Faust/Ganz/Nelsons - Memorial Concert For Abbado

It was a deeply affecting and appropriate farewell. The spirit of�Claudio�Abbado, the�great conductor�and�founder of�orchestras who died in January 2014, was present in music, words, and silence. Thousands upon thousands came to the Basilica di�Santo Stefano�in�Bologna and the Piazza della�Scala in Milan to pay their last respects. In Lucerne, the members of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA paid tribute to�this�extraordinary�man and�friend�with a deeply moving concert - The emotional intensity was unbelievable; this could only be achieved by true musicians, by those capable of love. (Neue Z�rcher Zeitung). Friends�and associates�look�back�fondly�on�Claudio�Abbado and speak of how they experienced these moments of grief and farewell.
