Abbado - Mahler Symphony No. 9
The history of Claudio Abbado's relationship to Mahler is something quite special in itself. He has been established as a leading Mahler interpreter for so many years that it is easy to underestimate the role he has played in creating the huge appetite for Mahler's music that today is a prominent feature of worldwide musical culture. "Together with conductor Claudio Abbado, the cream of young European musicians who make up this outstanding orchestra infused the symphony with a luminosity that glowed with an inner brilliance."
