		CLAUDIO Abbado is one of the finest orchestra conductors in the world, perhaps the finest, and is also an artist who feels committed to great causes.
		Abbado has the ability to unite, mix and blend the sounds of hundreds of instruments played by men and women, young and old people, his starting point being those "little fl symbols, incomprehensible" to almost everyone, and regales the dreams dreamed by Mozart, Bach or Beethoven.
		Abbado’s vocation as founder and professor of young instrumentalists led him to become the lead conductor of the European Youth Orchestra in 1978, and of the Mahler Youth Orchestra from which the MCO Orchestra was derived in 1986.

	MAHLER symphony 3 Abbado [TD]: Classical CD Reviews- July2002 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This performance of Mahler’s Third was given by Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic in London in October 1999.
		Abbado appreciates the importance of the movement and so makes it memorable by paying it the same attention to detail he has to the first.
		Dark and commanding, she is more effective than the too-operatic Jessye Norman in Abbado’s earlier recording is. Since his first recording Abbado also has come over to the school of thought that believes the oboe soloist (and later cor anglais) should interpret Mahler’s hinaufziehen marking in the solos as an upward glissando.

	classical music - andante - claudio abbado's farewell to berlin
		After 12 years as chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Claudio Abbado bid farewell to his audience with an emotionally charged concert that was as moving, sad and painful as it was beautiful, exhilarating and breathtaking.
		Next to the score, Abbado had a small screen from which he took his cues: Shostakovich's music follows the movie so closely that many gestures — a turn of the head, a glance, a bolt of lightning — are actually reflected in the music.
		In Abbado's mind, perhaps, they might be found among his musicians: after all, the conductor reportedly feels "betrayed" in that the orchestra did not want him anymore — which would have made his farewell program in Berlin a sort of memoir.

	Claudio Abbado: Hearing the Silence — Sketches for a Portrait
		Abbado insists on listening--horizontally as well as vertically--among the players; this quality the musicans Daniel Harding, Wolfram Christ, and Albrecht Mayer insist distinguishes Abbado’s approach from the more authoritarian character of the Berlin Philharmonic’s prior leaders.
		The ultimate democrat in music, Abbado achieves for his players a feeling that they are free to shape the music for themselves, without however having yielded his own authority in any way.
		Abbado claims that his favorite audience is that which respects the silence before and after the music; and the tension Abbado maintains even after the last bars have faded from the Brahms Requiem and Debussy’s La Mer bear witness to command awe for music from his auditors.

		Some later recordings from Claudio Abbado's tenure with the Berlin Philharmonic —; he left in 2002 — have seemed a little bland.
		Abbado stays close to Beethoven's oft-ignored metronome markings, which gives a nervous edge to the Ninth's first movement — and elegant dovetailing of tempos in the choral finale.
		He wisely "corrects" what are almost certainly wrong note values on markings for the trio of the scherzo and the marchlike tenor solo in the finale; both move along quite briskly.
