About
The latest release by CSO Resound features Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a compelling performance of Bruckner’s formidable Ninth Symphony. Left unfinished at the time of the composer’s death in 1896, it is an immense work that continuously unfolds with its stirring climaxes, daring chromaticism and harmonic richness. It is here perfectly executed by the CSO, long-since admired for its interpretations of Bruckner, and holding the distinction of having given the American premiere of the Ninth Symphony in 1904. Muti brings remarkable lyricism to this dramatic work in a performance embodying the exceptional synergy between the distinguished maestro and the CSO. Riccardo Muti, born in Naples, Italy, is one of the preeminent conductors of our day. In 2010, when he became the 10th music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), he already had more than 40 years of experience at the helm of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Philharmonia Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra and Teatro alla Scala. During his time with the CSO, Muti has won over audiences in greater Chicago and across the globe through his music-making as well as his demonstrated commitment to sharing classical music. His annual free concerts for the city of Chicago attract tens of thousands of people.
