Please Review Description. Review Most of Abbado's work at Lucerne has appeared on DVD, and this latest hews to the series' high video standards. What we see, astride this greatest of festival orchestras, is not a frail man, but rather, one pared down to essentials, a perfect match for his music-making. Lest that sound like this late music is austere or desiccated, followers of this decade-plus festival adventure will recognize the refined sonorities at its heart - pianissimi-like rays from a remote region of space, obliterating fortissimi, and sounds glowing everywhere on the spectrum between. Orchestral music has rarely been this alive. --Timothy Pfaff, Bay Area Reporter
