It begins by getting out from the body, like a whisper, slowly, slowly... and it ends blowing your mind... It's like "Boléro" was composed for Celibidache, and Celibidache was born to conduct "Boléro"... The Master and the Masterpiece...

Oui!

[@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.

I have seen this video many times. Sometimes I don't revisit it for a few months . But when I do, I watch it incessantly. Over and over . I find something new each time. I'm mesmerized by this video. Ravel's Bolero is one of my favorite pieces of music . But this video ? Its mesmerizing , entrancing, incredibly passionate. I wish instead of a close up of the Master , it camera would have panned out to see him entirely. This man loses himself in this piece . He's no longer Sergiu, he's the entire orchestra, he becomes the embodiment of Bolero. From pianissimo to fortisimo. I watch it over and over and over and it mesmerizes me like the first time. My kids think I'm insane. I am for this video. I've made them watch it . Hopefully as they mature , they will see what brilliance , what a masterpiece this is.

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.

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.

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

[@dougholliday467]

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."

It's such a great thing to see one amazing Romanian conductor in an international video...I'm proud of my country and of the people who made it shine and who introduced Romania to the world.

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.

[@adia5229]

"Music can touch our souls,deeper than the most profound thought" Sergiu Celibidache.

[@georgehennessy1256]

How rarely do we hear absolute perfection this is so emotional . What a magnificent conductor he was The communication with him and the orchestra is the best I have ever seen. Best ever.

[@michaelxo4436]

I absolutely agree.😊👍

[@italiangipsy]

the only one able to conduct with eyebrows and glances...absolutely magnifico, incomparable

[@user-vc8xp3zz5p]

Absolutely ❤😂😂

He is immortal. He shows what music is.

[@cristicristina8974]

Genius at work! Truly magnificent. His joy is contagious. It feels like he’s dancing while conducting the orchestra. A carousel of emotions. Brilliant!

Un dirijor care ne-a adus faimă in lume. Multumim lui Dumnezeu-Tatăl că am a făcut posibilă această minune. Admirație si respect acestei mari personalitati! Aplauzele noastre să-l însoțească până dincolo de moarte! ♥️

Body ,gestures ,hands ,eye ,movement of the body all tell the story of this magic Bolero "by Ravel!Astonishing!Thank you!

[@gail4610]

flawless

[@bottomupengineering]

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!).

[@ElvisTranscriber2]

It's the very first time I've heard of this talented maestro. In my dreams I envisioned the most passionate way to conduct this piece. This man has taught me how to make the dream come TRUE.

[@johnllewlyndavies222]

He objected to conventional recordings as killing the spirit of music.

[@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

[@mikeking2539]

I wonder if the Severn hundred plus people who gave this a thumbs down, are like me irritated by the annoying people who can’t sit quietly for a few minutes of their lives, without having to cough, sneeze, blow their noses, and or pass wind. For flip sake.

[@chrisparker2118]

Me too. I come here often to watch this and it gets me every time. I've found myself looking more into Celibidache and his phenomenology of music which was influenced by Eastern philosophy and the ultimate truth that everything vibrates and that the end is the beginning. It's because of his method, that he did not like his work to be recorded because he felt that every aspect of music/sound waves cannot be recorded and can only be truly experienced in person. He wanted his audience to experience the true freedom that only music can bring.

[@senolagi4426]

No words to describe it, pure magic

[@natalou]

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...

[@dougholliday467]

YOU GOT IT Natasa!!!

[@georger64]

The orchestra probably never suffered like it did when rehearsing this under Celibidache. And probably never played better. Amazing what elemental force they unleashed in the last three minutes.

HOT, HOT, HOT! I wish I had been in the hall for this performance. His philosophy is a mystery to me, but his work on the podium is pure genius.

[@elenaprodan2470]

from wiki: In a 1986 interview, he said, "I was born a Christian Orthodox, and studied philosophy, but I still couldn't find solutions to my problems. It was through Steinke that I found [...] the way of Zen. All I can say is that without Zen I couldn't have known this strange principle that the beginning is the end. Music is nothing but the materialization of this principle."
