Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Apr 27-29. Riccardo Muti leads Radu Lupu, who is "as close to being the embodiment of pure music as one can get" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), in Beethoven's noble Emperor Concerto. Liszt's Dante Symphony is a symphonic poem full of fire and fury that depicts Dante's Divine Comedy.
