Claudio Abbado - The Last Years

Review by Raquel Souza

The Last Years by Claudio Abbado is a posthumous release that showcases the maestro's final recordings with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. The album is a fitting tribute to Abbado's legacy, as it features some of his most memorable performances of the late Romantic repertoire.

The album begins with a stirring rendition of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 9. Abbado's interpretation of the piece is characterized by its emotional depth and nuanced phrasing. The Lucerne Festival Orchestra's playing is equally impressive, with the musicians exhibiting a remarkable level of precision and sensitivity.

Other highlights of the album include Abbado's take on Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 and Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 2. In both cases, Abbado's attention to detail and his ability to bring out the nuances of the music shine through.
