Talk:Cleveland Orchestra

Untitled
"Of the "Big Five" orchestras of America, it is considered to be the most European." I've never heard this before -- can you point to a source? I should have thought that the Boston Symphony or Philadelphia Orchestra would be more "European" than the Cleveland Orchestra. Grover cleveland 17:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC)


 * The most recent authoratitive cite for that is the Feb. 7th 2005 New Yorker. Unfortunately, it doesn't have its archives available for free, but here's a brief excerpt from The Seattle Times:
 * While writer Charles Michener stopped just short of declaring the Cleveland the best orchestra in the country, he called it "the only one with a collective identity" and "the most 'European' of the American orchestras, the only one that is distinctive and refined enough to stand alongside the two pre-eminent European ensembles: the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic." --Arcadian 17:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Discography
The official SonyBMG Masterworks discography link for this artist is as follows


 * Discography at SonyBMG Masterworks

It (in most cases) contains a full listing of in-print CDs released on the SonyBMG labels within the US (for the moment), along with track listings and in some cases audio clips (which will become more robust in the new year). Ecommerce links are provided inobtrusively.

I have been informed that it creates a conflict of interest to post these links directly from my account, so please consider adding the page to the link section. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Softlord (talk • contribs) 22:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC).


 * The problem is, The Cleveland Orchestra has recorded for many different labels. It was associated with Columbia (now Sony) from the Rodzinski to the Maazel eras.  (Very little from Rodzinski's tenure has been issued on CD, but it should be, hint, hint.)  The orchestra has also recorded for Telarc, DG, and other labels.  To have a link to the Sony discography is not neutral.  Be that as it may, I have created a page for the Cleveland Orchestra Discography and have linked it to this page.THD3 (talk) 17:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

This article is really bad considering the importance of its subject. Anyone with the time and expertise to write something more complete? Markhh (talk) 22:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

"Acclaim in the Press" section
I question the significance of this section. The wikipages of similar comparable orchestras do not have such sections, so why is it needed here? TheFinalSay (talk) 16:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This sounds more like a press release than a serious NPOV article. A section disucssing the range of critical reactions to the orchestra would be okay, but a list of positive press blurbs seems frivolous. Markhh (talk) 17:10, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I will remove this section. TheFinalSay (talk) 09:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Infobox?
The infobox for the orchestra is, in my view, just about completely useless. "Associated acts"? What on earth would they be for an orchestra? "Associated organizations," maybe. And are the only members of the orchestra those listed here? Of course not. That template was designed for pop performers; the consensus at the classical music project here in WP-land has been to remove these boxes. I will do so unless there is a huge outcry within the next day or two. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 23:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Appearances
Nothing about them appearing on the Grand Funk Railroad song "Closer to Home"? I would think that would be worth mentioning for the sake of posterity. 71.168.150.196 (talk) 02:01, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
