“Christoph von Dohnányi was a superb conductor and Music Director, respected the world over,” said President and CEO of the Cleveland Orchestra André Gremillet in an online statement.
The announcement comes on the heels of the group’s sold-out inaugural 2024-25 season, which saw performances by the Dover Quartet, Nois Saxophone Quartet, and the Black Oak Ensemble.
The prolific pianist, writer, and composer leaves behind a profound recording catalog and legacy with hundreds of albums released between the 1950s and the 2000s.
A pair of albums showcase clarinetists Andreas and Daniel Ottensamer, we hear a lost recording from 20th century piano virtuoso Sviatoslav Richter, plus new recordings from conductors Klaus Mäkelä and William Christie.
