Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Claudio Abbado
Accentus ACC20243 (DVD), ACC10243 (blu-ray)
Two groups of people will need no encouragement to buy this (albeit pricey) performance on DVD or blu-ray: those who have been following Abbado’s revelatory Mahler cycle filmed by EuroArts (and latterly Accentus); and those who heard these musicians bring the work to the RFH last year. Anyone else should simply buy it, mortgaging the cat if need be. Crystal-clear camera work and perfect sound.
