I am Claudio – for all quickly became a much-quoted quote from the maestro. What particularly distinguished Claudio Abbado was his unpretentious, noble character, his democratic understanding of music-making,and his gift for celebrating the live moment as such, without talking up the aura of a work in rehearsals. The documentary gets close to Abbado as a person; and shows what of him still resonates today, even into the younger generation of musicians.
