Award 'Una Vita per la Musica'
Claudio Abbado has been awarded the "Una Vita per la Musica"(A Life for Music) prize, which is granted by a committee composed of a hundred European critics chaired by Bruno Tosi. This, Italy's most prestigious prize, has already been bestowed on such performers as Arthur Rubinstein, Maurizio Pollini, Mstislav Rostropovitch, Andrès Segovia, Karl Böhm, Carlo Maria Giulini, Yehudi Menuhin and Leonard Bernstein.
"The invitation comes from a town I have always loved and that I admire", Claudio Abbado wrote to Bruno Tosi, “not only because of its enchanting beauty but also because of its cultural activities and because of various emotional relationships which per luck have come my way. Like the relationship to Luigi Nono, composer and brotherly friend. (...)
For years now I have been accepting with pleasure prizes offered me. As it is my wish that these may encourage talented musicians and be transformed into grants for the young. With some friends and colleagues I have for a long time now been pursuing the idea of creating in our country music schools for young orchestra players at European level, like the ones in Bolzano and Ferrara. The aim is to establish a school in every region of Italy and it would be important if a town like Venice could give birth to an institution where making music together like in the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester is taught."

Maestro Abbado's health is good, even if he must be prudent in the quotidian life . Its the reason of cancellation of the opening to the japanese public of the dress rehearsal , who was in project before the departure from Berlin, and effectively cancelled a few days before. "in bocca al lupo" for the premiere (as the italians say..)
