SYNOPSIS
The New York Times titled „Mahler´s Resurrection Manuscript Settles in Cleveland.

When it was first exhibited at Severance Hall, musical director Franz Welser-Möst conducted two performances of the piece and had this to say: “To see Mahler´s handwriting on the page and to follow his process, one feels even closer to the composer and to this masterpiece”.
