with David Mellor.
The Cleveland Orchestra is the youngest of America's top orchestras, but from the start in 1918 the citizens wanted nothing less than the best. Christoph von Dohnanyi and Lorin Maazel (music directors present and past), players and critics explain how a post-industrial city created and sustains a great orchestra.
