Conductor Franz Welser-Möst reflects on the transformative role of both live and recorded music in his development as a young artist, offering personal insight into the power of the concert experience. With The Cleveland Orchestra, he brings this perspective to Prokofiev's Symphony No.6, a deeply moving work composed in the aftermath of World War II.
Often overshadowed by the composer's more lively works, "Symphony No.6" stands as one of Profiev's most profound and emotionally charged creations. From tense, driving rhythms to moments of aching lyricism, the symphony grapples with themes of loss, resilience, and hope. Welser-Möst guides the audience through the piece's complex structure, illuminating the historical context and emotional depth that make this a cornerstone of the 20th century's symphonic repertoire.
