Claudio Abbado (1933-2014)

As the endlessly sad news of Maestro Abbado’s passing broke on Monday 20th January 2014, heartfelt tributes quickly poured in from around the world.

Sir Simon Rattle: “...a great musician and a generous man...”
Gustavo Dudamel: “...will always be part of the exalted group of geniuses in the history of the arts...”
Daniel Harding “one of the wonders of the world”
Tom Service: “weren’t mere performances of pieces of music, they were transformative existential journeys”.
