Victor de Sabata (born the April 10th 1892 with Trieste - died the December 11th 1967 with Santa Margherita Ligure) is a Leader and a Italian Compositeur .

Biography

De Sabata is regarded as one of the largest leaders of the Italian opera, in particular the operas of Verdi and Puccini; it is also known for its directions of works of Wagner as well as orchestral music Des. Like its contemporary close relation Wilhelm Furtwängler, of Sabata the composition regarded as more important than the direction of orchestra and yet it has receipt a better recognition as leader. Some critical see in Sabata a rival of Toscanini for the title of larger Italian leader of the 20th century.

Its principal compositions

• It macigno (opera, 1917)
• Juventus (symphonic poem for orchestra, 1919)
• the notte di Plato (for orchestra, 1923)
• Gethsemani (for orchestra, 1925)

Its principal recordings

Its recordings in studio are generally regarded as less interesting than those which were carried out in operas or concert halls. (That holds can be with the fact that one says of him that he hated the recordings).

Fortunately, there exist several recordings " live " who show how much Sabata could be filling with enthusiasm on scene (although the quality of these recordings is sometimes problematic).
