Immediately after his inauguration at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra the Berlin Wall fell. And Abbado started a network amongst cultural institutions that is still growing. »Allways, and nowadays even more, Berlin is a melting pott of different languages, ethnos, and ways of living. Thus it is a model of Europe – if only we manage to overcome nationalistic and even regionalistic tendencies«, Lidia Bramani from Italy says who talked to Claudio Abbado and brought down all the episodes, artistic concepts and aethetical positions of this book.
»Epicur«, Claudio himself formulates in again and again coming back to basic aspects of politics of culture, »emphasised that joy and ratio, if held divided, stay fruitless. In this sence arts still has a lot to tell to politics!«
