The other day I received those from the Deutsche Gramophon from Stuttgart and I have only heard the octave which has a tempo that is quite slower than the usual ones. But something that the great Sergiu did was to thin out the music so that it could be experienced in all its extension, both in the volumes as well as in the emphasis of making one group of instruments shine over another. Enjoy it, my friend. |

I do not particularly feel that Celibidache was a genius but I certainly feel that he was genius in Anton Bruckner. I heard some of his recordings of none Brucner and it was not so special. Some of the things he did with Bruckner are completely transcendent. For instance with all my appreciation of B7 I almost felt that the 3rd movement is so light and so stupidly dancing that it should not be in that symphony. Celibidache in one of his recordings completely reversed my view. He typically plays slow but in that specific performance, it was probably 63367842 times slower than he typically does it. And it was absolutely majestic. That stupid repetitive nature kind of gun because you do not remember what was 10 minutes ago, and that whole moment was like a hole independent symphony is that you wish never stop. I remember when the first time hurt I was mesmerized and I truly feel it was absolutely new world in the Bruckner musicology. But I need to admit, is it I generally have very heavy bias for music play significantly slower then it is. I even have my Denon DJ CD player, that sounds horribly but that allowed to adjust is the speed of the play. Sometimes I'm deeply intentionally play some music mach, mach slower. I even fantasized to have an options to reduce the speed of CD playing resolve to reducing the pitch... |
