Muti Conducts Mazzoli & Mahler with Elīna Garanča by Various, T 05 apr 2022, Alates (2022/2022), Dirigent Riccardo Muti, Symphony Center Chicago, Chicago, United States

Riccardo Muti leads the world premiere of Orpheus Undone by the CSO’s former Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli, whose works are celebrated for their raw emotional authenticity. Also on the program are works by two late-Romantic titans. Bruckner’s awe-inspiring Second Symphony is a perfect companion piece to Mahler’s intimate Rückert-Lieder, sung by Elīna Garanča, whose voice “is one in a million, allying grace and power to a commanding authority” (The Independent).
