In Reply to: Listened to the New Cleveland Orchestra on WCLV Webcast..... posted by Todd Krieger on May 6, 2007 at 15:38:41:
sounds like it's still a great orchestra, and the wall of sound issue may be the hall. I visited in 2000 once and it was like that in the back (missed the opening, had to stand in the back under the balcony) during the Schumann 2nd. Sitting 10 th row right of center in the orchestra level, the orchestra sounded different and more articulate. Brahms PC 2, Pollini cond. Dohnanyi.btw, I heard the Schumann 2nd broadcast on KUSC while driving on Sunday, done by the LA Phil. Nice but no where near distinctive performance.
