Maestro Riccardo Muti devoted his entire life to the promotion of Italian opera repertoire since the beginning of his brilliant conducting career as director of the Maggio musicale Fiorentino, one of the most important operatic events in Italy. Among his numerous Verdi recordings, we have selected the best moments, from Aida to La traviata and Macbeth with such vocal soloists as Montserrat Caballé or José Carreras. This album also includes excerpts from the Pezzi sacri and the Requiem with Luciano Pavarotti.
