The second part of the program, focused on works of Italian musicians (primarily opera composers), was conceived not to offer something completely different from Beethoven’s Seventh which is, of course, different. It was meant to be a demonstration of the compositional skill of Italian musicians who, because they devoted themselves primarily to opera, have had their instrumental and symphonic abilities overlooked. Therefore, this collection of pieces we perform – Catalani, Puccini, Mascagni… – is not just repertoire to liven up the evening, but, rather, to educate the audience with pages taken out of the opera by demonstrating the great compositional excellence of Italian composers, who are usually remembered for: “Vincerò, vincerò, vincerò…”

What this box offers is a slice of life during concert rehearsals […] It is a more technical product, therefore of extreme interest for musicians. And yet, indications, corrections and suggestions of Maestro are so essential, clear and precise that can be followed also by enthusiasts. The rehearsals are – as usual, when it is about Riccardo Muti – an extraordinary way to approach masterpieces of great composers, but in this case there is even more: the concert. That is the possibility to see concretely applied all the tricks, suggestions and endless corrections of the rehearsals and identify them. As well as the possibility to compare the result of the rehearsals with the performance in front of the audience, actually seeing which decisions made during the rehearsal were kept and which not, trying to understand what can determine any changes. Above all it is possible to see how the quality of the piece actually improves from the rehearsals to the concert.In the end, this is precisely the focal point of these rehearsals metaphorically open to the public and the reason why Maestro Muti has so much interest in sharing them: to spread his method. We can discuss about many things, about style, interpretation (in a meeting with the students of Bocconi University in 1994, Maestro said: “They must discuss my interpretations”), but we should also have the intellectual honesty to recognize the meritsof the method used by Maestro Riccardo Muti. A method aiming at a result that might sound obvious: bring out what the composer actually wrote. Nevertheless, this method proves itself right through hard work and study in which thescore is literally disassembled sentence by sentence, bar to bar, to investigate even the weight of a single note, then recompose the tesserae of that grandiose mosaic and – finally – return the music to the audience in a performance that is as faithful as possible to the intentions of those who wrote it.
