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.

Orchestral music has rarely been this alive. --Timothy Pfaff, Bay Area Reporter
