Claudio Abbado, Lucerne Festival Orchestra – Bruckner 5

Anton Bruckner
Symphony No. 5 
in B flat major (WAB 105; Nowak edition)

Lucerne Festival Orchestra
Claudio Abbado

 “Abbado’s approach to the music of Bruckner is soft and songlike, at times tense and urgent, but constantly filled with warmth of feeling” – not only the Neue Zürcher Zeitung is full of praise when Claudio Abbado and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra play Bruckner. Their interpretation of his awe-inspiring Fifth Symphony reflects the composer’s burgeoning powers and exquisite compositional artistry. As The Guardian poetically states: “The composer himself, one suspects, might have leapt to embrace Abbado as an ideal interpreter.”

            

„The orchestra, combining old friends and young talents, radiates a fabulously chamber-musical quality.“ – Financial Times

„… simply buy it, mortgaging the cat if need be. Crystal-clear camera work and perfect sound.“ – Classical Music Magazine

“The sound is excellent, the camerawork sensitive and technically first-rate. Abbado himself is invariably the main focus of attention and he’s wonderful to watch: theatrical posing and outsize gestures are evidently foreign to his nature. What you see is clear cueing, a discernible beat and subtle facial responses. The players vary in age and appearance: no stiffening dress-code clamps down with unwarranted formality, just well-dressed men and women totally into the business of making great music. And boy, do they deliver!” – Gramophone’s Top 10 Bruckner Recordings (click here)
