CSO Resound I normally don't link to CD reviews here, but this one has such heartfelt sentiments about the CSO and Chicago that I couldn't resist. " If there's any doubt of the orchestra's identity after the opening movement's first tutti fortissimo passage body slams you, the pristine, impossibly quiet clarinet duet a few minutes... later clinches it." Happy holidays!

Is there anyone we'd want to hear conduct a Verdi overture more than Riccardo Muti? No. The Rome Opera apparently feels the same way, but for entire Verdi operas, having announced that Muti will be Director starting in December, 2010. There he is below with the Overture to Nabucco, but not, ahem, with the CSO.
