Sergiu Celibidache (conductor) / Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Description:

Celibidacke took the podium of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time in 38 years to perform Bruckner's Symphony No. 7, one of his best-known works, and gave a stunning performance. It was an overwhelmingly masterful performance. This historic performance was made possible by the direct order of Weizsaecker, who was President of Germany at the time, and is known as the only video of Celibidacke conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, who rarely made recordings, amid the extraordinary tension in the hall. To commemorate the 125th anniversary of Bruckner's death, Sony Classical is finally releasing this Blu-ray disc in the original 4:3 quality for the first time. (C)RS
