Claudio Abbado Memorial Concert: Schubert, Berg, and Mahler — With Andris Nelsons and Isabelle Faust Lucerne Festival

About

A worthy and dignified farewell to a true luminary: music, words, and silence all have their turn in this concert dedicated to the memory of Claudio Abbado, the visionary conductor who passed away on January 20, 2014. The Lucerne Festival Orchestra pays homage to the man who brought them together, a devoted friend and consummate artist. The empty podium—left unoccupied during the first movement of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony—is a powerful symbol of the void left by Abbado's death.
