Recorded in the same great hall where it received its premiere in 1903, Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony lives on in this performance by Franz Wesler-Möst and the Cleveland Symphony in the Vienna Musikverein. For this powerfully contoured and sharply profiled interpretation, Wesler-Möst guides the ensemble without spectacular effects, instead preferring to showcase the concentrated, lean textured sound of the Cleveland Orchestra. The concert was unanimously acclaimed by the press, who hailed the “tremendous impact” of Franz Wesler-Möst’s calm and intense conducting and the Cleveland Orchestra’s inimitable intonation and ensemble playing.
