Claudio Abbado - The Complete Recordings On Deutsc

Claudio Abbado

Claudio Abbado and Deutsche Grammophon have worked together for over four decades. Countless authoritative albums have been produced, and his recordings of the Beethoven and Mahler symphonies have reference character. To honor the extraordinary career of the famous conductor, the label is now releasing a strictly limited and hand-numbered edition of 2,650 copies of his recordings for DG, Decca and Philips on 257 CDs and 8 DVDs. The lavishly finished box presents this CD collection as if it were a small bookshelf. Abbado's art is a legacy, revealing the immense range of his repertoire, which he performed with the world's greatest artists: inside and orchestras The list of singers: inside and instrumentalist: inside is long, with whom Claudio Abbado recorded, Cecilia Bartoli, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel, Martha Argerich and Alfred Brendel, Evgeny Kissin and Yuja Wang, Giuliano Carmignola and Gidon Kremer and many more, who collected precious memories during this period and not infrequently performed on stage or recorded music with him many times. Some of them, such as Alfred Brendel, Yuja Wang or Evgeni Kissin, have their say in the accompanying 112-page hardcover book, which has been enriched with many rare pictures. A new essay about Abbado, texts about his work with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the LSO and other ensembles, a personal greeting from his children and a detailed index round off this beautiful coffee table book.
