Symphony No. 7

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
With the mighty build-ups and monumental fortissimi of Bruckners Seventh, Welser-Möst and his Clevelanders have their work cut out for them. And they do not disappoint. The most popular, and perhaps most easily accessible, of Bruckners symphonies, the Seventh casts its spell on the audience with its clear-cut architecture and the wealth and fullness of its melodies. From the sweeping opening theme of the first movement to the victorious chords of the finale, the Cleveland Orchestra and its conductor deliver a magisterial reading of Bruckners masterpiece. Clevelands Severance Hall is the venue for this performance. This hall, an eclectic yet elegant mix of Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Classicism, Egyptian Revival and Modernism was inaugurated in 1931 and is still hailed today as one of the worlds most beautiful concert halls. The Cleveland Orchestra, founded in 1918, began its ascent to the upper ranks of the worlds ensembles after it moved to Severance Hall in 1931.

REVIEW
Calm and composure are his trademarks, along with a supple, elegant, and exemplarily precise beating which should not be confused with distance and coolness. Again and again, lightning bolts of violent attaccas leap forth to set bold accents, build up towering mountains of sound, or to aim for monumental heights. --Viennas Die Presse
