Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Bernard Haitink Recorded live in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center in Chicago on October 18,
19, 20, and 23, 2007 “If the performance didn't quite move me in the way that Gergiev did, or before him Jansons (LSO Live), Abbado (DG) and Tilson Thomas (San Francisco Symphony), it may be the fault of the recording, which is perhaps better at capturing detail (the harps and celesta sound particularly well focused) than impressing with its sonic impact.” The Telegraph, 31st May 2008 “Mahler's massive Symphony No. 6 is played by Haitink and the CSO with a transparency, even a delicacy, that seems to stop time.” Chicago Sun-Times Concert Review “A powerful sense of drama pervades Haitink's draining account of Mahler's Tragic Symphony, the Sixth, a stunning testament to the Dutchman's reign as principal conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
His Chicago musicians take on new character with each increasingly vivid episode, from the hungry chomp-chomp of the opening to the golden serenity of the Andante. The Scherzo grunts, cackles and laughs through the blasé horn, although the cod-baroque strings could have more comic lightness. The massive finale is dominated by the mental image of the solemn, executioner-like percussionist with his huge mallet moving slowly towards the wooden box of fate.” The Times, 10th May 2008 **** |

| |  | Traditions & TransformationsSounds of Silk Road Chicago
Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Wu Man (pipa) Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Silk Road Ensemble, Miguel Harth-Bedoya & Alan Gilbert "Chicago has a long history of being at the crossroads of the world," Yo-Yo Ma said as he described the
landmark year long collaboration known as 'Silk Road Chicago'.This unique celebration, partnering Ma's Silk
Road Project with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and dozens of cultural institutions throughout the city
from June 2006 through June 2007, was an unprecedented adventure in discovery that moved a city to learn
and explore musical traditions and cross-cultural connections, inspired by both the legendary Silk Road trade
route and an unending spirit of curiosity.
Traditions and Transformations: Sounds of Silk Road Chicago on CSO Resound is an aural record of this remarkable
journey, featuring a rich tapestry of musical works and passionate, virtuosic performances by cellist Yo-Yo Ma,
the Silk Road Ensemble, pipa soloist Wu Man, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of
Miguel Harth-Bedoya and Alan Gilbert.
Mongolian composer Byambasuren Sharav’s Legend of Herlen is an extraordinarily visceral piece that the
Ensemble has been touring since 2001. It has been recorded on Sony BMG, but not with the CSO brass. It's
scored for morin khuur: Mongolian horsehead fiddle, which Yo-Yo plays, long song, piano, three trombones and
percussion. Lou Harrison's Pipa Concerto is beautifully virtuosic and a real showcase for Wu Man. It has been
recorded before, but not by an orchestra of CSO calibre. Recorded live in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center on April 12, 13, and 17;
May 17, 18, 19, and 22, 2007 |

| |  | Live Recording, Chicago, March 13th, 1958
Maria Stader (soprano), Maureen Forrester (alto), David Lloyd (tenor) & Otto Edelmann (bass) Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Bruno Walter This recording documents a very rare edition of Mozart’s Requiem. “As in Walter’s other currently available performance on disc of the work, this one is taut, closely worked, never broad or indulgent in the Giulini or Karajan manner (those conductors perceiving it in more personal terms). Listen to the counterpoint of ‘Quam olim Abrahae’ and you will hear the sharp rhythms that characterize the whole.” Gramophone on another recording of Walter conducting his beloved Mozart Requiem |

Itzhak Perlman (violin) Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Daniel Barenboim "One of Barenboim's most striking traits is the close musical bonds he has forged with some of the world's top soloists. Artists such as Radu Lupu and Itzhak Perlman have popped up again and again on the CSO schedule… They are welcome visitors, since they all but guarantee a remarkable depth of communication between soloists and orchestra.“ Gramophone |

Franz Mazura, Philip Langridge, Aage Haugland, Barbara Bonney, Mira Zakai, Daniel Harper, Thomas Dymit & Herbert Wittges Chicago Symphony Chorus & Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti Recorded - Orchestra Hall, Chicago, May 1984 "Solti gives Schoenberg's masterly score a dynamism and warmth which set it firmly - if perhaps surprisingly - in the grand romantic tradition ... As Aaron, Philip Langridge is lighter and more lyrical ... Aage Haugland with his firm, dark bass makes his mark in the small role of the Priest; Barbara Bonney too is excellent as the Young Girl. Above all, the brilliant singing of the Chicago Symphony Chorus matches the playing of the orchestra in virtuosity. More than ever the question-mark concluding Act II makes a pointful close, with no feeling of a work unfinished. The brilliant recording has an even sharper focus on CD."
