Claudio Abbado conducts Beethoven and Mendelssohn

Berlin

Deutschland

Berliner Philharmonie

In this concert, Claudio Abbado conducts works that impress with their powerful choral singing, while fascinating due to their unusual form: Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy with Maurizio Pollini as the pianist, followed by Mendelssohn’s Second Symphony, known as the Lobgesang (Hymn of Praise). This recording from 2002 is also unusual in that although both pieces are widely known, they are not often performed in concert.
