No doubt , the best “Marcia funebre “ I have ever listened . Celibidache is great and understands what sublimity means

This is one of the most impressive performances I have ever listened to.

Wise. Profound. When you listen to this rendition of Eroica, you get close to the real meaning of the word "symphony". Every detail, even the most subordinate or minor one can be heard with such a polyphonic clarity. An interpretation of a true Master!

What a shame that he didn't succeed Furtwängler in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Karajan worshipped the polished sound, whereas Celibidache focused on a sincere rendition of the score, never sentimental or "etherically esthetic. Just great (as was Otto Klemperer !!)

@@rubensiedner4584 I agree. But Celibidache, while brilliant (and in my opinion overall better, more creative, thank Karajan) was a difficult and demanding conductor, even when he was young. And the Berliner Philarmoniker were a bit like Real Madrid, where the players often choose the coach. After working with Celibidache for a few years - while Furchtwengler was being ”cleaned-up”, ”gereinigt”, verputzed, from his connections with the Nazi regime - they probably realised they have to work very hard with a very idiosyncratic conductor, and an extremely hard task master. When Celibidache guest-conducted the London Philharmonic, the players did not fancy the long rehearsal times, and the fact that once, he forced the double-bass to tune their instruments for 20 minutes, as Celibidache was not happy with the sound - they did not gell, to his demanding ear. So... von Karajan might have been the safer alternative - and we will never know, sadly, what BPO might have achieved with Celibidache. We do know that Munchen Symphony, an ordinary orchestra before Celibidache, became, during his time there, world class - along with BPO, Cleveland etc. Interestingly enough, for trivia buffs, von Karajan had an Aromanian ancestor, his great-great-great grandfather Gheorghe Caraiani (grecicised to Georgios Caraiannis), in the village of Cojani (grecicised to Kozani), from the province of Rumelia, now in Greece - which had, in the XIX century a thriving Aromanian community. So... there is a connection, albeit tenuous, between Celibidache (Romanian) and von Karajan, who had some Aromanian blood, as well as the name, through his father.

Actually Leo Borchard had inherited Furtwanglers orchestra, and the orchestra and him were on very good terms, when he was mistakenly shot by an American checkpoint guard over a misunderstanding! He was in his 40s, so if he had lived Karajan and Celibidache would probably have ended up somewhere else! There is one CD of recordings from his short time there.

Sunt perfect de acord cu Dvs!

Un Adagio Assai di rara intensità, un evento unico quasi fosse una "diretta", una "non riproduzione", come sarebbe piaciuto, si fa per dire, al Maestro. L'elemento tragico umano si fonde alla storia, ma come fattore introspettivo. Sono il caos e il destino come evento interiore, mentre con Furtwangler si ascolta l'evento cosmico, la Storia come Fenomeno. Ma la precisione del dettaglio e la sinuosità musicale delle linee sono la firma dal pennello saldissimo di Celibidache, una traduzione indelebile del mondo di Beethoven.

Verry beautifull simphony! Thank's to mr Celibidache! 👏👏👏

This man's music is an absolute delight. Nice photo too. He nearly had a haircut! Can't get better. Thank you.

You can practically feel the anguish and doubt Beethoven pours out, never knowing if lightness will triumph until the very end. A simply amazing performance.

The idiosyncratic slower tempo and ability to parse nuances and tones separates Celibidache's interpretation from those of other Maestros.

In my opinion, so far, the best recorded third.

Sin duda es algo genial... Cuando un musico moderno mira una partitura lo que ve es metrónomo, equilibrios del volúmen, intencidad, fuerza, pero cuando un genio ve una partitura mira emociones, la marcha funebre siempre crei que era una pieza triste y ya... Pero aqui es una oda a la vida, todas las emociones que teanscurren en una vida ... Para el musico moderno dirigir es bajar un archivo midi y equilibrar los timbres y volumenes y mantener el tempo de la orquesta, pero cuando le exiges a Un director de s gunda que interprete, que use a la orquesta como medio de expresión no pueden, no saben...

Amazing performance, but personnaly I have a little preference for Furtwangler in this piece: a bit of further momentum. But the both are very great and a bit close in their view. I think that Celibidache could be a Furtwangler's successor at Berlin in the 50's, but Karajan (more pragmatic) succeeded !

By EMI.

Not Eroica, but Cosmic (especially the 2nd movt. Abysmal.) in Celi's hands with the intensity as if it went under the usual 45 minutes. Celi The Magician that distorts(moulds) time & space, disregarding (or befriending) Einstein here. second-rated conductors worth a penny would definitely not be able to hold water with it over 60 minutes & goes slack. In his top form, actually much better than the one from 1987 on EMI with the brass blunder seconds into the introduction, to begin with. somehow we're lucky he made it on time the year he died, we aren't even hearing 1/10th of what Celi meant there. I wish I had attended the performance. its uniqueness has gone into thin air.

Well, as you point out, the performance Graphenediol has uploaded here on KZread goes over an hour, though I cannot & will not identify this performance as I am not the staunchest enthusiast after Celi. But as for my copy (no CD-R), it is supposedly from January 1996 the year he died(w/my best possible Japanese sources & oh, please don't ask for the verification). At least to my ears, it seems, wonderfully for a bootleg CD, to live up to its claim (DDD) with clarity & less hissing noise through audibly fixed microphones than the 1987 EMI one(& minus the horn tripping into the introduction). I wonder why EMI did not choose this final interpretation. Apart from these bootlegs, Japanese labels, such as Altus, sporadically fill the void with the MPhil emblem recently. Then let’s hope for the further gold mines. Thanks. P.S. I noticed, without the applause, the performance we can hear right here runs just under an hour as my copy does.

18 күн бұрын

Because music must breathe...everything can not be fast and loud. This is very nice tempo for this music

The initial "Allegro con brio" is more of an "Allegro depresso" (Allegro depressed); the " Marcia funebre" (Funeral March) is very funereal, tired; the third movement would be a "SCHERZO" (Scherzo: ALLEGRO VIVACE)"; .... It sounds like a cross between a minuet and an oktoberfest länder and the final "Allegro con molto" is perhaps just "Allegro". In general the whole symphony is heavy as a spoiled cheesecake.... POOR BEETHOVEN!!!...

It is very annoying to see in most comments " The Greatest ' , there is absolutely not the Greatest in anything, it all comes to taste and mood and one's personality. And this Celi Eroica is cumbersome, BUT

Slow and boring. Heavy and pro-Wagner, but anti-Beethoven

First movement is too slow - needs more punch!

Celibidache is great when you want to listen to a 45 minute symphony and you have an hour and half to do it. What a snooze fest this interpretation was.

He should have learned the dynamics first. Totally overrated. Don’t mind the tempi , but really no dynamics.

Cannot understand the cult of Celibidache. This is appalling. Ridiculously slow. Wrenches all of the tension out of the music. Absolute borefest. And don't get me started on his Bruckner 8.
