From the very moment James Judd passed the baton to Claudio Abbado at our inaugural concert in May 1981, we embarked on the most exciting of musical journeys which spanned twenty one years. Whether on or off the stage, it has been our great good fortune to share with Claudio in the creation and the development of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.Over those years from 1981 to 2002, we gave a considerable number of great concerts with Claudio throughout the world. Our legacy is now the astonishing list of award-winning recordings. For those of us who came to know Claudio well, there was something remarkable about a man of so few words who nevertheless had such a truly profound impact on the musical lives of so many.01.
