Claudio Abbado is undeniably the supreme Mahler conductor of our time. With his Lucerne Festival Orchestra he has set new standards in the field of classical music, especially in the interpretation of works by Gustav Mahler.

The core of the orchestra is provided by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, itself an élite body of players. Soloists like violinist Kolja Blacher, clarinettist Sabine Meyer, oboist Albrecht Mayer, violist Wolfram Christ, cellist Natalia Gutman, the Hagen Quartet and members of the Alban Berg Quartet to name just a few, make the Lucerne Festival Orchestra a star-studded ensemble.

The DVDs and Blu-ray Discs of Claudio Abbado's Mahler symphonies recordings Nos 1-7 have already proven to be true Best-sellers. On the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of Mahler's Death (May 18, 2011), EuroArts release a luxurious 4 Blu-ray Box set, containing the Mahler Symphonies Nos 1-7 with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Claudio Abbado.
