The 2009 Europakonzert in Naples
It was after an absence of seventeen years that Riccardo Muti returned to conduct the Berliner Philharmoniker on 1 May 2009. The programme of the Europakonzert that was held in the magnificent setting of the newly restored Teatro di San Carlo in Naples featured Schubert’s Symphony in C major (“Great”), a Verdi overture and Giuseppe Martucci’s song cycle La canzone dei ricordi, a genuine rarity that is all too infrequently heard today.
