André de Ridder makes his CSO subscription series debut opening with Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture. Inon Barnatan then joins him onstage as soloist in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major. Next, seventh music director Jean Martinon leads two suites from Bizet’s L’arlésienne and Paganini’s Moto perpetuo (orchestrated by second music director Frederick Stock), both recorded for RCA.
