Lucerne Festival: Abbado conducts Bruckner 5

'Abbado's approach to the music of Bruckner is soft and songlike, at times tense and urgent, but constantly filles with warmth of feeling (…)' wrot critic Peter Hagmann in the 'Neue Züricher Zeitung'. On 19 August 2011 Claudio Abbado and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra presented Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 5 and did credit to this review. The handpicked players of the orchestra filled the famous concert hall in the Culture and Convention Centre Lucerne with impressive and unforgettable sounds.
