Has the beginning of the end really already arrived?” It has become one of the most popular orchestral works of all time.

The Cleveland Orchestra (Orchestra), Franz Welser-Möst (Conductor)
The “most European” of America’s “Big Five” orchestras shuttles back and forth between the continents under its Principal Conductor Franz Welser-Möst: in America, John Adams takes inspiration from the curiosities of French Provence (“Guide to Strange Places”), while in Paris, Sergei Prokofiev is inspired by the industrial landscapes of America in his mighty Second Symphony.
