The Cleveland Orchestra, based in Cleveland, is one of the five American orchestras informally referred to as the "Big Five". Founded in 1918 by the pianist and impresario Adella Prentiss Hughes, the orchestra plays most of its concerts at Severance Hall. As of 2017, the incumbent music director is Franz Welser-Möst.

Coinciding with the orchestra’s centenary in 2018, Sony Classical is excited to announce one of the most ambitious reissue projects of recent times, a comprehensive collection of the Clevelanders recordings made under the baton of their iconic fourth music director. These span the period between 1947 a year after Szell (born in Budapest in 1897) inherited a fine provincial orchestra from Erich Leinsdorf and began transforming it into the elite ensemble it remains to this day and 1969, a year before his sudden death shocked the musical world.

Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Weber. Paul Hindemith Composer. Christoph von Dohnányi Conductor. Leoš Janáček Composer. There’s also Varèse’s Ecuatorial and Janá¶ek’s Sinfonietta‚ a 1998 performance that I prefer to Szell’s overemphatic Sony recording from 1965. Finally‚ Alfred Schnittke’s weirdly oscillating (K)ein Sommernachtstraum – a sort of Mozartean pastische that turns nasty – bizarrely sandwiched between Franck’s Symphony and Sibelius’s Fifth.
