CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA | RICCARDO MUTI Music Director | 312-294-3000 | <strong>CSO</strong>.ORG<br />
5<br />
T<br />
he music of Tchaikovsky inhabits a world of melody and dreams that reaches westward for its<br />
form, but mines the riches of the composer’s inner life and Russian homeland for its emotional<br />
strength and distinctive color.<br />
Music Director Riccardo Muti leads all seven of Tchaikovsky’s monumental symphonies. Sweeping<br />
in scale and imbued with heartbreakingly beautiful melodies, these masterpieces journey from bold<br />
proclamations of epic consequence to whispered confidences of drawing-room intimacy.<br />
These passionate, reflective pillars of the Romantic repertoire are brought into provocative<br />
conversation with early 20th-century works by fellow genius Alexander Scriabin. (See the Season<br />
Highlight on page 18 for more about Scriabin.)<br />
