Riccardo Muti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in back-to-back concerts at Carnegie Hall. This Saturday-night program includes the Hall’s first-ever performance of Catalani’s Contemplazione, which transposes the heart-wrenching lyricism of Italian opera into a 10-minute orchestral piece. Also included is a symphonic suite from Stravinsky's Le baiser de la fée (The Fairy’s Kiss); based on The Ice-Maiden, it pays tribute to the life and music of Tchaikovsky, and many New York audience members will recognize it from Balanchine’s iconic ballet. Schubert’s magnificent final symphony—the Ninth—closes the program, a work with overtly Beethoven-esque characteristics and a particularly helpful subtitle: “Great.”
