The great Maazel returns. Leaving admirers behind after last year’s performance with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the world-famous conductor this time appears with the young but very famous Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini.

A musical interpretation that presents Vaclav Neumann conducting the Czech Philharmonic doing a tribute to the Western Hemisphere.

Lorin Varencove Maazel was an American conductor, violinist and composer. He began conducting at the age of eight and by 1953 had decided to pursue a career in music. He had established a reputation in the concert halls of Europe by 1960 but, by comparison, his career in the U.S. progressed far more slowly. He served as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic, among other posts. Maazel was well-regarded in baton technique and possessed a photographic memory for scores. Described as mercurial and forbidding in rehearsal, he mellowed in old age.
