Richly Expressive

The Cleveland Orchestra begins its
annual South Florida residency,
by LAWRENCE BUDMEN

 

The Cleveland Orchestra returned to Miami, Florida, USA for the first part of its annual South Florida residency with concerts at the Adrienne Arsht Center's Knight Concert Hall on 28 and 29 January 2011. At this point, praising this great orchestra's corporate luster, superbly disciplined ensemble and stellar first chair players may seem redundant, but playing of such superior quality remains astounding at every concert.

Is there a piece that so fits the Cleveland Orchestra like a glove as Richard Strauss' Ein Heldenleben?..
