Riccardo Muti and the CSO with vocal soloists -- Verdi's Otello, April 2011. © Todd Rosenberg Photography.
Tonight from 10 to 11 p.m. CST on Critical Thinking on 98.7WFMT Chicago -- and via free streaming anywhere at wfmt.com -- I talk with Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director Riccardo Muti about music of Carl Orff, César Franck, CSO Meas composers-in-residence Mason Bates and Anna Clyne, Schubert, and even Dmitri Smirnov, all of which is coming up on his three weeks of CSO subscription concerts from January 26 through February 11 and then on a four-city, five-concert Muti/CSO tour to California February 14 through 19. Stick it out to the end and you'll hear some recollections of Muti's closest musical friends, the late Carlos Kleiber and the late Sviatoslov Richter, too, as well as how everything comes from Naples.
