This evening the Orchestra Mozart will perform the opening concert under the baton of Claudio Abbado. The Maestro’s career, his essential embodiment of the universal language of music, certainly needs no presentation. I cannot even begin to sum up the course of his art.
Let me merely recall that he has conducted some of the world’s greatest orchestras: the Berliner Philarmoniker, the Wiener Philarmoniker, La Scala.
