Claudio Abbado - Bruckner/Beethoven - Naxos Deutschland

Every new recording by Claudio Abbado is a special event, and this recording from the 2005 Lucerne Festival is no exception: Bruckner's imposing Symphony No. 7 is captured live in a performance of immense climaxes and awesome silences, presented by the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, an elite ensemble of instrumentalists who have long been connected to Abbado. In the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3, Alfred Brendel - reputed throughout his long and distinguished career as one of the world's greatest pianists and Beethoven interpreters - is the worthy partner for Claudio Abbado and his orchestra. This DVD brings and outstanding musical event, that critics and audiences came from all over the world to attend, to the home screen.
