Claudio Abbado conducts the Berlin Philharmonic

Claudio Abbado conducts the Berlin Philharmonic in Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante and Hindemith's Symphony: Mathis der Maler.

As a tribute to its former music director ten years after his death, the Berlin Philharmonic has released concert recordings which capture some of the glories of the Abbado years. In this concert recorded in 1995, we hear as soloists in Mozart's Sinfonie Concertante two of the musicians who helped Abbado to forge a new identity for the orchestra after the Karajan years. Also in the programme, Hindemith's 'Mathis der Mahler', premiered by the Berlin Philharmonic ninety years ago this month.

Introduced by Fiona Talkington.
