The Cleveland Orchestra is today possibly the finest symphony in America, with an absolutely gorgeous sound. Its rich recorded and performance heritage has continued through musical directors George Szell, Lorin Maazel, Christoph van Dohnanyi, and now Franz Welser-Most. Severance Hall, their jewelbox of a concert center, has been beautifully restored and offers the acoustic support the orchestra deserves. www.clevelandorchestra.com
