Summary: Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO January 10-15. Radu Lupu performs Beethoven's First Piano Concerto, with its introspective passion simmering behind militaristic rhythms. We then return to the Beethoven of revolutionary, groundbreaking statements with his mighty "Eroica" Symphony, led by Music Director Riccardo Muti.
