Never have I heard as magisterial and moving performance of the work as that given by the 80-year-old maestro and his fabulous Lucerne Festival Orchestra.”(Wall Street Journal)The most recent Abbado / Mozart release featuring Martha Argerich has not only received critical acclaim worldwide, but did really well commercially: the album entered the pop charts in Italy at 16 and is still in the German classical charts at number 4 .With 40,000 units sold today, it is one of DG' s bestselling core classical albums of 2014 & is still going strong. This new and unique Bruckner album has a real potential amongst the core classical audiences worldwide. To support the release, DG has filmed an interview with Sid McLauchlan who has been Claudio Abbado's DG producer for many years.
