Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Most leads his Cleveland Orchestra in a performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Divertimento No. 2 in D major, KV 131, and Arnold Schoenberg's Variations for Orchestra, Op. 31, recorded at Severance Hall in Cleveland, USA. In addition, Welser-Most takes a walk through "his" Vienna, enlightening us on this musical capital that was home to both Mozart and Schoenberg. He contrasts the Divertimento No. 2, written by 16-year-old Mozart, with Variations for Orchestra, by the mature Schoenberg.
