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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  SPECIAL FEATURE: Interview with Sergiu Celibidache about conducting Bruckners Symphony No. 4 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e '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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Firm architecture, steadfast belief, sober conducting, no added rhetoric: these are the star qualities in Sergiu Celibidache's Bruckner (1983).'
