Please Call Me Claudio…

Germany 2023 | 52 minutes | English, Italian, German, French | Hebrew, English subtitles

"I am Claudio - for all" quickly became a much-quoted quote from the maestro. Claudio Abbado empathised with his musicians. What particularly distinguished Claudio Abbado was his unpretentious, noble character, his democratic understanding of music-making and his gift for celebrating the live moment as such, without talking up the aura of a work in rehearsals. The documentary (on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Claudio Abbado's death) takes a retrospective look at his life, his performances and recordings, gets close to him as a person; and shows what of Abbado still resonates today, even into the younger generation of musicians. Musicians recount their memories of the decisive moment when Claudio Abbado took the stage at the Berlin Philharmonie on 27 January 2001 to conduct the Missa da Requiem on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Verdi.
