The Cleveland Orchestra - The Cleveland Orchestra: Centennial Concert

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. Franz Welser-M�st has also conducted The Cleveland Orchestra in a series of acclaimed video and audio productions, further enhancing the ensemble�s storied recorded legacy. At the Anniversary Gala on September 29, 2018, documented in the present video recording, he programmed works touching on more than a century of Viennese musical traditions. Opening with Mozart�s Piano Concerto No. 24, featuring soloist Lang Lang, a regular collaborator with the orchestra since 2000, it also includes works by Richard and Johann Strauss, concluding with Ravel�s cataclysmic La Valse.
