Sinfonia N.4

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Romanian conductor Sergiu Celibidache (1912-96) was one of the most adamant personalities in the music world. He rehearsed three times as much as other conductors and avoided making recordings because he believed they were a false representation his musical intentions. This concert from the Herkulessaal in Munich captures one of the rare occasions on which he consented to a recording being made. He conducts the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra with Anton Bruckners Romantic Symphony No. 4 in E flat major.

SPECIAL FEATURE: Interview with Sergiu Celibidache about conducting Bruckners Symphony No. 4

REVIEW
'The Munich orchestra plays with exceptional clarity, dedication and fearless dynamic control, a reflection, no doubt of the conductor's legendary meticulousness of preparation.' --Julian Haylock, International Record Review

'An initial session with [this] performance confirms that among the most striking aspects of Sergiu Celibidache's Bruckner is its tendency toward extreme breadth. Music, for him, is a form of liberation. The videoed evidence is impressive:. you do indeed gain the impression of someone enjoying a profound sense of inner freedom. This is Celibidache on a roll and the interview material is at the very least interesting.' --Rob Cowan - Gramophone Awards 2012 Issue

'Firm architecture, steadfast belief, sober conducting, no added rhetoric: these are the star qualities in Sergiu Celibidache's Bruckner (1983).' Performance ****/Picture & Sound **** --Geoff Brown, BBC Music Magazine - Dec.'12
