Summary: Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Feb 14-17. Spanish conductor Pablo Heras-Casado leads a program of Russian masterworks including Tchaikovsky's First Symphony, which showcases the composer's sense of drama, orchestral color and melody. Simon Trpčeski brings his “electrifying virtuosity” (The London Times) to Rachmaninov’s formidable Third Piano Concerto.
