Performer: Chicago Symphony Chorus

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Music Director Designate, still two years from taking charge, shows himself in command of the whole toolbox available from a great Mahler orchestra. 

Riccardo Muti selects Beethoven’s daunting Missa solemnis for his final performance as Music Director of the Chicago Symphony, a performance that proves worthy of his remarkable tenure.

Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Chicago Symphony Chorus made this evening truly distinctive.
