Complete Recordings on Philips & Deutsche Grammophon (33 CD + 4 DVD)

Riccardo Muti stands among the most authoritative and uncompromising musical voices of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This comprehensive limited-edition box set brings together his complete recordings for Philips and Deutsche Grammophon and spans over three decades (1983–2019). Contained within are performances that reflect a conductor equally at home in symphonic, operatic and concert repertoire. Across this repertoire – from Beethoven and Brahms to Puccini, Rossini, and Bruckner – Muti’s interpretations reveal a rare balance of intellectual rigour and expressive power. In addition to the 33 CDs in the set there are four DVDs, including a performance of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto with Claudio Arrau, which receives its first DVD release. Original jackets and a fascinating note by Andrew Stewart complete this highly desirable set.
