Rossini & Verdi: Overtures - Berlin Philharmonic, Karajan CD

Few conductors commanded the grand sweep of Italian opera quite like Herbert von Karajan — and here, at the helm of the Berlin Philharmonic, he delivers ten overtures of irresistible drama and colour.

Released on Deutsche Grammophon's Privilege reissue series, this disc pairs four of Rossini's most exhilarating curtain-raisers — including the thundering La gazza ladra and the nimble La scala di seta — with six of Verdi's most powerful preludes, from the brooding weight of La forza del destino to the delicate opening of La traviata. Essential classical listening at a preloved price.
