SERGIU CELIBIDACHE

16 minutes of a unique performance, Celibidache getting into a trance, unlike any other conductor. An absolutely stunning performance from the best conductor ever, beautifully filmed and focused on him only. He was the one and only able to play Le Boléro in around 16 minutes. Something Maurice Ravel himself would have loved to accomplish, but never succeeded in.
