Never heard of the Cleveland Symphony ... do you mean The Cleveland Orchestra, perhaps?

I'm waiting for GBK's prodigeous (sp?) knowledge to come into play here ... (hint hint)

What do you think of the new principal conductor- Franz Welser-Möst?

Welser-Möst has gotten almost universal bad press, both in Cleveland and on tour. The best I've seen is along the lines of "we have to wait for him and the orchestra to get used to each other." But then Dohnányi's press was not much better, Gergiev is getting savaged at the Metropolitan Opera, and the contempt for Maazel in New York is barely concealed.
The Welser-Möst broadcasts and recordings I've heard have been fine, though not striking. In 30 years, he'll probably be an icon.
Best regards.
