  In this majestic production of Verdi's Don Carlo Riccardo Chailly's qualities as a Verdi conductor are brilliantly displayed in the dramatic precision and transparent instrumental detail he draws from both orchestra and cast. Willy Decker directs a wonderful piece of stagecraft letting the tragedy unwind with minimal yet telling interventions. The drama takes place in the mausoleum of Filippo II's Escorial where the tombs of countless generations of Spanish royalty line the walls. Filippo's confrontation with II grande inquisitore - which takes place over his own coffin its resting place in the wall ready and waiting - is chillingly symbolic as are the feet of the giant crucifix that hangs over Don Carlo as he sees his life sacrificed by his father.
