Lucerne Fo/Abbado - Claudio Abbado

All are equal before the work, before the mysteries of a score; this�was Claudio�Abbado's�heart?felt�conviction.�For�him,�the�willingness to be open to one another and to the independent life of musical processes was the only prerequisite for making music. In the live performances documented here for the first time on DVD, Abbado could be sure of the devotion of these world?class artists: the�Lucerne Festival�Orchestra,�the�sopranos Christine Sch�fer and Juliane Banse, as well as the actor�Bruno�Ganz.�They�shared his credo�of�listening�togetherness (Die ZEIT) that made possible those precious moments of musical truth toward which this great conductor strove throughout his life.
