In the year of Abbado’s 80th birthday (26. June), this album celebrates a true legend of the world of classical music.
Claudio Abbado’s interpretation of the Second Symphony is his first recording of a Schumann symphony for DG. The noble “Genoveva” and stirring “Manfred” overtures are exalted additions to this album.
About his Second as performed at the Lucerne Easter Festival, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung extolled Abbado’s reading as of “the purest beauty”, while Berlin’s Der Tagesspiegel found Abbado’s way with the symphony “liberating”.

“Abbado’s evident love for this symphony is delightfully infectious. Textures are really clear, and while the string section is larger than this orchestra usually wields, it still sounds and feels very much like a chamber ensemble, with all the transparency that such a group brings. The woodwind are remarkably light and airy.” Presto Classical
