Riccardo Muti has announced the launch of Supreme Classics, a new record label that will be officially launched on 19 February at the Grand Hotel Wien. The presentation will feature Muti himself and The Philharmonic Brass ensemble, who will present the new label’s first release, the album Italiana!
The inaugural album, Italiana!, will be available from 7 March and brings together musicians from the brass sections of the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics under the baton of Muti. The repertoire includes brass arrangements of well-known pieces from the Italian operatic repertoire, such as Verdi’s Sinfonia di Nabucco or the overture to Rossini’s Guillaume Tell.
