Riccardo Muti - The Verdi Collection

Here are 11 complete operas plus the "Requiem" and "Four Sacred Pieces" conducted by the world's greatest living Verdi conductor. This 28-CD collection derives from more than 20 years of collaboration between Muti and EMI, and the DVD documentary finds the famed conductor leading us, in his own words, through these magnificent pieces as we see performances in rehearsal and in concert. Montserrat Caballe, Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, Mirella Freni, José Carreras, Cheryl Studer, Chris Merritt and the New Philharmonia Orchestra, La Scala Orchestra, Ambrosian Chorus and Stockholm Chamber Orchestra are among those heard on these reference-standard recordings of "Aida," "Attila," "Don Carlos," "Ernani," "I Vespri Siciliani," "La Forza Del Destino," "La Traviata," "MacBeth," "Nabucco," "Requiem," "4 Pezzi Sacri," "Rigoletto" and "Un Ballo in Maschera." A great gift to lovers of Verdi and of Muti! Warner Classics/Parlophone.
