Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki makes her CSO debut. Hear the deep, resonant tones of solo bass clarinet when CSO musician J. Lawrie Bloom performs Thea Musgrave’s Autumn Sonata. Forever associated with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the introduction to Also sprach Zarathustra is one of the most thrilling orchestral moments ever composed.
