Summary: Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO May 1-3. Tchaikovsky's haunting Pathetique heads a program of some of the most affecting and heart-felt music ever composed. Beethoven's Third Concerto, played by critically acclaimed British pianist Paul Lewis, shows the first ripening of his distinctive brand of lyricism, most ravishingly in its central slow movement.
