Claudio Abbado conducts Mahler Symphony No.2

[Maestroyaklich]

This is not the Berlin Philharmonic - it is the Lucern Festival Orchestra

I love the Berlin Phil. Best orchestra in the world, no exceptions, no one else close - not Vienna, not New York, not anyone. What style, what coolness. Not an orchestra of Scharzeneggers or Atlases...an orchestra of Gods.

This is probably my favorite moment in all of music. Mahler is stunning.

I own Abaddo's recordings of Mahler's 2ND & 4Th with Chicago Symphony & Wiener Philharmonic ... AMAZING PERFORMANCE & RECORDING !

Abbado can make it really good!!!! it needs tempi very fast and work.Saw other version and I hate this symphony, with Abbado I like it!!!

[StAngersucks]

@ilbacioditosca how can you hate it? :S

[infz00]

Abbado is the best! I have heard many other conductors rendition of Beethoven and Mahler, but none can match the life and rhythm of the music under Abbado!! Bravo!!

Claudio Abbado é o melhor junto com Seiji Osawa...

ele consegue se transmutar na própria música durante a execução...

estilo próprio de regência, tambem é um espetáculo à parte...

fantástico
