Description:

[Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000] These are the masterpieces of classical music that have moved the world for 100 years! From Casals to Midori Goto, Sony Music's two major classical labels, Sony Classical and RCA RED SEAL, have a wide variety of classical masterpieces, classic discs, super discs, fixed discs, lost discs, odd discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astounding price! The series of two separate releases for 1,000 yen + tax (1,500 yen + tax for the 2-disc set) will continue in 2016. The two-disc set includes the two recordings of the "Abbado" and "Puccini" from 1978, when Abbado was still in his mid-forties and full of talent. Abbado was a firm believer that he would never take up Puccini or Verismo operas, but he was most at home with Verdi, and the six overtures recorded here are all blood-pumping performances. The recording was made by the famous producer Charles Gerhardt. ◆Time Limited Edition (until the end of March 2018) / Liner notes / Year of recording: May 1978 / Place of recording: Kingsway Hall, London
