Claudio Abbado conducts works by Schumann and Berg

In this concert, Claudio Abbado conducts music full of sensitivity, including Robert Schumann’s Second Symphony, a highly sensitive piece, full of fragile nervousness. He is joined by two top-class soloists in works by Alban Berg: mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter in the Altenberg-Lieder, and in the Violin Concerto, Isabelle Faust, who impressed the audience with her “soaring, almost halucinatory tone” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).
