Release Date: Thursday 5 May 2011

This new 11-CD set presents Seiji Ozawa in a wide variety of symphonic repertory with the orchestra's with which he has been most closely associated since the early 1970s - from the San Francisco Symphony in 1972 in a programme of music centred round Romeo and Juliet, through his twenty-nine years at the Boston Symphony, to the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics and the Saito Kinen Orchestra in Japan - a celebration of a truly international Maestro.

Booklet includes an appreciation of Seiji Ozawa by recording producer Dominic Fyfe.
