The Guardian
One concert above all stood out in 2007: Claudio Abbado's performances of Mahler's Third Symphony at the Lucerne festival and the Proms. From where I was sitting in the Albert Hall that night in August, I could watch Abbado's eyes and hands coax the music from the matchless players of his Lucerne Festival Orchestra. The whole experience, from the Promethean opening movement to the outpouring of love and song in the finale, was etched on his features, and every nuance was communicated to the audience by the players. Music-making like this is life-changing, revelatory; it's something you're lucky ever to experience.
