thank god for youtube. :-> really . I wouldn't have been able otherwise to listen to so many versions of different pieces of music... I live in wonderful times :D
I don't think I could nit pick about anything in this performance, including tempi. Celibidache's conducting is a totality of intense musical expression. It is as if he has one ear in a formative ideal and the other in the room with the orchestra. Preconceived ideas or intellectualizing get in the way when listening to his performances, it's better to surrender to the experience and see what your biology makes of it. I'd never heard of him until I was looking for Brahms's first piano concerto and found a video of him conducting with Daniel Barenboim playing. I had never heard any conductor achieve quite the nuanced subtlety of phrasing that I heard in the opening of the second movement. Extraordinary.. .Contradictory and quirky as he seems to have been, for me, Sergiu Celibidache stands out on his own as an extraordinary magician, weaving the frequencies of music with an intense, rarefied musicality and a truly rare understanding. Here's to him. Thank you so much for posting it.
Montagne dove ci sono montagne. Valli dove ci sono valli. La differenza tra caos, rumore meccanico e ...Musica. Un genio che non smetterò mai di ringraziare per avermi fatta innamorare e capire la Musica classica. Mulțumesc, Sergiu Celibidache. Alla fine hai fatto tantissimo per la Romania, non avere dubbi... è la Romania che non ha fatto e non fa niente per te! Țara ta adoptiva se faleste cu tine... Insa multi dintre romani nici macar nu te cunosc. Trist, dar adevarat.
It feels like I am listening to Brahms Symphony No 1 for the first time and discovering so many things I never knew existed. Celibidache is simply such a genius who brings out not only everything, but probably much more than Brahms ever intended when he wrote this piece. I am really grateful that we had such "real" musician like Celibidache.
@@AALavdas Celibidache just brings us what many others just hide. He lifts a veil. This statement about bringing more than Brahms intended is a non-sense. You can praise or blame Celibidache but not with such arguments.
I never wrote that he brings more than Brahms intended. I never met Brahms. Celibidache I heard him in concert and I have some records published after his death. I can talk about him not about the Brahms intentions when he composed his music. You cannot criticize Celibidache based on such a absurd argument.
Oh my Celibidache ! He really makes Brahms sing so nobly. I had no affection or even interest for Brahms symphonies before I found this wonderful Maestro. This is so incredible music and performance. Bravo !!!
The First symphony of Brahms as you never heard. All what you considered as complex, too ddense, amde clear all a sudden, thanks to the tempo and the very analytic vision of Chelibidache. This works so well in that complex symphony. I cannot do anything else than listening carefully when I play it.
Juan Fröhlich - Germany, among many conductors, Celibidache has demonstrated in this version his enormous insight to Brahms great First Symphony: Specially in all details and how he works out expressions taking its timing so accurated as possible. This characteristic comes wonderfully in the Horn solo - before the 4th mov. start - (what a sound!) and repetitions, where you´ll notice the - heart - beats of ketteldrums much more intensively as other conductors do . . . Wonderful version, thanks for sharing.
Since leaving a comment the other day, I've found an interview on TH-cam with Celibidache called 'Sergiu Celibidache on his Philosophy of Music' which I highly recommend and I've also listened to more of his performances, including his utterly outstanding 'Bolero'. I think Celibidache was...and is...a giant, an apotheosis and a man of the deepest truth which would inevitably get him into trouble with certain others. Thanks again for posting this. Best wishes to all...Jane
This is, without a doubt and listening to mutiple other interpretations, the best. MAgnificent sound and expression by celibidache !! plain outstanding
To add one final comment: the finale's slow tempo is fully justified because it reaches a greater depth than Furtwangler, something I never consider possible. Very religious.
Célibidache ce chef roumain le plus Germain. Très grand chef feu depuis le 14 août 1996. Rattle le réintégrera, à titre honorifique, pour réparer une injustice, à la philharmonie de Berlin après que von Karajan biffa son nom des chefs officiants dans le célèbre orchestre germanique.
It's very easy for an orchestra to want to play the final movement even slower than this. (And all Brahms, for that matter.) The music is so rich that you want to drown in it. I'm seeing comments all over the Brahms Symphony 1 videos that say "Too slow!" Definitely not. You want to savor it. I love that this is stretched out so far that it's almost obscene.
Amazingly beautiful performance of a conductor I've never even heard of. I still feel a beginner and so happy with youtube that enables us to explore music.
one of the greatest in my opinion, doctor in music,philosophy and mathematics! first conductor after war of berliner philamonic and continuator of great Furtwangler...
An astonishing masterpiece of a performance. One seems to hear Brahm's 1st for the 1st time. One goes to Celibidache, like one does to Michelangeli--(catch their perfect Ravel piano concerto) not to hear. a good or great performance of X or Y masterpiece, but to hear a genius uncover the mysteries of another genius. .
Celibidache ouvre les portes du sens .pour lui la musique entre dans une autre dimension qui allie le souffle la respiration le spirituel à la beauté du son.le tempo juste est celui qui permet d'initié la compréhension globale sans nuire au détail.pas d'effet inutile .pas de "décoratif chez lui.mais la concentration à la fois intellectuelle et la plongée vers l'insondable mystére de l'être.la beauté naît dans cette tension.dans cette quête.
Finally, I can hear this symphony as it deserve to be played without getting aches in my stomach as usually with the other conductors. Thank you so much for posting!!! After a third time hearingg it it seems somehow too chewed, not alive, but it is still for me the most bearable version. The second part is unique!!!
Along with Mendelsohn's 4th, this holds a key memory in my life. Stuck in a car during a furious series of thunderstorms atop the Mogollon Rim in AZ, I found some classical music AM station (early '70s). Brahm's 1 and Felix's 4 got me over the jitters of the lightning bolts exploding in the ponderosas just out of reach of the car windows! The two works have a pronounced anxiolytic effect; try it next time you feel too tense over something, and then you'll dig it.
Graduar las excelencias de las sinfonías del genio hamburgués grabadas por el rumano al frente de orquestas y etapas distintas es empeño dificultoso. ¿Magníficas, sublimes, excelsas…? Sucede lo que a las legadas por Furtwängler, C. Kleibert, C. Abbado …
Critics often believe Celibidache should be the muisc director of the BPO rather than Karajan. Karajan took the seat only because Celibidache was not a German -but a Romanian. I collected some recording of both director and I leaned to agree the statement after comparing the recordings.
@Philip Adams This is factually incorrect. Celibidache was appointed BPO head conductor in 1945 following the death of Leo Borchard who had replaced Furtwaengler during the de-Nazification process.
@Philip Adams after furtwangler denazification, he returned to bpo, when he died karajan was appointed, which infuriated celibidache who had conducted during furtwanglers absence, and also worked very hard for furtwangler to be granted denazification. Celi had a close relationship with furtwangler, not karajan. The bpo chose karajan bc they found celi to tyranical. Celi vowed not to return to bpo. He did 38 years later, if you watch the rehersal you will see he is very critical of them all because of his rejection
2:453:00 makes solos more dramatically exelent view of point. ovbiously brahms studied beethoven, i think celibache makes the star slower to make a feel like in 2nd movement of 5th symphony solos are the main of the movement. it makes the same feel

El sonido de Celibidache siempre me ha gustado, y de alguna manera me identifica a entender que sus versiones marcan cómo debería sonar una obra magistral. Pero entré en una controversia hacia su persona cuando supe de larga batalla legal para despedir a la trombonista principal, Abbie Conant, que duró doce años y que finalizó con el triunfo de Conant. Es el lado negro y de terrible machismo que uno tiende a suponer que este tipo de personas jamás tendría; pero me equivoqué.
@@henrymichael13When a reporter asked Celibidache about Karajan, his answer was "He is elegant but superficial." The reporter protested, "But Karajan is world-famous." Thus Celi replied, "So is Coca Cola."
@@maumusa123 Again with the pseudo intelectual philosophy bullshit. Music is entertainment, musicians play so they can make money. People listen to music because they want entertainment.

Esatta valorizzazione dei tempi, della dinamica e del fraseggio: comprensione assoluta del capolavoro brahmsiano
To me, Celibidache was the best Maestro ever. And without any dought, this recording is the best ever.

merci monsieur Celibidache
Quelle symphonie !! Quel quatrième mouvement !! Quel cor !!!!
this picture is so well chosen to this Brahms 1
The experience of Brahms' symphonies: full-body aural immersion.
Greatest version of this I've ever heard ... all others pale in comparison with the seriousness and solemnity of it.
Have you seen Bernstein's interpretation.
Furtwaengler's, his Master
There is a nice slow and composed pace to the opening movement.
Incandescent performance. I doesn't get better than this.
Also, this is a high quality recording, WOW. Love hearing the basses so clearly.
Best performance and pure sound!
To add one final comment: the finale's slow tempo is fully justified because it reaches a greater depth than Furtwangler, something I never consider possible. Very religious.
It is an intense masterpiece that heals the thirst and lament of the human soul . Standing ovationaly！
Wow! What Music!

Calidad, seriedad. Profundo Celibidache. Gran Brahms. Versión para disfrutar por siempre.
As corny as it may sound, I feel Brahms-the soul of the music, very strongly through the first two movements of this particular recording. :3

冒頭の１分間聴いただけでそのあまりに徹底したポリフォニックな響きに震撼しました。これぞ天才の仕事。
Thank you, Jamil.
這個Celi的布拉姆斯4體現了作曲家心境的複雜，尤其第四樂章時而優嫻時而激昂時而進入深刻的沉思，要表現這個非常困難，歷來指揮家都是甚少理解這個音樂，可是偉大的Celi完全明白作曲家的意圖，其音樂表現出人性光輝靈性的一面，速度相當慢但奇蹟地不覺慢，Celi特別注意音樂的清晰表達，對這個複雜的心境心同感受。
Gracias
