Ladyhawkke - and all in his memory too. He only used a score when there were three participants - orchestra, soloist and his brilliant self. If I have made an error in this statement please correct me but I believe it comes from a trustworthy source. The Maestro could 'demolish' a whole symphony in three to four working days at home, only needing a memory brush-up for later performances. All that and fluent in seven European languages. Whew! Makes me tired to think of it. One of Romania's greatest artists. So glad he adhered to his preference for music and didn't follow his heavy-handed father who wanted him to be a local government official.

THE BEST conductor of Ravel-Bolero EVER. Celibidache immortalized himself conducting this masterpiece

[@blusky7072]

Really?

[@vali69m]

Bolero was written especialy for Sergiu. Maestre, vei ramane nemuritor !!!

[@467-k1m]

Courtesy of Wikipedia.org "Maurice Ravel" The last composition Ravel completed in the 1920s, Boléro, became his most famous. He was commissioned to provide a score for Ida Rubinstein's ballet company & he decided on "an experiment in a very special and limited direction ... a piece lasting seventeen minutes and consisting wholly of orchestral tissue without music". Ravel continued that the work was "one long, very gradual crescendo. There are no contrasts, and there is practically no invention except the plan and the manner of the execution. The themes are altogether impersonal." He was astonished, and not wholly pleased, that it became a mass success. When one elderly member of the audience at the Opéra shouted "Rubbish!" at the premiere, he remarked, "That old lady got the message!" The work was popularised by the conductor Arturo Toscanini, and has been recorded several hundred times. Ravel commented to Arthur Honegger, one of Les Six, "I've written only one masterpiece - Boléro. Unfortunately there's no music in it."

He is nowhere else but smack-dab in the world of this piece of music. So playful and so appreciative of each member of the orchestra. Usually, maestros I have watched conduct, their egos have been fairly distracting. His playful confidence with the orchestra adds a whole other element to the experience.

His knowledge about the physics of sound, human psychology, and the physiology of the ear, all put together with his love for music can not be missed in the way he conducts (Although he would have hated that we are listening to a recorded performance!).

[@eduardotorres9743]

He lives every note, he explained in his Musical Phenomenology that a musician is discovering the music every instant, the composer just makes a suggestion but the music is created in the interpretation, with a fresh first look approach, even though every thing was over rehearsed and the tempo more likely slower than most conductors so we could appreciate the complexity of the body of sound. He does not look upon the repetitions as reiterating or monotonous, every new frase is a fresh new start note by note and the build up in intensity is monumental, with total control over the volumes to be able to reach brilliantly the culmination, still with lower volumes than most directors. I have never heard any conductor do anything remotely like this. He explained that it occurs naturally in all music but mostly in Ravel we should try listen the super harmonics several octaves higher that we ignore but in the case of Ravel he generously writes some of them down for us, you can here some of those higher harmonies around minute 8:08 or 10:41 but they are happening all the time we don't hear them because of the microphones used in the recordings, the occur naturally in the concert hall so you had to see him live otherwise that was not his music. Ichi go ichi e was part of his philosophy. This is a once in a lifetime interpretation, a historic event. The greatest conductor in history! He used to receive 20 and 30 minutes of applause. And wouldn't mind the coughing or any noises in the hall, everything for him was a part of that unique instant. He had a very deep understanding of art and human emotions with a Buddhist inspiration, I had the good fortune to see him several times, the experience was electrifying, mystical. Thank you for sharing! Even though he would have never authorized it... he was vehemently opposed to recordings and electronic reproduction of music, imagine that! Today we mostly only hear electronically reproduced music in low quality digital audio in computer speakers and headsets which filter out all the harmonics, noises and also the emotion of life, into a beautifully wrapped present but empty. Our modern world has forgotten or never appreciated these concepts, we only have this moment. in most composer's lifetime before recordings began their music could only be heard once or twice, in a very special event, a concert! while today we can repeat it a hundreds times, fix it in our memory and then we lose the spontaneity of the first listening, the first love! we always compare it with what we've heard before, we already "know" it, when it should be like the discovery of a new landscape, an adventure, like you see on his expressions on every note. Today we buy low quality digitalized emotion, ones and zeros with no heart. Please study this man and his philosophy it's very important. One of the greatest minds of the 20th century. what is beauty? Truth, and Truth sets us free. Why do we feel emotion when we listen to beautiful music? Because we are experiencing the Truth.

His moves are visually priceless... as if he spreads the seeds of every single note, every single beat and then harvests the fruit of the music... Priceless...RIP Maestro.

I have listened to so many Bolero interpretations by great orchestras and conductors because of its haunting nature. This interpretation, executed masterfully, is by far my all time favorite and the best ever I believe. The steady crescendo and climax are amazing in intensity and complement the whole. Five stars for the charismatic and loveable Sergiu Celibidache.

[@giannidessi2955]

Great performance not only the orchestra also the conductor whao!!! he really lives every note and its visible in his expression. I believe that all conductor Love The conducting the Bolero but by far this is the best I have seen

Best version of Bolero I have ever heard. He was a genius!

[@solangedesantis5515]

I had not even heard of Celibidache until recently. He has such control and communication. It is like he is playing the orchestra as one great instrument; there is such musical connection between players and leader.

[@kathleenemerson5248]

Well said; I think that is what a great conductor does.

[@geribertsch6923]

When I was young girl, my mother bought the album and played it for our family. I have always loved this piece and will continue to. I agree the conductor is awesome as he puts his entire self and body into conducting. Thank you.

At 11:00, The Maestro merges with the orchestra. At 14:48, the soul of Maurice Ravel returns from the dead and becomes one with the conductor and the orchestra. And in the end I, the humble viewer, immerse myself in the Oneness. No, not transcendent. DIVINE!

He is full of emotions evoked by music. The movement of his body, the expression of his face and the rhythmic movements of his hands are driven by the emotions. this is music, Emotions...Emotions send the messages to the brain...
