- Talk about upsets. When the members of the player-governed
- Berlin Philharmonic voted by secret ballot on a replacement for
- the legendary Herbert von Karajan, they bypassed such stars as
- the New York Philharmonic's Zubin Mehta and La Scala's Riccardo
- Muti. The winner of the prestigious post is Claudio Abbado, 56.
- The Milan-born conductor, a professorial type who favors
- corduroy and cardigans, pronounced himself "profoundly honored."
- The busy maestro will continue as the music director of the
- state opera in Vienna, where he lives with Russian violinist
- Viktoria Mullova, 29.
