Bruckner: I/IX

When, on 26th August 2013 in the KKL Concert Hall, Claudio Abbado conducted a performance of Bruckners Ninth with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, there was present in the room an inescapable sense of an ending. To this day, those present recall the conductors gesture of gratitude and thanks at the final ovation: Abbado placed his right hand on his heart with that gently self-effacing yet friendly look which was so characteristic of this man who was a star conductor yet who was devoid of any lordly airs. The premonition that this could turn out to be the last concert of Abbados could be felt in the atmosphere. And what a concert experience it was, this last concert and therefore also the last concert recording of Claudio Abbado!
