Martha Argerich & Claudio Abbado: Complete Concerto Recordings

Incredible precision in every musical detail, total clarity of formal structure, and polyphonic transparency were the principal characteristics of Claudio Abbado’s conducting. Abbado made his first recording for Deutsche Grammophon in 1967: benchmark readings of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major and Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.3 with Martha Argerich.
