| 2-Mar-2013 Severance Hall | Christoph von Dohnányi returns to Cleveland for autumnal performances of Henze and Mahler |
 Christoph von Dohnányi was Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra from 1984 to 2002 and now holds the title Music Director Laureate. He paid a rare return visit to Severance Hall this weekend to conduct works by Hans Werner Henze and Gustav Mahler, composers with whom Dohnányi is closely associated. Judging from the full house on Saturday, 2 March, and the response of both orchestra and audience, it was a welcome return.

| 15-Feb-2013 The Royal Conservatory of Music, TELUS Centre, Koerner Hall | The Royal Conservatory Orchestra goes big with Handel and Mahler in Toronto |

It has been praised for razor-sharp rendering of the sounds of soloists like guitarist John Williams, divas like Anne Sofie von Otter and Dee Dee Bridgewater, quartets like the Kronos and Takács, chamber orchestras such as the 28 strings of Gergiev’s Stradivarius Ensemble.Read full review... | |

What strengths they are, too. This orchestra generates a uniquely warm sound, maintains scrupulously clean textures, and possesses technical skills that surpass even the finest of other orchestras.Read full review... | |
