Guido Cantelli, The Angel of the Podium

Nine CD set. Guido Cantelli's meteoric impact in his tragically cut-short life is recalled here in this fine collection includes many exceptional recordings remastered to perfection. Including 8 CDs of music and a new 60 minute audio documentary about Cantelli's life this is the ultimate tribute to the great Italian conductor. He was considered a conductor of characteristic Italianate verve, tempered by a sensibility to expressive nuance and balance of timbre. Among these recordings his Schumann's Symphony no.4 (1953) and Brahms's Symphony no.3 (1955) testify to the vitality of spirit and clarity of orchestral texture that were hallmarks of his performances.
