Louis Langrée and the CSO explore works that have sounds all their own. Berlioz’s music from an unfinished opera adds voices in extreme ranges. Through darkest doubt and brightest love, the music expresses Saint-Saëns’ entire being and his skill as an organist with moments that pull out all the stops. Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, “an arresting artist who…creates unique aural landscapes” (LA Times), debuts with Ravel’s Concerto in G Major for Piano and Orchestra.
