Moest's first recording with the Cleveland Orchestra will be with a work that I think its past conductors have underachieved on recording. (I think Szell's Beethoven 9 is vastly overrated.) If nothing else, the Beethoven Nine is an acid test for any conductor, known or not. And it's also a work that one can critique the conductor and orchestra separately.DG IMO has made the best-sounding CD with the Cleveland Orchestra that I've experienced- Debussy's "La Mer" with Pierre Boulez. It's maybe in my top five for classical CDs.
The other thing I will hold my breath on is how much the Orchestra has changed since last hearing it. It could be something special, or it could be something totally indistinguished. Only time will tell. (I'm most-interested to hear its renovated hall, although recordings almost never give a true account of a hall's character.) I will post a review, be it good, bad, or ugly.
