"With these videos, not only are outstanding concerts of the Berliner Philharmoniker made available, but the development of the orchestra in this time can also be followed. In addition to its rapid rejuvenation, the transformation of the orchestra’s sound is particularly notable. Not least due to the cooperative environment initiated by Abbado, it resulted in a new culture of listening to each other, which was reflected in a growing, almost chamber music-like transparency – an inheritance that the Berliner Philharmoniker still benefit from today."
