Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Apr 13-15. Charles Dutoit conducts a moving Easter weekend program that culminates in a presentation of Faure's beloved Requiem, "one of the most sublime works in the sacred classical canon" (BBC Music). Wagner's serene Good Friday Music offers a striking contrast with Honegger's World War II-inspired Liturgique Symphony.
