Great performances by one of the greatest conductors.
Jun 30 2004
Although he never received the publicity accorded to some more famous conductors, Carlo Maria Giulini was equal to, or better than, all such "star" conductors. In fact, Giulini was quite simply one of the half dozen or so greatest conductors of the 20th century. Although Giulini recorded with many major orchestras, some of his finest recordings were made with the Chicago Symphany Orchestra. Several of his finest recordings are contained in this outstanding collection. If you are familiar with these recordings from LPs here's your chance to get them on CD. If you are not yet familiar with this outstanding conductor, this collection is an excellent introduction to some of his finest work.

Giulini is always among my favorite conductors and this set includes some of his great recordings with CSO(1969-1976,studio,stereo) that you can not find their another editions: Beethoven 7 and Bruckner 9 ( + Mahler 1, Brahms 4, Berlioz-Romeo&Juliet, Stravinsky-Petroushka&Firebird Suites.)
CSO on its top form under the baton of Giulini...Very well recorded sounds by EMI...Wonderfull edition(not cardboard!)...Incredible price for 4 CD... Highly,highly,highly recommended...

Splendid EMI Commemorative of Giulini and CSO
Feb 21 2005
During the period from 1969 to 1976, distinguished conductor Carlo Maria Giulini made magnificient recordings for both EMI and Deutsche Grammophon with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, while serving as the orchestra's Principal Guest Conductor. These recordings remain among the most celebrated classical music recordings ever made, most notably his Mahler symphony recordings. In honor of the retired conductor's 90th birthday, EMI has issued most of his finest Chicago Symphony Orchestra recordings; most notably a very intensely lyrical Mahler 1st Symphony that earned a 1971 Grammy Award for best orchestral recording and a fine Brahms 4th Symphony. Often underrated as among the 20th Century's greatest conductors, I am delighted that EMI has recognized Giulini's legacy by issuing this fine 4 CD set.
