Riccardo Muti and Yefim Bronfman
CSO Radio

Yefim Bronfman says he never wants the audience to think that Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto sounds difficult…although it is very challenging for the solo pianist. He performs the work with Maestro Muti, who also leads a symphony by Tchaikovsky and a Beethoven overture. Extended interviews with Bronfman about working with Maestro Muti, how composers such as Brahms dealt with the shadow of Beethoven, and the technical demands made on pianists in works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Ravel may be found below.

CSO Radio
Ingo Metzmacher dirigiert das Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berl

Each of the works on this concert connects with the great Russian city of St. Petersburg: one was premiered there, in 1892 (The Nutcracker), the plot of one is partially set in one of its civic fairs (Petrushka), and the other depicts a horrifying massacre in 1905 of civilians in the city’s palace square (Shostakovich’s Symphony Eleventh Symphony). German conductor Ingo Metzmacher conducts the concert, and you can find interviews with him and CSO violists John Bartholemew and Daniel Orbach below. Orbach’s grandfather was wounded in the scene depicted by Shostakovich before he escaped to the US, and Orbach tells that story in his interview. Bartholemew tells us more about the viola section’s unique part in this symphony, and CSO English horn discusses his role in the work.

Listen to the archived broadcast, recorded Friday, January 30 at 8 pm, with Riccardo Muti leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in a night out at sea as they perform pieces by Mendelssohn, Debussy and Scriabin.

Muti begins the program with Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage Overture, a piece inspired by Goethe’s poems Calm at Sea and The Prosperous Voyage, depicting a more personal rather than literal journey through “deathly” still waters.

The CSO continues the evening with Debussy’s La Mer, a symphonic portrait worked solely from the composer’s memory of summers spent in Cannes. Muti ends the program with Scriabin’s The Divine Poem a four-part tone poem without pause. With the sections translating to “Struggles,” “Delights,” and “Divine Play,” the bridge between a literal and metaphorical journey through ever-changing waters comes to a close.

This concert marks the first of three concerts by the CSO at Carnegie Hall this month. Muti has been music director of the CSO since 2010.

WQXR's Jeff Spurgeon co-hosts the broadcast with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi.

Mendelssohn: Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage Overture
