Format: 91 CD Set
ICPN: 0190295008345
Release Date: 18th June 2021
Genre: Classical

Passion, precision and fidelity to the score have always been hallmarks of Riccardo Muti’s interpretations. After studies in Naples, where he was born in 1941, and in Milan he rapidly built a major international reputation. His 1967 victory in the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition soon led to an appointment as Music Director of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. In 1971, at Herbert von Karajan’s invitation, he made his debut with the Wiener Philharmoniker at the Salzburg Festival, and 1973 ushered in his decade as Principal Conductor and Music Director of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra (known as the New Philharmonia Orchestra when he assumed the post). Lengthy tenures as Music Director followed with The Philadelphia Orchestra (1980-1992) and the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, Milano (1986-2005).This collection bears witness to all these notable musical relationships, and to Muti’s status as an honoured guest with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. His illustrious career has encompassed both concert hall and opera house, but this landmark 91CD set focuses on his recordings of orchestral, choral and vocal works. Spanning the years from 1973 to 2007 and encompassing a rich and varied repertoire, it also features an audio documentary, made in 2020, celebrating his outstandingly productive period with the Philharmonia.

July 28th 2021 marks the 80th birthday of the Italian conductor Riccardo Muti, who first rose to major international prominence 50 years ago when he made his debut at the Salzburg Festival in August 1971.
• Muti’s distinction and status as a conductor of orchestral music, choral works and opera is reflected in the substantial discography he has built since the 1970s.
• This 91CD box focuses on his recordings of orchestral, choral and vocal works (other than opera) and spans the years from 1973 to 2007.
• Most of the recordings date from the years between 1973 and 1993, when he was a leading exclusive artist for EMI, so his Warner Classics catalogue is exceptionally rich.
Over his career, Muti has cultivated close relationships with several of the world’s leading orchestras. The recordings in this box bear witness to these long and loyal associations:
• Philharmonia Orchestra (also known for a period as the New Philharmonia Orchestra)
Principal Conductor & Music Director 1973-1982
• The Philadelphia Orchestra
Music Director 1980-1992
• Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, Milano
Music Director 1986-2005
• Berliner Philharmoniker
• Wiener Philharmoniker
Speaking of the Wiener Philharmoniker, Muti has said: "This orchestra has been extremely important in my musical life. It has always been a sort of model of music-making: this concept of chamber music even with a great orchestra. There is a special care of sound and phrasing that makes this orchestra still very special."
• Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
Music Director 1968-1981
• Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

The 91 CDs of Riccardo Muti – The Complete Warner Symphonic Recordings showcase Muti’s command of a wide repertoire spanning the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. It includes the complete symphonies of Beethoven and Scriabin (Philadelphia Orchestra), Schubert (Wiener Philharmoniker) and Tchaikovsky (Philharmonia).
