This program opens with Mozart under the batons of former music directors Daniel Barenboim and Fritz Reiner. In October 1976, Sir Georg Solti led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the world premiere of David Del Tredici’s Final Alice—commissioned to commemorate the U.S. bicentennial—with twenty-seven-year-old Barbara Hendricks as soprano soloist. Three years later, the work was repeated and recorded for London.
