On this week’s Classical Sounds I feature great recording of the late Claudio Abbado who died on the 20th January.  As I said in a previous post he was on my bucket list of great conductors I always wanted to see.

This programme was broadcast on Claremorris Community Radio Radio on Sunday 2nd February 2014

An unusual tribute was given last week by  the La Scala  Philharmonic  Orchestra at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where they preformed in an “empty room with open door”   the Funeral March Second mov. Adagio  from the Symphony no. 3  by Beethoven, under the baton of Daniel Barenboim. Watch it below.
