A Berliner Festspiele / Musikfest Berlin event

Concert | Musikfest Berlin 2022

The Cleveland Orchestra

Franz Welser-Möst, conductor
Rihm II | Schubert

No standing still. Instead, continuous transformation. The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst opens with two compositions by Wolfgang Rihm. His historical reminiscences in “Verwandlung 2” and “Verwandlung 3” sound both familiar and distorted at the same time, repeatedly leading Rihm back to Franz Schubert whose “Great” C major Symphony rounds off the concert.
