Happy birthday Maestro Celibidache!

Hmm. Not at his best.

Scan any documents, convert images into text, PDF files, etc. 👍

Celebrate it very, very, very slowly.

"Music is nothing rational and cannot be explained logically."

i get the feeling the orchestra is too nervous wanting to give the conductor what he wants that they're not giving the music what it wants

Un très grand chef qui a subit le mépris de Karajan. Premier chef de la philarmonie de Berlin après guerre, puis co-titulaire du pupitre avec Fürtwrangler.

A strange conductor, and spearhead of one of the craziest sexist campaigns against one of his players, but in Bruckner he could create something special.

👏👏👏

The living Platonic Form of The Conductor as Madman

Doing his own thang. Pity the composer and his work.

Love the way he conducts!

#Comingsoon...

Listening to Nikolaus Harnoncourt's glorious 1969 recording of Monteverdi's Orfeo in honor of the 100th anniversary of soprano Cathy Berberian's birth. She plays both the Messenger and Speranza.

#NowSpinning Berg’s Lyric Suite, with Karajan in Berlin. He certainly brings beauty to this score, and a sure sense of direction.

95 años del nacimiento del maestro caprichoso, impredecible, pero genial, que fué Carlos Kleiber.
