The Cleveland Orchestra, a member of the so-called American Big Five, is one of the most important symphonic institutions in the United States. It was still considered in 2020 the finest orchestra in the United States by the New York Times. It is inseparable from the figure of George Szell who contributed to its reputation during his 25-year mandate after the war, particularly in the German romantic repertoire. This collection includes Brahms’ violin and double concertos with David Oistrakh, Mstislav Rostropovich and George Szell, and the complete set of symphonies (plus some tone poems) by Christoph von Dohnányi, available for the first time on digital platforms!
