About

Praise for the previously released DVD:
"Here is the Lucerne Festival Orchestra performance that Abbado brought to the 2007 Proms. Judging by this DVD the praise lavished on it was justified: Abbado draws a reading of such commitment, technical polish and interpretative acuity that you can only marvel at Mahler's musicalmetaphysical vision and Abbado's sensitive shaping of it. … The secret of his art, beautifully underlined here, is not to impose a tyro-personality on music or orchestra, but to give his musicians space to express themselves. In that sense this Mahler 3 has an echt-Mahlerian aura, suggesting struggle, discord and beauty as part of an indivisible, mystical whole. Reviewers last summer described it as an "unrepeatable musical event". Well, here's the repeat, to be savoured, admired, cherished." - Financial Times

"Abbado's performance of this work at last year's Proms was the highlight of the season: all the reviewers were unanimous. Illness prevented him from then conducting it in New York (Boulez took over) but now we can see the 2007 Lucerne concert performance and marvel at its comprehensiveness and refinement. This really is the world's greatest chamber group, as Abbado intended it to be!" - Hi-Fi News

"Easily the greatest orchestral musicmaking of the 21st century so far…Abbado does not put a foot wrong…so engaging and flawless" - BBC Music Magazine 5 stars
