REVIEW
Gramophone Magazine DVD of the Month, May 2011 --Gramophone, May 2011

This a compelling and intrinsic account of the Ninth Symphony, superbly played with power and transparency and a wide dynamic range (faithfully captured by the live recording in the KKL Concert Hall, Lucerne in August 2010). Solos are unfailingly characterful but always integrated into the musical fabric. The filming itself is intelligent and pertinent.
This is an altogether special performance and serves the greatness of the music. --The Classical Review, Colin Anderson, March 2011
A rendition . of astonishing depth and subtlety --Daily Telegraph

Claudio Abbado: an interpretation of Mahler that is luminous, fluid and fabulous in its orchestral transparency. His interpretations are gaining in clarity and spirituality: he has become a master of silence. With Abbado and Lucerne one is conscious of moments of timelessness. --Le Figaro

The listener is rendered speechless at the thrilling depth and perfection of the symbiosis achieved here between artistic wisdom and undimmed joy in making music at the highest level. --Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
