What is it like to start writing a new piece of music after you have composed many? As a conductor, how does one tackle an unknown piece by a young composer, or revisit a well-known piece of music by a familiar composer? Begin Again explores the experience of first-time musical encounters as Franz Welser-Möst leads The Cleveland Orchestra in the world premiere performance of Bernd Richard Deutsch’s Intensity, and Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony.
