Symphony No. 4 'Italian', F. Mendelssohn, Sir Georg Solti, Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Beethoven – symf. 6 ‘pastorale’

Claudio Abbado conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. La Repubblica called it: 'The most wonderful symphonic cycle of the past decade.' The Beethoven Symphonies recorded live in Rome at Santa Cecilia marks the high-point of Abbado's relationship with the Berliner Philharmoniker and his 12 years as chief conductor. And a triumph in his homeland Italy, a triumph in his homeland Italy. watch the trailer
