Two live performances from his years as head of the Cleveland Orchestra.


Brahms' Piano Quartet in G minor, orchestrated by Schoenberg (the latter keeps the original melodies & harmonies, but uses the orchestra to clarify the textures of Brahms' music). A performance from 1989.


Alfred Schnittke: (K)ein Sommernachtstraum". This is a set of variations on Schnitkke's own "Gratulationsrondo", a piece in Mozartian style.
