IL: Mälkki Conducts Chicago Symphony

Susanna Mälkki returns to the Orchestra Hall podium for Mahler’s magnificent Fourth Symphony, which portrays a journey toward innocence concluding with “The Heavenly Life” sung by “luminous soprano” (The New York Times) Camilla Tilling. Two rarely heard Beethoven works—the dramatic concert aria Ah! Perfido and the grand Namensfeier Overture—complete the program.
