Riccardo Chailly and Giuseppe Verdi meet again in Milan, the city which witnessed the first successes of both the composer and the conductor.
Riccardo Chailly celebrates his 60th birthday today and treats us to Viva Verdi, a recording published for Decca to celebrate the composer’s bicentenary. Under his baton, the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala play a selection of orchestral pieces taken from Verdi’s operas such as the legendary preludes to La Traviata and Aida or the Nabucco Overture.
Viva Verdi, Overtures and Preludes by Verdi by the Filarmonica della Scala conducted by Riccardo Chailly, published in January 2012 for Decca
But, according to the Maestro, the aim of this project is “not only to present the celebrated, beloved and renowned side of Verdi’s work, but the vast accomplishment of the composer during his whole career.” Accordingly, the chore of this recording features the Jerusalem Overture and four “Air de Ballet” from the original 1843 libretto of this opera and its revised version. The Prelude to Il Corsaro and the Overtures from Alzira or Giovanna d’Arco emphasize Riccardo Chailly’s point: “concerning the genius of Verdi, one cannot talk about minor works, from Oberto to Falstaff it is rather an evolution without precedent in the history of music.”
