The Complete RCA Album Collection

Georges Prêtre was the kind of conductor who seemed equally at home in the opera pit and the concert hall, and this collection of his RCA recordings captures that versatility across decades of work with some of Europe's finest singers and orchestras. Whether leading the dramatic sweep of Verdi's *Lucia di Lammermoor* and *La Traviata*, the symphonic architecture of Sibelius, or the orchestral poetry of Järnefelt's *Night Ride and Sunrise*, Prêtre brought a conductor's clarity and warmth to everything he touched. The operatic selections feature mezzo-soprano Shirley Verrett in full voice, navigating the vocal demands of Donizetti and Verdi with the kind of authority that defined her career. This is Prêtre the traditionalist—a musician of the old school who understood that the Romantic repertoire needed neither reconstruction nor reinvention, just deep musicianship and respect for the score. A substantial introduction to a conductor whose recordings deserve far wider hearing.
