His passing on 20 January 2014 marked the end of an era in classical music. Only five months earlier, Claudio Abbado, one of the foremost conductors of the last and current century, had made what would turn out to be his last concert appearance. In late August 2013, at the 75th Lucerne Festival, Abbado conducted Schubert and Bruckner: indelible interpretations of two unfinished symphonies that both begin in darkness and end in an ethereal E major. The festival's chief executive, Michael Haefliger, recalled: "There was a sense in the hall that it might possibly be his final concert, so far removed and deeply transfigured did Claudio Abbado seem to all of us on this unforgettable evening, in this moment of unfathomable silence."

The occasion was recorded by Accentus Music. Now Deutsche Grammophon is honoured to announce the audio release of what the Wall Street Journal's critic described as "an otherworldly account of Bruckner's 9th Symphony," adding, "Never have I heard as magisterial and moving performance of the work as that given by the 80-year-old maestro and his fabulous Lucerne Festival Orchestra."

The Neue Z?rcher Zeitung called it "a great performance ? the encounter with the transcendental [in the Adagio] has seldom been as harrowing as here ? Abbado's secret: achieving unparalleled emotionality, but generating it entirely from the musical structure."

With this release of Claudio Abbado's "swan-song", the Yellow Label pays tribute to the maestro six months after the loss to the world of one of the most inspirational classical musicians of modern times.

Mark Wilkinson, Deutsche Grammophon President, said: "This unique release, and special collaboration with Accentus, is a final and fitting tribute to the unique artistry of a true master of classical music recording."
