About this item

EDITORIAL REVIEWS After almost 40 years on DECCA and over 3 million album sales, conductor Riccardo Chailly starts a new chapter in January 2017 as Music Director of Teatro alla Scala, Milan, one of the worlds great opera houses. This new album is a sonically spectacular recording celebrating three centuries of music first performed at the legendary opera house: overtures, preludes and intermezzi from Verdi, Rossini, Puccini and many others. All of the recorded repertoire is new to Chaillys discography.
