The Cleveland Orchestra
The ARSC Grants Committee is pleased to announce the recipients of
the Grants for Preservation of Classical Music Historical Recordings.
The program for these grants was founded in 2004 by Al Schlachtmeyer
and the ARSC Board of Directors, to encourage and support the preservation
of historically significant sound recordings of Western Art Music by
individuals and organizations.
The Cleveland Orchestra has been awarded a grant of $10,000 for the orchestra's Archival Restoration Project, to help preserve the current sound archives of the orchestra: recordings of the Cleveland Orchestra subscription concerts from 1965 through the present. These include the last five years of George Szell's tenure as Music Director, the periods of leadership of Pierre Boulez, Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnányi, and the present director, Franz Welser-Most, as well as such guest conductors as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Sir Colin Davis, Antal Dorati, Rafael Kubelik, Yehudi Menuhin, André Previn, Leopold Stokowski, Klaus Tennstedt, and others.
