Lucerne Festival Orchestra - Brahms: Claudio Abaddo

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)Tragic Overture, Op. 81Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) Orchestral Interlude and j Song of the Wood Dove from Gurre-LiederLudwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 EroicaWith his very own mysterious seductive power and legendary elegance (Le Monde), Claudio Abbado opened for the last time the LUCERNE FESTIVAL in the summer of 2013. Only a few months later, the world had to bid farewell to a monumental artist, humanist, great conductor and orchestra founder. Even in the concert itself, documented here, lived a moment of farewell, as the three great works performed tell of the transience of life. The centerpiece of the Eroica is the funeral march revealing abysses of shattering dimension - an intense experience (Neue Z�rcher Zeitung). This record, the last audio-visual documentation of his work, captures once again the extraordinary atmosphere of vibrant emotionality that always emerged when Abbado created music with his orchestra of friends.
