Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Mar 24-26. Denis Matsuev tackles Rachmaninov's noble and demanding Piano Concerto No. 3 under legendary Russian conductor Yuri Temirkanov. Balancing this is Brahms' sunniest symphony, No. 2 in D Major. "Temirkanov told stories in music. Everything was direct, vivid and full of character" (The New York Times).
