SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
A reviewer once called Denis Matsuev the “virtuosic Hercules of the Steinway.” The popular and powerful pianist returns for Tchaikovsky’s gorgeous concerto, featuring extensive violin and cello solos for the CSO’s principal players. Tüür’s plaintive homage and Mahler’s First Symphony, known for its spectacular sonic effects, bookend the program.
