Work: Scènes de ballet, for orchestra

In his first Cleveland Orchestra engagement since 2006, MTT offered a powerful Russian evening of Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky and a Prokofiev concerto with Daniil Trifonov.

MTT and the CSO were energetic partners from Stravinsky's obscure Scènes de ballet to Prokofiev's familiar Romeo and Juliet, and a Saint-Saëns cello concerto with Gautier Capuçon served as a sumptuous interlude.
