Carlo Maria GiuliniCarlo Maria Giulini (born May 9, 1914) is a Italian conductor. Born in Barletta, he studied the viola and conducting at the Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome. He worked at Milan Radio from 1946 to 1951, where he revived a number of obscure operas, including works by Alessandro Scarlatti. A production of Joseph Haydn's Il mondo della luna was heard by Arturo Toscanini and led to him recommending Giulini for the musical directorship at La Scala, where Giulini remained from 1953 to 1956. In 1958 he conducted a highly acclaimed production of Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlos at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, but from 1967 he largely abandoned opera, concentrating on orchestral works. He conducted the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra of London. From 1978 to 1984 he was principal conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1982 he returned to opera, conducting Verdi's Falstaff His legendary recording include Verdi(Don Carlos), Faure (Requiem), Bruckner (Symphony 8 and 9), Tchaikovsky(Symphony 6), Schubert (Symphony 8 and 9), Mahler (Symphony 1, 4, and 9) and Dvorak (Symphony 7 and 9) to name a few.
