Ah, the Nabucco choir! It's become a hit on the charts. But the extraordinary thing is that it was a hit right from the start, right from the time of Verdi. It's a lesson: Verdi knew how to find the popular fibre, by going to the essential - to the heart. But Nabucco cannot be reduced to the chorus of the third part: it is also a founding work in Verdi's style. As he himself said, forty years after its creation: "My career really began with Nabucco. »

This style of a twenty-nine year old Verdi, Riccardo Muti has the exact pulse of it. Just listen to his Ouverture, taken at a hellish tempo, with this suffocating acceleration that seems to burst the sound space, not by pushing, magnifying, but by electrifying the orchestral material! The success of this Nabucco is first and foremost due to him. The cast has beautiful individualities (Luchetti, Obraztsova), with the fascinating but hard work of Renata Scotto. The unquestionable is the chorus, totally committed, and the orchestra set ablaze by a Muti who breathes this music like a wild beast breathes its prey. You won't find a more orchestral, more breathless Nabucco!
