The second album from Franz Welser-Mo¨st on The Cleveland Orchestra’s in-house label pairs Schubert’s “Great” C Major Symphony with music by the 20th century Austrian-American composer Ernst Kr?enek. These recordings serve as a unique document of the Orchestra’s music-making, having been made only days before the coronavirus pandemic forced the temporary shuttering of Severance Hall. Schubert’s majestic “Great” C Major Symphony dates from 1825 and was premiered by Felix Mendelssohn in 1839. Kr?enek’s suite Static and Ecstatic is music of contrast and extremes, juxtaposing moments of strictly serial music with freely composed material.
