About the Music
Snider Something for the Dark
ADAMS Century Rolls
SIBELIUS Symphony No. 1
Sibelius’s First Symphony opens with mystery — the breathy sound of a single clarinet gradually joined by the distant rumbling of timpani — giving way to gorgeous, romantic, searching melodies. Century Rolls, commissioned and recorded by The Cleveland Orchestra, was inspired by the old piano roll music of the 1920’s: “The concerto takes a kind of polymorphous-perverse pleasure in the whole past century of piano music, both popular and classical.”
Performing Artists
The Cleveland Orchestra
David Robertson, conductor
Conrad Tao, piano
With the Kent Blossom Chamber Orchestra
