The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of the world’s great Gustav Mahler orchestras, a legacy that goes back to its second music director, Frederick Stock. That legacy catapulted the orchestra this month to one of classical music’s most prominent forums, as the CSO became the first American orchestra to perform at the Mahler Festival, an 11-day marathon hosted in Amsterdam that ends Sunday. The festival has run only twice before, in 1920 and in 1995.
