In memoriam Claudio Abbado
Description
Claudio Abbado, who passed away on 20 January 2014 in Bologna, gave Lucerne Festival innumerable outstanding musical experiences. The Lucerne Festival Orchestra honors him with a special memorial concert at the Easter Festival. Opening the program is the first movement from SCHUBERT's Unfinished Symphony, which Claudio Abbado conducted during his last performance in Lucerne in August 2013 -- the final concert of his career. The program continues with Alban BERG's Violin Concerto, which is dedicated "to the memory of an angel." The soloist is Isabelle Faust, who recorded this very work with Claudio Abbado in 2011. To conclude the concert, the LFO performs the finale from Gustav MAHLER's Third Symphony, which the composer originally planned to title "What love tells me." Conductor is Andris Nelsons.
