And who could forget the CSO’s performance in 2006 with Michael Tilson Thomas, which would turn out to be Lorraine Hunt Lieberson’s final public performance? (The Resurrection was only about halfway accomplished that first hearing, but here’s an A for effort.)

Dutch mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn joins the orchestra this week. Here she sings “Urlicht.” The pianist is Julius Drake.
