Muti steps in to save Abbado’s orchestra
mainThe Orchestra Mozart, Abbado’s creation, was wound up last month, a few days before he died.
Now Riccardo Muti, his colleague, friend and occasional rival, has let it be known that he is bringing the orchestra together again for a tribute concert this summer at the Ravenna Festival, directed by his wife, Cristina Mazzavillani. Cristina said: ‘The most important tribute we can pay to the memory of the great conductor is to revive and continue the work of his Mozart Orchestra.’
