EUROARTS Claudio Abbado - Retrospective [DVD AUDIO]

"I am Claudio - for all" quickly became the much-quoted statement Abbado, which stands exactly for this: Claudio, the fellow musician. Claudio Abbado felt into his musicians. In order to be able to keep contact with each individual during the conductor, he usually conducted by heart. What particularly distinguished Claudio Abbado were his unpretentious, noble character, his democratic understanding of making music, and his ability to celebrate the live moment as such without shattering the aura of a work in rehearsals. This edition contains representative concert recordings from his work as an orchestra founder, as a Beethoven conductor and as an opera conductor, and includes an extensive editory part Included in the edition is a never before released on DVD Adagio from Mahler's 10.
