Strauss: Don Juan, Aus Italien / Muti, Berlin Philharmonic

Release Date: 05/27/2016
Label: Decca Catalog #: 4788978
Composer:  Richard Strauss Conductor:  Riccardo Muti Orchestra/Ensemble:  Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

"Aus Italien is such a beautiful and enjoyable work that it's really amazing that it hasn't been performed more often. On balance, this is its finest recorded performance. The combination of Riccardo Muti's feeling for rhythm and ensemble discipline and the Berlin Philharmonic's elegance and virtuosity makes for gorgeous results in the voluptuous introduction, with an extra dash of brilliance in the finale...if you're up for 40 minutes of early Straussian orchestral splendor, this reissue will be most welcome in your collection."
