Recorded live at the Carnegie Hall New York in October 2006, the programme includes Mozart's beloved Piano Concerto No. 17, performed by acclaimed pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, and selections from the composer's opera Le Nozze di Figaro with soprano Dorothea Röschmann, the Light Cavalry Overture by Franz von Suppé, and to cap off the evening, Artist's Life, Annen-Polka, and the Overture to Die Fledermaus by the Waltz King, Johann Strauss Jr. Long considered one of Americas greatest orchestras, The Cleveland Orchestra has joined the ranks of the worlds most celebrated symphonic ensembles. It has a long standing commitment to the internationally successful conductor Franz Welser-Möst.
