Florence, however, was a city he visited relatively frequently; from his Florence debut in 1945 until February 1999 (after he had already retired), when he conducted a youth orchestra, he conducted concerts and operas in Florence for over half a century. This CD features live recordings from concerts held on November 19 and 20, 1993, at the Teatro Verdi in Florence. Mussorgsky’s *Pictures at an Exhibition* is, as you know, one of Giulini’s absolute signature works. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 was also a work that Giulini enjoyed performing, but the only existing recording is the 1956 EMI recording; this recording, made nearly half a century later, is therefore particularly valuable. Although the orchestra—which typically performs opera—appears to be struggling somewhat with this unfamiliar repertoire, they are clinging desperately to Giulini’s grand musical vision, just a few years before his retirement.\nPlease note that noticeable noise originating from the master tape can be heard in a few places. We ask for your understanding in advance.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maggio Live","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595644035361,"sku":"8051766590016","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8051766590016.jpg?v=1790482089","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/8051766590016","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
