There has to be more to the story than this, if indeed the project is being terminated.

I don't think there is any more to the story.
Abbado is hardly the first conductor to tell a soloists how they should play their part.
To give you an extreme, George Szell was known to sit down at a piano and demonstrate to soloists how he thought certain passages should be played.
Then there is the famous Gould/Bernstein concert -- it was in pretty bad to announce prior to the concert that he thought his soloists was wrong.
There are conductors that are that way, yes. However, Claudio Abbado is very well known as a "musician's conductor." He does not operate that way. There has to be something more to the story, or the story itself is false. Haven't read the rest of this thread yet, but judging from some of the subject lines, it seems the project is still going.
Now I have read the other posts - if indeed there were "artistic differences," and the project was given up, I can assure you that they went much farther than the mere choice of a cadenza.
All this drama over some Mozart ??? There's no problem,the project was scrapped right??? They now have the time to consider a "worthwhile" project. (He,he,he,he....)
