Claudio Abbado served as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s second principal guest conductor from 1982 until 1985, and he returned for several years as a frequent and favorite visitor. Abbado and the ensemble recorded a number of works by Tchaikovsky for CBS and Sony, and this program includes The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet, the Winter Dreams Symphony, and a suite from The Nutcracker, just in time for the holiday season.
