Video Recordings of Pieces Used in Session 1
Giuseppe Verdi, Prelude to Act I, La Traviata
The Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, conducted by Xian Zhan, performs at the BBC Proms in September of 2013
Very traditional performance from an Italian orchestra known for their performances of Verdi (hence their name). Very good production.
Giuseppe Verdi, Prelude to Act I, La Traviata
Sir Georg Solti conducts the Royal Opera House of Covent Garden
In this performance you are able to experience how the composition was intended to be heard, from the orchestra pit. Sir Georg Solti conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra at Covent Garden, in a live performance of La Traviata, December, 1994. Notice Sir Goerg’s choices in interpreting the opera’s famous prelude. The more assertive interpretation was chosen, perhaps, to elevate the dramatic, tragic story line that follows.
