The Cleveland Orchestra presented Schubert's Mass No. 6 with music director Franz Welser-Most, soprano Joelle Harvey, mezzo-soprano Daryl Freedman, tenor Julian Pregardien, and bass-baritone Dashon Burton.

Zachary Lewis, reviewer for Cleveland.com says the juxtapositioning of Berg with Schubert is not just an interesting concept, but it "delivered on more than one level, proving surprisingly effective, casting each in fresh, revealing light."
