The first of two concerts by the mighty Cleveland Orchestra presents composing legends side by side. Iconoclastic Ives is now seen as the father of American music. From the Steeples and Mountains paints a picture of a quiet Sunday morning and ends having ascended the highest of craggy peaks. The magnificence of the Usher Hall's organ can be heard in Joela Jones's performance of two of Ives's works for organ. Bruckner's Eighth Symphony is one of his grandest. Also known as The Apocalyptic, it delivers lavish and magnificent orchestral sound. Hugo Wolf, who attended the Vienna premiere, wrote that it was ‘the work of a giant'. Duration: 2hrs 15mins
