Description:
The world's first SACD release of Muti's magnificent live performance of "Verlec" with the Teatro alla Scala Orchestra in 1987 and the exquisite "Chant quartet" with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra! The latest reissue of the most famous recordings with full of voices and full of spirit. This is the third digital recording to be released on SACD! This is the third digital recording on SACD, and the third in a series of SACD releases! This is the second recording with EMI since the session recording with the Philharmonia Orchestra in 1979, and it is a rare masterpiece with the passion and tension of a live performance. The performance is a rare masterpiece with the passion and intensity of a live performance. The attractive soloists and the vivid orchestra are all controlled by Muti's lively conducting, which is truly outstanding! The SACD version has been newly mastered from the digital master in the original country for this release, with separate mastering for the SACD and CD layers. New commentary and bilingual lyrics are included. This live, yet highly accomplished performance is unique to Muti, and shows his extraordinary enthusiasm for Verdi.Since his first recording with EMI in 1979, he has performed the piece in many places (a live recording with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks was released in 2021), and it is thought that the frequency of his performances is high, but the most wonderful of all is this 1987 live performance with the Orchestra and Choir of La Scala. After succeeding Abbado as music director of La Scala the previous year, he had been tackling a variety of issues both inside and outside the company, and had been implementing powerful reforms. Although it was a live performance, the chorus and orchestra combined high technical skills and a sense of tension to create a wonderful performance of "Werlec" at the highest level. The 2009 live recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is also excellent, but the overall sense of balance, the atmosphere of the time, and the realism of the live performance make this a performance that will surely go down in history. The chorus, in particular, is highly concentrated in accordance with Muti's intentions, and the performance is well worth listening to. In addition, the coupling this time includes "Four Psalms" recorded in 1982 with the Berlin Philharmonic and others in the margins.This is a session recording and the sound quality is different, but the performance has the depth that only Muti can deliver. Although the sound image and reverberations are different, this is definitely a recording of Verdi's vocal works by the same Muti that should not be missed. (1/2)
