Le jardin de Celibidache

Dec 3 1997 N/A 2h 27m
Documentary, Music

Roumanian born conductor, Sergiu Celibidache (1912-1996) refused to record any of his performances. This documentary tries to provide some insight into the character of this man, allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusion about whether the man was a megalomanic or guru. Music includes: Mozart quartet in D minor (K, 421); symphony in C major, 'Jupiter' (K, 551); requiem in D minor (K, 626). Also, Haydn symphony no. 92 in G major 'Oxford', Beethoven quartet in D major, op. 18, no. 3; Schubert symphony #5 in B flat major, Bruckner symphony #9 in D minor and, finally, Bartok concerto for orchestra.

Plot

With the music of Mozart (Requiem), Bruckner (symphonies), Bartok and other, you experience Celibidache conducting, teaching and meditating. If you like Celi's Bruckner you'll enjoy this film as I did.
