BIOGRAFIA
Claudio Abbado made his debut in 1960, at the Teatro alla Scala in his home city of Milan, and was music director there from 1968 to 1986. He also served as music director of the London Symphony Orchestra from 1983 until 1986. Having conducted the Wiener Philharmoniker for the first time in 1965, he became music director of the Vienna State Opera from 1986 to 1991, and in 1987 General­musikdirektor of the City of Vienna. In 1988 he initiated the “Wien Modern” Festival. Claudio Abbado has always taken a particular interest in young musicians: as founder and music director of the Youth Orchestra of the European Union and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, artistic director of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and founder and principal conductor of the new Lucerne Festival Orchestra. He has recorded for Deutsche Grammophon since 1967, amassing a discography that in­cludes the entire symphonic works of Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Ravel and more than 20 complete opera recordings. His recordings have won innumerable awards, including Gramophone and Echo Awards, Grammy®, Diapason d’or and Record Academy Award, Tokyo.

Abbado’s numerous honours and awards include the Gran Croce, the highest honour bestowed by the Italian Republic, the Cross of the Legion of Honour from the French Minister of Culture and the Grosses Verdienstkreuz des Verdienstordens (the highest honour awarded by the Federal Republic of Germany). In 1973, the Wiener Philharmoniker awarded him the Ring of Honour, and in 1980 the Golden Nicolai Medal. In Vienna in 1985, he received the Gold Medal of the International Gustav Mahler Society for his services to the composer’s music; in Düsseldorf in 2004, the Kythera Award for his “innumerable services to musical culture”.
