Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Oct 8-13. Conductor Semyon Bychkov brings an imaginative program inspired by Johannes Brahms. His triumphant First Symphony is coupled with a modern-day reflection of Brahms' work by one of Germany's leading composers, Detlev Glanert. French violinist Renaud Capucon, praised for his "intensely lyrical" tone and "gloriously rich sound" (BBC Music Magazine), is the soloist in Brahms' invigorating and heavenly Violin Concerto.
