CSO program cover 2005-2006 season

There was no touring during the 2005-06 Cincinnati Symphony season but there were plenty of meaty programs for the Music Hall audience in Cincinnati. One of them: Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7, "Leningrad," in November.

Järvi's recordings with the CSO continued to be imaginatively conceived (and well received). Their Dvorak-Martinu album was named Record of the Month by Grammophone magazine. Another fine pairing was Concertos for Orchestra by Bartok and Witold Lutoslawski.
