Daniel Barenboim – Liszt: Années de pèlerinage, IIe année: Italie, No. 4: Sonetto 47 del Petrarca

Aida (Aïda), the four-act opera by Verdi set in the Old Kingdom of Egypt, was originally premiered in Cairo on the Christmas eve of 1871. However, Verdi was said to be the most dissatisfied with the Cairo-première, for no general public was invited. He therefore considered the Italian (and European) première, held at La Scala, Milan in 1872 to be its real première – a première in which Verdi was personally and heavily involved.

135 years later, Daniel Barenboim, one of the most prolific musicians in the world, gave a solo recital at La Scala in May 2007 and presented a creative transcription of "Danza sacra e duetto" from Aida. In this very personal tribute to a nation he has frequently toured as a conductor, Daniel Barenboim skillfully infuses his passion, distinctive style, and character in his playing as a piano soloist.
It is also the first live instrumental recital recording at this eponymous opera venue in Italy.
