Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Tchaikovsky 1. Chicago Symphony Orchestra; David Zinman, conductor, Julia Fischer, violin, Shostakovich - Violin Concerto No. 1, Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 1 (Winter Dreams). Violinist Julia Fischer, whose "uncanny accuracy of intonation and individuality of phrasing" has been praised by the Chicago Tribune, makes her CSO debut with Shostakovich's brooding and demoic First Violin Concerto. Following this dark and demanding work is Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1, which was described as "better and richer in content than many other, more mature works" by the composer himself.
