| 23-Mar-2013 Severance Hall | Alan Gilbert leads Cleveland Orchestra in Ravel's Mother Goose and Mahler's mighty Seventh |
 Alan Gilbert, Music Director of the New York Philharmonic, was an unexpected guest this past weekend at Severance Hall. Pierre Boulez had been announced as the guest conductor, but a few weeks ago he was forced to cancel his appearance for medical reasons. Mr Gilbert, who was an assistant conductor to Christoph von Dohnányi in Cleveland in the 1990s, was engaged to take Boulez’s place, and the announced program remained: Ravel’s complete Ma mère l’oye (“Mother Goose”) ballet music and Mahler’s Symphony no. 7.Read full review... | |
