L’Alto Adige e l’estate dei giovani
Fu Claudio Abbado a vedere nel capoluogo altoatesino il terreno giusto per instaurare un rapporto virtuoso tra la città e il perfezionamento di giovani talenti. Viaggio nell'estate delle orchestre in Alto Adige, terra di Festival musicali di altissimo livello.
On the way to Dobbiaco
