What beautiful music !, June 7, 2002
This review is from: CELIBIDACHE / Münchner Philharmoniker - Bruckner: Symphony No. 3 (Audio CD)
Right, so Celibidache takes his music at a more spacious and broader tempo than most, but I think it works very well. The music has never sounded so serious and all the while concious of
that intangible quality Celibidache always spoke about and bashed to death in the CD booklets. I also have the Jochum Dresde Staatskapelle which is also recommended just to use as counterpoint against Celibidache's Munich performances. The Munich Orchestra has this great sound Celibidache draws upon, its almost indescribable. There is something so wonderful about the foundational bass sound that is so dark and dense- yet its never sludge!... I heard this symphony live with Yoav Talmi conducting the MontrealSymphonyOrchestra, and I was not convinced at all. But listening to Celibidache changed my mind about this piece.
