Verdi : La battaglia di Legnano, Overture from the opera (1848)

Love the woodwinds in this dramatic Overture, especially over the plucked lower-register strings (1:48-5:29). Great stuff!

Grande Peppino ottima edizione (gli inglesi sempre forti)

Ted Downes was the greatest British conductor of the post-Boult, Beecham, Barbirolli era....no question.
