On a brief tour of the US, the Cleveland Orchestra and Christoph von Dohnányi returned, for the second time in the season, to the Bushnell Memorial Auditorium in Hartford, where the soloist was Franklin Cohen, the orchestra’s principal clarinettist since 1976 (he retired at the end of 2014). Playing the Debussy Rhapsody a few days later at Carnegie Hall, Cohen was praised for a ‘dreamy, liquid-toned performance’ by the New York Times: ‘Under Mr. Dohnányi’s direction, Mr. Cohen made this undervalued score into an affecting tone poem, not a mere parading of instrumental virtuosity.’
