured and sharply profiled interpretation of Bruckners Ninth was recorded live in late October 2007 at the magnificent Golden Hall at Viennas Musikverein, just over a century after the works first performance in the very same hall in 1903. The concert was unanimously acclaimed by the press, which hailed the tremendous impact of Franz Welser-Mösts calm and intense conducting and the Cleveland Orchestras inimitable intonation and ensemble playing. In an 18-minute bonus film, the conductor introduces the viewer to the work, thus making the enjoyment of the concert performance even more fulfilling.
