September 19 - Muti Conducts Verdi and Brahms




CSO Audio Program Notes show

Summary: Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO September 19. Music Director Riccardo Muti leads Giuseppe Verdi's powerful ballet music from Macbeth in honor of the opera composer's bicentennial and rounds the concert off with the sunniest of Brahms's symphonies, which opens with horns rising like the dawn over brooding lower strings.
