Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Mar 31-Apr 2. Finnish conductor Susanna Malkki conjures Rimsky-Korsakov's hauntingly melodious and stunningly orchestrated evocation of several tales told by the legendary heroine Sheherazade, represented by a dazzling solo violin. The violin takes center stage again as Gil Shaham plays Bartok's folksy Violin Concerto No. 2. Debussy's quirky Gigues, based on the well-known English sailor's chorus "The Keel Row," rounds out this colorful program.
