Claudio Abbado conducts Beethoven and Mendelssohn
Claudio Abbado conducts works here that captivate with powerful choral singing and unusual forms: Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy with Maurizio Pollini at the piano, followed by Mendelssohn’s Second Symphony known as Lobgesang. Although both works are widely known, they are rarely performed together.
