PEOPLE, Page 65The Winnah!By J.D. Reed
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.
