1h 17m
SCHUBERT C-major Symphony, “The Great”
KRENEK Static and Ecstatic
Schubert’s symphonic masterpiece, his C-major Symphony “the Great” is offset with a uniquely modern work by 20th-century composer Ernst Křenek, “Static and Ecstatic” — The Cleveland Orchestra’s final two performances before the pandemic silenced concerts around the world. Franz Welser-Möst reflects, “In the midst of changing circumstances, as the world itself was revolving in one direction and slowing down in so many other ways, these two pieces suddenly became an unlikely but obvious twosome.”
Recorded live in Mandel Concert Hall in March 2020.
