About

The Cleveland Orchestra's concert was recorded under the baton of Cleveland music director Franz Welser-Möst, at their January 2007 concerts in Severance Hall, the orchestra’s magnificent home.

Of their interpretation of the Ninth, the Miami Herald wrote: “One would expect Welser-Möst and the Cleveland Orchestra to put on an impressive display in the music of Beethoven. But the soaring, eloquent performance heard Friday night was remarkable even by the Clevelanders' elevated reputation.”

In the symphony’s finale, The Cleveland Orchestra is joined by the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and four outstanding vocalists, all with connections to DG:

Making her DG debut is Measha Brueggergosman. She sings alongside the celebrated German bass, René Pape, another DG exclusive artist. Two American singers complete the line-up: mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor has been garnering widespread critical acclaim for her starring role in Deutsche Grammophon's 2007 Grammy®-winning recording of Osvaldo Golijov’s opera Ainadamar, while Frank Lopardo, one of today’s most distinguished lyric tenors, has already been featured on numerous important DG recordings.

In his first DG recording project is Franz Welser-Möst. This Austrian-born maestro is in constant demand by the world’s leading concert and opera organizations. His extensive discography includes a number of award-winning recordings.
