Tuesday 2/12/13 Chicago Symphony Orchestra
11:00 PM
Jaap Van Zweden conducts a world premiere by Christopher Rouse.
Shostakovich: Festive Overture
Rouse: Heimdall’s Trumpet [CSO commission, world premiere] (Chris Martin, trumpet)
Tchaikovsky: Manfred Symphony
Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony



On the 2/12 CSO concert broadcast, why did they change the ending of the “Manfred” Symphony? (Instead of the usual ending, they essentially repeated the 1st-movement ending.) And why was no explanation given, before or after? Was there a technical problem with the broadcast?
