About

The conductor Sergiu Celibidache was a legend in his own lifetime, mesmerising orchestras with his intensity and brilliance, both in rehearsals and in performances - which were always conducted from memory. These recordings pair the first of Mozart's last three symphonies, which Misha Donat puts "among musical history’s most miraculous feats of concentrated inspiration" with Schubert's second Symphony, an extraordinary work from a 17-year-old.

The Celibidache Symphonic Series celebrates the historic release on DVD of rare footage of the few performances ever recorded for television.

This release also includes a non-symphonic work by Cherubini as an extra feature, his Overture to Il portatore
d'acqua.

RAI's historic black and white master is faithfully restored for this release, with digitally re-mastered 2-track mono. A 32-page booklet in three languages is included, with a newly-commissioned essay from Misha Donat on the genius of Celibidache together with enlightening notes on the individual works.

1970-71 Turin recording.
