In 2008 Rai Radio 3 (Italian National Radio channel 3), inside its evening program "Radio3 Suite", broadcast a 10-episode program dedicated to Kleiber's legacy: "Il Sorriso della Musica: un Ritratto di Carlos Kleiber" ("The Smile Of Music: A Portrait Of Carlos Kleiber"), organized and hosted by Andrea Ottonello, with participation by Claudio Abbado, Mirella Freni, Maurizio Pollini, and above all Carlos Kleiber's sister, Veronica. In his interview, Abbado termed Kleiber "one of the greatest, if not the greatest, conductors of the 20th century" ("Carlos è stato uno dei più grandi, se non il più grande, direttore del Novecento.")
