Maestro Celibidache, Sergiu (1912–1996) was one of the most uncompromising figures in the music world,demanding three times as much rehearsal time as other conductors and with an ardent dislike of makingrecordings because he feared they misrepresented his musical intentions.He agreed to set aside his long-held antipathy to recordings of his work to enable the cameras to capture this concert from the Philharmonie in Munich, in which he conducts the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
