Musical Moments: Mascagni, Cavalleria Rusticana

Bravo...

 
Georges Pretre
 
 
Georges Pretre, a world-famous conductor, leads the National Orchestra of France with Pietro Mascagni's famous Cavalleria Rusticana in this week's Musical Moments.
 
Pretre, who turned 90 last year, has received many awards, including:  Knight of the Italian Republic, Commander of the Italian Republic, the Europa Prize, and the Austrian Cross of Honor.
 
And he is a grand officer of France's Legion d'honneur.
 
His interests include riding, swimming, aviation, judo and karate, according to Wikipedia.
  
I hope you'll enjoy this bravo performance of Mascagni's masterpiece by a maestro and a great orchestra:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykUCfqvnI9I
