I thought I knew this work well. When you hear a different performance of a work, it is like hearing the work for the first time.

[@Kobzar3374]

I could say that this is the most beautiful, the most lovely of Bruckner's symphonies, the most "Schubertian." The ninth one is the most sublime; the eighth, the most overwhelming; the seventh, the most moving. I have nothing so short and simple to say about the others yet… Bravo, Bruckner; bravo, Celibidache, and bravo, MPO. Thank you for sharing this video, keep up the good work, and best greetings from Spain.

[@larryprimeau5885]

the best Bruckner imo is the Adagio or second movement of the 5th symphony. could be the most beautiful divinely inspired ever written by anybody.

[@siamakanbarani4977]

For me, Bruckner is the greatest of all composers who have come after Beethoven. So grateful that I found his music , because I don't have any music background or any teacher or a friend to show me the way. I found him by accident. Now I am so happy with a life that his music is a part of.

I have heard Bruckner's 5th Symphony performed many times and have more than 40 CDs of it. Maestro Celibidache's live recording of his performance of this piece at Tokyo Suntry Hall in 1986 is truly a performance that surpassed human achievement. In other words, It was a "divine performance". Of course, the Munich live performance in this video is also very very good.

[@scottsmith5361]

You really ,I mean Really know what you are taking about! And why not? You also have the extensive experience to back it up. i look forward to your future observations.

[@BritinIsrael]

The finest ever Bruckner conductor. His tempi are perfect and you can actually here individual instrumental lines that are smothered out by the full orchestra in other performances. Extensive rehearsals pay off.

[@dameinoferrall2400]

that makes some sense. Bruckner didn't catch on for me with other conductors, some of them fine Brucknarians. It was Celi's approach which helped me hear the music in a way I wasn't hearing it before. I now prefer the interpretations of a few other conductors a bit more, Wand to name one, but Celi's Bruckner will always be, for me, timeless!

[@henrykaspar3634]

His tempi are perfect with his phrasing. Other conductors wouldn’t be able to hold these tempi without the music disintegrating.

[@dusankosanovic5386]

I haven't been a fan recently. Nowadays I can't listen to nobody's Bruckner except Celi's.

[@christophebouttemy3238]

Sinopoli's Bruckner is also nice I think.

[@BritinIsrael]

I agree but try out the 4th symphony with the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra conducted by Inbal. One of the finest performances of a Btuckner symphony you will ever hear, with a terrifc orchestra and wonderful recording quality. The first horn is magnificent throughout. all on KZbin. Enjoy.

"Best conductor of all times" give me a break ingnorant, there is nothing like "the best " and Bruckner is a Good second rate composer.

[@pierrenouama4146]

At the helm of a superbly disciplined Munich Philharmonic, Celibidache seems to abolish the notion of time, stretching melodies like caresses, completely forgetting himself to let the music occupy the field alone. The nobility and the gigantic breath imparted to this music from another world by Celibidache create an intense and unforgettable emotion. Like an open door to eternity. Was Bruckner made for Celibidache or the other way around?

[@BritinIsrael]

So wonderfully put. Celibidache's tempii are in my humble opinion just perfect. His extensive rehearsal times result in performances that allow the listener to hear every single instrumental line without being drowned by the full orchestra. No other conductor can compete with him when it comes to Bruckner.

[@toape2002]

Excellent description ! 🙏🤗

[@threethrushes]

To answer your question directly Pierre, Celibidache was made for Bruckner.

[@klausmundus5785]

The only conductor who understood the right tempi in Bruckners works. Also Celibidache had a very very good ear and we was thinking a long time about an interpretation, before a Bruckner Symphony started. Once he said, nobody had such a feeling about polyphonic and harmonic structures like Bruckner, except Mozart and Bach. Celibidache, MPO and Bruckner are absolute awesome.

[@dusankosanovic5386]

Perhaps I love each of his notes too much and Master Celibidache did it always transparently readable as you follow the composer's thoughts during the reading of the score. Perhaps I have stepped in such a mood during my years and life turbulences...the each Celi's Bruckner is a remedy on the open wound, fantastic!

Bruckner was a genius.Why could he be so underestimated in lifetime?Unbelievable.

[@MrInterestingthings]

He wasn't connected by schooling like Mahler and the rest .In person he was rather a countryfolk.His learning wasn't enough to endear him to Viennese or anyone else. Mahler as a Jew was much better at getting important posts and working thru the hoops . And in 2022 few people wanna listen to a 90minute symphony. 3rdand 4th Symphonies have gorgeous melodies and lighter textures . Starting with No.5 Bruckner gets closer to the 20th century but he's still oldfashioned.Mahler was more to the now and anxiety and cruelty of 20th century. I prefer Messiaen & Boulez Roger Sessions.Even the Vaughan-Williams symphonies are less taxing with their unfolding melodies but the English are afraid of harshness and the truth.Ustvolskaya kicks their butts each and every time! I aint got time for Romantic era .

Celibidache, the man who stops the clocks and makes fun of the metronome. He directs, like someone who is bullfighting with his cape, the set of the veronica again and again, with incredible slowness. He was also a gypsy, like some of the most extraordinary creators of cape bullfighting.

Just one complaint...and it's nothing to do with the magnificent performance. What has the camera director got against the horn section? Especially in the final glorious pages of this score the horns play a pivotal role as much as the other brass, but there's not one single shot of the horn section. Very bad direction.
