My Take

Roberto Abbado carries a famous surname in classical music, and to me the interesting thing is how he has built a distinct, durable career on his own terms rather than coasting on it. Conducting both opera and symphonic repertoire, his work with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and his role as music director of the Festival Verdi in Parma speak to a musician trusted with serious institutional responsibility. Verdi in Parma is hallowed ground, and being entrusted with it is no small endorsement. I respect conductors who move fluidly between the pit and the concert hall, and his long, steady international presence suggests substance over spectacle.

Overview
