Riccardo Muti conducts the French National Orchestra in music by Strauss and Schumann.
One of the world's leading maestros for over five decades, Riccardo Muti here conducts a French orchestra with whom he's enjoyed a long association. The Naples-born maestro steers the Orchestre National de France through Strauss's evocative early symphonic fantasy, a work inspired by the twenty one year old composer's tour of Italy in 1885. As he wrote at the time: "In the Roman ruins...ideas just came flying to me." It was the seldom performed Aus Italien which paved the way for Strauss's more famous tone poems.
