The Incomparable Celibidache Boxset

These recordings pair the first of Mozart`s last three symphonies, described as "among musical history`s most miraculous feats of concentrated inspiration", with Schubert’s Second Symphony.

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique H.48
Celibadache in this recording takes on Berlioz`s passionate autobiographical monument to obsessive and unrequited love.

Bruckner: Symphony No.9 In D
Celibidache`s own connection with Bruckner’s last great symphony is powerfully evident in this performance.

Prokofiev: Symphony No.5 In B Flat Op.100 / Strauss: Death and Transfiguration
Prokofiev`s most important wartime composition, conceived as a symphony of the grandeur of the human spirit, is paired with Strauss`s poetic depiction of death and transfiguration.
