Riccardo Muti et Chicago, un couple légendaire à la Philharmonie

Dans un programme « italien » qui associait la création française d'une œuvre de Glass à des partitions de Mendelssohn et Strauss, le chef et l'orchestre ont montré leur singularité.

Chicago et Muti à la Philharmonie : puissance et robustesse !

Augustin Javel, 17th January

Le Chicago Symphony Orchestra et Riccardo Muti ont montré tout leur savoir-faire dans une soirée Wagner-Hindemith-Dvořák éclatante – quoique parfois clinquante.

Un triomphe pour Muti à Pleyel

Constance Clara Guibert, 26th October

Des bravos fusaient déjà à l’entrée de Muti sur scène. Plongés dans un Oiseau de feu légendaire, fascinant, évident, puis littéralement soulevés par un bis patriotique chargé de sens et d'énergie, les spectateurs de Pleyel ne se remettront pas aisément de la venue du maestro.

Graham Meyer, 19th February

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Music Director Designate juxtaposes his Finnish countryman's music on their shared national epic, the Kalevala, with the heroic life limned in the tone poem of Richard Strauss.

Matthew Aucoin’s Song of the Reappeared premieres in Chicago

Graham Meyer, 4th December

A strong world premiere of Aucoin's evocative and immediate Song of the Reappeared, a concerto for voice written for soprano Julia Bullock which sets vivid imagery by a poet who suffered under authoritarianism.

Graham Meyer, 20th November

The Austrian conductor's loudest fortes and softest pianos pull together a dramatic arc from the Requiem, other Mozart works and chant. But it's not really a funeral.
