Edinburgh International Festival: Cleveland Orchestra/Welser-M枚st
The Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by Franz Welser-Most, play Ives and Bruckner's Eighth Symphony at the 2010 Edinburgh International Festival.
The Cleveland Orchestra at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010. Once viewed as iconoclastic, Ives is now seen as the father of American music. From the Steeples and Mountains paints a picture of a quiet Sunday morning and ends having ascended the highest of craggy peaks. The magnificence of the Usher Hall's organ can be heard in Joela Jones's performance of two of Ives's works for organ; his Variations on America and Postlude in F.
Bruckner's Eighth Symphony is one of his grandest. Hugo Wolf, who attended the Vienna premiere, wrote that it was 'the work of a giant'. Here it receives what one critic described as "an epic account, with an impressive combination of power and delicacy".
First presented by Petroc Trelawny on 20th September 2010.
