[f_minor] OT: Abbado

[Cline, Eric]

This is so sad. He was my favorite Mahler conductor, bar none. I think
his Mendelssohn 4th symphony recording with the London Symphony
Orchestra is just magnificent. 

 

I love the giddy energy in that performance and the beautiful lyrical
melody lines he brought out in it. It is truly an "Italian" symphony. He
will be sorely missed. I had always hoped he would record Mahler's "Das
Lied von der Erde". I know there was a video of his performance of that
work on the Berlin Philharmonic website but I am not a digital
subscriber.
