Performer Biography

Sergiu Celibidache, one of the great conductors of the 20th century, was born in Roman, Romania, in 1912 and studied composition, conducting, and piano in Berlin.

Interpretation

This album features a program typical of Celibidache's approach, sharply contrasting a Haydn symphony with a Tchaikovsky symphony.

Interpretation

Sergiu Celibidache was known for his extensive rehearsal demands and his rejection of sound recordings, which led him to work predominantly with radio orchestras.

Performer Biography

After World War II, Sergiu Celibidache became the interim chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, seeing himself as a deputy to Wilhelm Furtwängler and aiming to restore the orchestra.

Recording & Production

This recording was made from original SWR tapes in 1959 at the legendary broadcasting hall of the Villa Berg in Stuttgart.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Sergiu Celibidache rigorously rejected records and studio recordings, believing that only the real acoustics and one-off live sound had essential value.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Celibidache developed a 'phenomenology of music' based on the research of Edmund Husserl and his composition teacher Heinz Tiessen, which aimed for maximum objectivity in musical interpretation.
