Performer: Robert Walters

Tugan Sokhiev memorably debuts with The Cleveland Orchestra to lead a recent concerto for English horn and Mahler’s Tragic.

John Adams returned to Cleveland to lead two of his own works – including the local première of Scheherazade.2 – framing Copland’s Quiet City and Appalachian Spring.

Bernard Rands' new concerto, with Robert Walters as soloist, the centerpiece of a concert that also included Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.

Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony and Hindemith’s Konzertmusik round out a very satisfying concert.

When Cleveland Orchestra music director Franz Welser-Möst had to bow out of this past weekend’s performances of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana due to a recent back injury, the orchestra’s talented young assistant conductor, James Feddeck, inherited a high-profile assignment. The set of four concerts had been heavily promoted and were sold out.
