Giulini conducting Beethoven 9 in c1974. Monumental in its own right and life enhancing and changing for me.
What was your first #EdintFest concert ever? Can you remember the very first piece of music you heard that night?

Thank you for sharing your
#EdintFest70 memory with us, John! Any other musical highlight across the years? ^M -
As former EFC member too many to name but whether in chorus or in audience most involved Claudio Abaddo...a truly irreplaceable genius.
-
And if you were to pick a single piece of music conducted by Claudio Abbado at
#EdintFest for our weekly playlist, what would that be? ^M -
Has to be first concert I heard him. Mahler 5th symphony. Sitting in choir stalls an overwhelming musical, spiritual and visual experience.

1972, age 18, on my own to Berlioz Trojans. Conducted by Gibson. Baker was ill but sang the life out of it. The start of my love for Berlioz

#EdintFest70 memory with us, Mike! We'll be sure to add Berlioz to our playlist this week ^M

Usher Hall, Yehudi Menuhin playing French courtly dances with Rudolf Nureyev dancing - it was absolutely extraordinary
