Carnegie Hall Presents Chicago Symphony Orchestra: Glass, Mendelssohn, Strauss
$169
- Riccardo Muti, conductor
Felix Mendelssohn — Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90 "Italian"
Richard Strauss — Aus Italien ("From Italy"), Op. 16
Revered conductor Riccardo Muti leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Felix Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony, Richard Strauss's Aus Italien, and a New York premiere by Philip Glass inspired by Italy and written to honor Muti. Mendelssohn's sunny Fourth Symphony is a hugely popular work, and it serves as a companion piece to Strauss's rarely heard "symphonic fantasy," last performed at Carnegie Hall nearly 50 years ago. In both pieces, the great German composers distill eye-opening travels across Italy into wonderfully evocative music.
