This was the most amazing performance by my favorite symphony in the world. Don't ever miss the chance to hear them. What was totally embarassing was the way the Pacific Symphony representative introduced these musicians and the orchestra. He said "oh yeah, you, too, welcome guys." I am not kidding. The best orchestra in the world is on stage, and that is all he can come up with? I was embarassed to be associated with Pacific Symphony and the Philharmonic Society. Get someone else to introduce guest orchestras, for goodness sake! Shameful!

The Cleveland Smyphony lived up to its reputation.The Finnih composer's piece was quite strange to my ears, but hearing it ONCE was a broadening esperience. Either of the other symphonies were alonean evening well spent!

Only attended the last part on Shashtakovitch piece which was played beautifully. Very enthusiastic audience that gave standing ovation in hopes of encore that did not happen.

Description

Program:
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56, Scottish
Saariaho: Orion
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 54

Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Franz Welser-Möst became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010. In July 2011, the Bruckner Society of America awarded him the Julio Kilenyi Medal of Honor, due to his long-standing advocacy of the music of Bruckner.

The 2011-12 season marks the tenth year of the Orchestra's partnership with Franz Welser-Möst. Together they have earned the orchestra unprecedented residencies in the United States and in Europe, including a biennial residency at the prestigious Musikverein concert hall in Vienna—the first of its kind by an American orchestra.
