Muti conducts ‘Firebird’ for CSO opening night

“The opening, with its whispered violin flutters and resonant lower strings, gave the illusion that the entire string section was being strummed like a giant harp. Meanwhile, the evening’s actual harpist, Julia Coronelli of the Milwaukee Symphony, elevated the performance with her delicate touch wherever she appeared, as she has in guest appearances over the past two seasons.”
