The Cleveland Orchestra this month released its third live recording of Franz Welser Most conducting the music of his fellow countryman Anton Bruckner. The release of the DVD was timed to the orchestra's return to the Brucknerhaus in Welser Most's hometown of Linz, Austria during its recent international tour. This is the scherzo from Bruckner's Symphony No. 7, recorded at Severance Hall last September.
