An excerpt from critic Andrew Patners review of 2014 -- the full article is below. Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Concerts in February, June and September underscored both the consistency and richness of works under the CSO’s popular Italian music director. In the winter Muti revealed an almost unknown mass by Franz Schubert showing him to also have been a serious choral composer and showcasing the excellent CSO Chorus. In June, Muti paired Schubert’s Fifth Symphony with a CSO staple, Mahler’s First, making magic in both. And the season-opening Beethoven Ninth with orchestra, chorus, and major soloists was much more than gala fare.
