The new CSO (Chicago Symphony Orchestra) Resound recording Riccardo Muti Conducts Italian Masterworks is now available in international retail outlets including the Symphony Store and http://SymphonyStore.com, as well as for digital download and streaming.

The recording is the Orchestra’s ninth with Music Director Riccardo Muti on its own label.

Riccardo Muti Conducts Italian Masterworks features a selection of works by 19th-century Italian composers Verdi, Puccini, Mascagni and Boito, whose works epitomize one of the most important periods of Italian opera. The works were recorded live in Orchestra Hall in June 2017 during the final concert of the CSO’s 126th season.
