Cleveland Orchestra discography

Cleveland Orchestra discography

The Cleveland Orchestra, which was founded in 1918, was first recorded in 1924. Most of the orchestra's recordings have been made either in its concert home, Severance Hall, or in nearby Masonic Auditorium.

Recording labels

The Cleveland Orchestra's first recording, of Brahms' Hungarian Dance in G minor, was made for the Brunswick label, under its first music director, Nikolai Sokoloff.[1]

Under Artur Rodziński, the orchestra was signed to the Columbia Masterworks label. This association continued under successors Erich Leinsdorf, George Szell, and Lorin Maazel. Some of the orchestra's recordings with Szell were initially released by Columbia's budget sub-label, Epic.

With the advent of the digital recording process, the orchestra began collaborating with the locally-based audiophile label, Telarc. This association, as well as one with Decca, began under Maazel and continued under his successor, Christoph von Dohnányi.

The orchestra has also been recorded under several guest conductors, including Pierre Boulez, who was musical advisor to the orchestra from 1970–1972, and Vladimir Ashkenazy.

In the wake of reduced demand for Classical recordings from the late-1990s onward, the orchestra's recording activity was reduced. A project to record Wagner's complete Ring cycle, under Dohnányi, was not completed.

Despite this setback, the orchestra has continued to make a limited number of recordings in the 21st Century. In 2007, the orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst recorded Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for Deutsche Grammophon. In addition, pianist Mitsuko Uchida is undertaking a series of Mozart Piano Concertos for the Decca label.

Premiere recordings

The Cleveland Orchestra has long been known for performing newer music. Some notable world premiere recordings include:

  • Sergei Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 2 (abridged) (Nikolai Sokoloff, conductor)
  • Alban Berg: Violin Concerto (Artur Rodziński, conductor/Louis Krasner, violin)[2]
  • John Adams: Century Rolls (Christoph von Dohnányi, conductor/Emanuel Ax, pianist)
  • Harrison Birtwistle: Sonance Severance 2000 (Christoph von Dohnányi, conductor)

Discography

The discography below is not comprehensive, but rather representative.[3] The listing only contains Compact Disc releases and does not contain 78rpm, LP, Cassette, or 8-track tape releases. In addition to recordings issued on major labels, it includes limited edition releases on the orchestra's private label. The Cleveland Orchestra's complete discography up to 2000 can be found in Donald Rosenberg's book, The Cleveland Orchestra Story – Second to None.
