---- 2008 ARSC PRESERVATION GRANTS AWARD ----

The ARSC Preservation Grants Committee is pleased to announce the recipient
of the Grants for Preservation of Classical Music Historical Recordings. The
program for these grants was founded in 2004 by Al Schlachtmeyer and the
ARSC Board of Directors, to encourage and support the preservation of
historically significant sound recordings of Western Art Music by
individuals and organizations.

-- The Cleveland Orchestra --

The Cleveland Orchestra was awarded $10,000 for its Archival Restoration
Project. The project preserves the current sound archives of the orchestra,
consisting of recordings of the Cleveland Orchestra subscription concerts,
from 1965 through the present. These include the last five years of George
Szell's tenure as Music Director, and the periods of leadership of Pierre
Boulez, Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnanyi, and Franz Welser-Most, the
present director. Recordings made under guest conductors, such as Vladimir
Ashkenazy, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Sir Colin Davis, Antal Dorati,
Rafael Kubelik, Yehudi Menuhin, Andre Previn, Leopold Stokowski, and Klaus
Tennstedt, are also part of the archives.
