After almost 40 years on Decca and over three million albums sold, in January 2017 Riccardo Chailly became music director of Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the world’s most iconic opera house. Milanese by birth, Chailly made his conducting debut at La Scala in 1978 as assistant to Claudio Abbado. Chailly’s father Luciano had also served as artistic director at La Scala, completing a family dynasty. This Filarmonica della Scala album is a sonically spectacular recording celebrating three centuries of music first performed at La Scala: overtures, preludes and intermezzi from Verdi, Rossini, Puccini and many others, all new to Chailly’s discography.
