Claudio Abbado conducts Schoenberg & Mahler

What makes Abbado's Mahler performances so remarkable is that their impact is never achieved at the expense of the multiple sensitivities, subtleties and extreme sophistication. Together with one of the world's leading youth orchestras - the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester - Abbado performs Mahler's Fourth Symphony and Schoenberg's Pelleas und Melisande, the latter being preceded by an introduction that offers fascinating insights into this unparalleled composition.
