Hear our music director discuss his relationship with the music of Italy's greatest opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi: "... in those twelve bars is the universe ...."
But he won't meet Verdi after his death, because Verdi was an atheist. So either Verdi was right and there will be no afterlife. Or Muti and the church are right and there will be no atheists in heaven. Therefore Mr. Muti won't meet Verdi either way. ;)
I attended all The London Mozart Players concerts where Riccardo Muti was an outstanding 1st violinist and later a spectacular conductor. Yes, indeed, how many other composers also built a magnificent building for retired musicians? (Milano) Thank you for posting this wonderful interview.
No amato R.Muti...no morire again. You have all make right con tuo cuore e anima 🎶🎶 . You have make joy so many time. Cherubini will sing for you. SALUTI da Austria a Ferrara...this year is Dante 7OO Year. I will travel as possibile..💖💖💖💖💖
Ma quanto commovente! "Ho servito Verdi per tutta la mia vita!" La capisco caro Maestro. Anche per me un giorno sarà molto interessante incontrare Verdi all'aldilà 🙂. I personalmente credo che sia stata una persona molto comprensiva - quindi non ci sarà la necessesità di morire due volte. Le vorrà bene, già per il suo senso dell'umorismo. Dico io.
Nothing pompous about it. Quite humble, in fact. He dedicated his life to the music of his favorite composer, yet remains unsure if he would've lived up to his expectations. And he explained it very eloquently as well.
what he says at the end is so powerful and stunning. I love Riccardo Muti!

Riccardo Muti, the best conductor available in USA. Thank you for being our musical conductor. Go Chicago!
It has been such an honor to have Muti for Chicago Symphony.

Muti is the best conductor (in life) for Verdi! No doubts.
i am sure Maestro Verdi will say...you were right.
Straordinario
