A recent chicagosymphony performance attended by HedyWeissCritic 'was the musical equivalent of a religious experience.'
Violinist Julia Fischer joined Riccardo Muti and the CSO for a performance of Schumann’s “Violin Concerto” on Feb. 23.
Opening the concert was Schumann’s “Violin Concerto.” It was written in 1853, but, as the result of a complicated history, was not performed until 80 years after the composer’s 1856 death in a mental institution. The work began with a solemn tone but soon moved into a section of lyrical warmth and intensity, with Fischer’s golden tone launching into passages of sheer beauty that were so clear, expressive and thoughtful that her playing almost seemed to be a unique form of speech. And the orchestra, along with Muti’s crystalline conducting, connected ideally with her passionate, exquisitely controlled tone and wholly easeful, fluid playing of this most challenging piece.
Music director Riccardo Muti leads the orchestra in a performance of Tchaikovsky’s “Manfred Symphony.”
