Biography

Claudio Abbado, a visionary conductor

Abbado’s artistic vision and confidence resounded loud and clear throughout a lifetime of revelatory performances and recordings. Familiar music, whether by Beethoven, Mussorgsky or Debussy, found fresh color, clarity and rhythmic vitality, while neglected scores by Verdi, Rossini and others took their rightful place in the repertoire. Anti-autocratic, profoundly human, and supremely musical, Abbado strove to situate music within its wider artistic context while championing 20th-century figures from the giants of the Second Viennese School to the leading composers of modern Italy and undertaking a deep personal exploration of the symphonic world of Mahler.
