"Between 1972 and 1982 Maazel was Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra and between 1973-79 made a series of recordings for Decca - all of which are collected here.

The repertory includes many orchestral spectaculars and Decca's first recording in Cleveland, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, is one of the very best and a recording which has achieved reference status. ".. The precision of The Cleveland Orchestra is little short of miraculous. the recording is one of Decca's most spectacular, searingly detailed but atmospheric too." [The Penguin Guide] Another highlight of Maazel's Decca / Cleveland discography is the 1975 recording of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. This was the first complete stereo recording of the work and Gramophone was lavish in its praise: " The actual sound quality is amazingly vivid. the sound remains electrically brilliant with the brass and percussion superbly caught. his masterpiece has at last been so triumphantly presented on record. It is above all a triumph for Lorin Maazel, arguably his richest recorded performance to date."
