Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie Hall
"As music director of the splendid Cleveland Orchestra....
Franz Welser-Möst is remaking the orchestra in his own image,
savouring more warmth, perhaps, than Szell, and a bit less than
Dohnanyi." Bernheimer adds that Welser-Möst "has managed to
combine rare virtuosity with compelling finesse. Avoiding exaggeration
and refusing to acknowledge the possibility of vulgarity, he has
persuaded his musicians to perform as if chamber music
were a universal goal. Even in grandiose romantic
challenges, he seems to value clarity, balance and elegance above
all."
Financial Times (London), Feb. 03
Kent/Blossom Chamber Orchestra
"... the artists worked together to
nurture a unified, keenly expressive concept."
