One of my favorite conductors, especially for his version of the Pergolesi Stabat Mater. Here he conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in Brahms' Hungarian Dance number 4. Controlling a large mass of musicians so that they end up producing a sound that is not only coherent, not only pleasing, but sometimes magical, is far from easy. Abbado could do it.
