Cincinnati welcomes Louis Langrée in his first concert as Music Director Designate! Franck’s Symphony in D Minor, a treasure-trove of rich and familiar melodies, is a highlight of this colorful, all-French program. The ethereal splendor of Messiaen gives way to Saint-Saëns’ most popular piano concerto, a work whose technical demands, fiery passages and dramatic intensity will bring forth the artistic gifts of French pianist Cédric Tiberghien in his CSO debut.
