Chicago / Muti by Hindemith, Elgar, Mussorgsky, De la (2017/2017), Dirijor Riccardo Muti, Philharmonie de Paris, Paris, France

All-symphonic program for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, considered by Gramophone magazine to be the best American orchestra. It is led by its musical director since 2010, Riccardo Muti. Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition , in Ravel's orchestral version, are part of the history of the more than century-old Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which gave the disc, from 1951, a version strikingly balanced and present. – before re-recording them multiple times. They are completed by the satanic Night on Bald Mountain , but also by the In the South overture imagined by Elgar in Italy in the winter of 1903-1904 as well as by Paul Hindemith's Konzertmusik written in 1930 for the Boston Symphony Orchestra – for whom Ravel composed at the same time his Concerto in G and Stravinsky his Symphony of Psalms .
