Bruckner‘s symphonies are the stronghold of my soul
Without Bruckner and his great performers and genius conductors ,
the classical music world would have been very lonely and insipid
Bruckner's masterpieces are an integral part of my life .

Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
One the best symphonies ever written.
I'm not a Celi cultist, but this is simply unsurpassable. His attention to detail, mastery of transitional passages, and refusal to rush pay off here massively. So many treat this work brusquely (especially the scherzo and finale), as a relatively lightweight piece, but here we have a performance that radiates conviction. The best available recording of Bruckner 6
Blomstedt San Francisco is another favorite of mine. I agree that Karajan, for instance, just didn’t get it. This symphony is much more tender and human than his others, to my ears, and needs different treatment from the others.
Celi can be a real trudge but I agree his Bruckner 6 probably the greatest. The strings simply sing with a fervour I've heard nowhere else. There's no way that the 6th is a lightweight piece -- indeed I rate it as among his most sublime with an incredible variety of the most inspired melodies.
Bruckner and Mahler are so often mentioned together, but they couldn't be more different.
I think Bruckner, Wagner, and Mahler are grouped together despite some aesthetic differences because of their more progressive approach to harmony and form. (Their overall approach is in contrast to the more traditional procedures championed by Brahms, Dvorak, et al.)
@@benjamingunsch8286
You are right and sagacious and flawless
@@benjamingunsch8286 , I see Mahler as a kind of deconstruction of Bruckner, corresponding to the anxiety of the 20th century and to Mahler's personal uncertain condition.
"Mahler search for God, Bruckner found him." -G. Wand
Thanks for posting, fantastic sound and video quality! Great concert (I play there the 1st trombone) just amazing moment....Celibidache at his best!
Gratlations! The brass players are very in tune!!!
Definately!
Greetings from Ireland! I hope you are keeping your spirits up despite corona!
Congrats!!
I have listened to this many times, keep getting back to it, but I only just noticed your comment and saw who you were! It sounds really like an eternal moment, something so special and unique! I can't imagine what you all must have felt. Especially the great man looking so grateful to you all, joining his hands like this! My best to you sir!
As a Japanese brucknerian , I think that this overwhelming powerful performance shows a blessing and glory of God .
that's right, agree with you !!!
Nope, it's all people.

Der größte Bruckner-Dirigent des 20. Jahrhunderts! Wer - wie ich - das Glück hatte, Anfang der 1990er Jahre in München diese unerreichbaren Aufführungen (neben vielen anderen von Mozart, Haydn, Strauss, Sibelius usw.) zu erleben, wird sie nie mehr vergessen.
The musical experience Celibidache walks me through in Bruckner symphonies is immense. Existential.
Bruckner and Mahler are my absolutely favorite composers, I love these kind of symphonies! 😃
Qåqq
Me too
Just add Sibelius :))
Same here!
Persone intelligenti ne esistono poche, ma ogni tanto se ne trova una. Aggiungiamo anche Sibelius?
Solange mein Herz schlagen wird, werde ich bei Celibidache (und denen, die mit ihm zusammen haben Musik entstehen lassen) immer wieder empfinden: DAS IST DIE WAHRHEIT.
Nachdem man ihn gehört hat fällt es schwer auch nur daran zu denken eine andere Aufführung eines anderen Dirigenten anzuhören
@@pistol625 Ja: ob es Schumanns "Rheinische" ist oder Dvoracs "Aus der neuen Welt" -
Ich empfinde das, was die allermeisten Dirigenten daraus machen, als geradezu unerträglich.
Sie haben nach meiner Wahrnehmung die Musik überhaupt nicht verstanden.
@@Hecht103 das von dvorak ist nicht mehr in Worte zu fassen vorallem der zweite und letzte Satz
Great composer, Great conductor and Great orchestra!
1:09 - Maestoso
18:27 - Adagio
41:20 - Scherzo
49:59 - Finale
Celi was the greatest ever. A real genius of Bruckner and everything he conducted.
How can this masterpiece be so neglected? So colorful, such emotional contrasts. The adagio is such an eloquent expression of tenderness, loss, and grief -- it kills me every time!
+bumble bee Moving comment, Bumble B., and right to the point.
+bumble bee Oh but it's really not neglected. I heard it last year live at the NY Philharmonic!!
It is still more or less neglected in the concerthalls worldwide if we compare no. 6 with the numbers 4 and 7 -9. While it might be Bruckners most accessible symphony, conataining the most beautiful music of them all.
+Nanno Jonkers Thank you for your comments. It seems that there are not as many recordings of the 6th as well. I have heard it referred to as an"ugly duckling." Go figure. For me part of it's appeal is, along with the plaintive adagio, the sense of raucous "fun" in the opening and the especially the finale. It's as though Bruckner was expressing a return to the joy of living after a period of unrequited longing or a
devastating loss.
BB, you are right. There are more renditions however than you think. My advice. Go to facebook and search for the group Anton Bruckner. I recommend apart from Celi: Klemperer and Sawaliisch, quite different from each other, both here in youtube. Von Karajan (DGG): as always special and radiant. Bernstein's Br. VI is not that good. Alternatives from real Bruckner conductors: Jochum and Wand (I have those on CD).
All in all: Klemperer is unsurpassed. Yet for some ears too severe and objective.
Questa orchestra plasmata da Celi è senza dubbio alcuno superiore a quella dei Berliner. Per bellezza di suono,per omogeneità, per trasparenza delle sezioni,per la grande cura nella dinamica,per
gli attacchi senza sbavature,infine per la musicalità derivante dall ascolto reciproco
durante l esecuzione.
ORCHESTRA UNICA!!!
Magnificent. I'm now finally coming to appreciate Bruckner's great Oeuvre. Thanks.
The adagio is one of the most heartfelt and evocative themes ever - Bravo Bruckner!
1:09 - Maestoso
18:27 - Adagio
41:20 - Scherzo
49:59 - Finale
Thanks :)
Greatly appreciate your posting of the timings for each movement .
Thank you!
Being a nonmusician and fascinated by Bruckner no. 9 from adolecence Icouldnt believe how should I hear no 6 so late in my life now!
There is such a natural inevitability in the melody lines of Bruckner's music that I consider it more discovered than composed; in the same manner that Michelangelo discovered David in a piece of rock.
Indeed his symphonies are musical cathedrals, and that would mean Celibidache had the blueprints and the keys.
This performance of the 6th is magical. Tempi unbelievably slow but never losing tension.
In 25 years I am still not bored by it and still hear something new every time.
A fantastic piece of music and an outstanding performance. Thank you!!!!
What a great Bruckner Director Celebidache was...
Fascinating to see a german orchestra trumpet section performing on piston trpts. they sound glorious and possess the drive and power that is so appropriate for the many grand moments in this greatest of Bruckner's works.
Listened to many versions of Bruckner's 6th, none is comparable to this one. The pace is slow, steady, and irresistible
The most beautiful chorale coda in the whole symphonic repertory at the end of the first movement. I counted thirty modulations and gave up. This music is so original and for me the inspiration and foundation of so many blockbuster film scores.
+iduefoscari Lawrence of Arabia for starters!!
can you link me to a specific part of that soundtrack that sounds inspired by Bruckner 6? i have been trying to find one
I agree and I think the similarities stem from the rhythm - the use of the triplets as in Jarre’s L of A Main Theme. Go to 17:30.
Actually, a little Born Free by John Barry also.
Bruckner's codas are some of the most powerful and inspiring pieces of art in the history of our planet!
The Music of God conducted by God's conductor! Celibedache has a perfect understanding of Bruchner!
The music of God and of Godfather (54:33)
No other conductor brings Bruckner so deep
@@yarondavid9315 yes
This symphony was composed by Anton Bruckner, and he was a mortal human being as I know.
Который раз слушаю, и нравится и всё больше нравится.
👍👍👍👍👍
Heavenly expression of Bruckner's music. Check out the sublime harmonic transition at 24:30 and the look on Celidibache's face. Absolutely chilling.
I have to say, except for the "New World Symphony" I hardly am phased by classical music (not that I dislike it, just unable to appreciate it fully), but I have to say that no words can describe the awesomeness and magic of Sergiu Celibidache and that's why I decided to check this piece.
Check also Bruckner 4th with Celibidache. The awesomeness and magic is there too.
You mean "fazed" - totally different from "phase".

Certifiably intergalactic. I listen to all 11 of Bruckner symphonies all the time in repeat mode. They make my day, every day.
djseo1 I'd like to believe that.
BesACB But I do....as I am doing right now :-).
+djseo1 At the same time too?
You just said what I wanted to say. This is so good.
Intergalactic pretty much says it! It's similar to what drew me to 2001: A Space Odyssey. An overwhelming awe and oneness with the universe.
This is a fantastic rendition, in all respects, of my most beloved Bruckner symphony.
You sense: Celi knows exactly and in depth what this masterpiece, 'a Fiesta of Beauty', is about.
Music to feed the heart
I love Bruckner's sound eruption!!! Right there in the First mov... How great!
Celibidache rendition of Bruckner sixth symphony is heavenly.
참으로 소중한 영상 감사합니다~!!
The Best performance!!!!!!!! Bravo!!!!
Celibiache tugs at the strings of my heart. What a wonderful conductor, and the orchestra is doing everything he wants. I had never heard this symphony in its entirety before, and Bruckner is one of my favourites. I have just sent away for a CD of this work conducted by Sergiu. It must be wonderful to listen to a large orchestra such as this live.
Farbenprächtige Aufführung dieses großartigen Meisterwerks mit brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser, milden Töne aller Holzbläser und, vor allem, seidigen Töne aller Streicher. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im majestätischen Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!
2:08 I love this exuberant theme: it sounds stately and menacing but at the same the the lively rithm and the triplets make it waves almost like a dance! (I can think of no other music alike.)
yes, its one of the most magical moments in the whole history of music. Its something superhumanly wonderful
15:35 From here it seems to hear and feel the heaven. A theme of great nobility to the rhythm of timpanies, trumpets and brass to a glorious victory (17:35) Made by "Celi".
I love those parts too, and I even trascribed them from the score to study them better.
37:12 I always find the endings of his Adagios so sweet.
As someone once put it, Bruckner was God's thank-you note to humanity. Indeed.
Dear Mr. 1Furtwangler, all your videos are a treasure for the world! Please make them public again. Thank you!
This is indeed one of the best performances I have heard recently. What a beautifully shaped second movement. It still holds you even at this tempo. Recommend to anyone who loves this symphony to also check out the Joseph Keilberth/Berlin Phil performance from 1963 (audio only of course but was issued on CD).
+digitalmaestrorich Thx for your tip. I 'll have to detect Keilberth somewhere. I 've got some fine Beethoven by him on CD.
Bruckner's symphonies invigorate the human spirit ,
This performance with splendid skill and specutacular technique is beyond description , immeasurable , specutacular and inspirational , and full of admiration and deep emotion , and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Bruckner é o compositor mais heavy metal da symphonic music ! Extraordinary....
Diese Einheit aus den Münchner Philharmonikern und Sergiu Celibidache, sein Wille und sein Verständnis und deren Umsetzungsfähigkeit - das ist mir eines der großen Geschenke meines Lebens und ist mir Maß aller Aufführung und Wiedergabe geworden.
Dahinter kann ich nicht zurück.
Eckehard Lüdke
Hecht103 Sergiu Celibidache ist der grösste Bruckner "Erleber". Er interpretiert ihn nicht. Er lebt ihn.
I always feel that Bruckner symphonies are a Cathedrals with a mysterious entrances.
Gothic Cathedral.
Baroque, too.
Absolutely - Bruckner's symphonies have an architectural sense of grandeur and awe, and create cathedrals of sound.
I feel he and his music is at the main entrance of Heaven...
Yes, indeed, Fawzi. This is the image that came to me many years ago, and others have said the same thing.
A cosmic Cathedral, embracing forests, oceans, galaxies.
Lindíssima !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRAVO!!!
31:20 - 31:25 The chords achieved here are just amazing. It feels as if Bruckner set up the melodies ahead of time, so that in time, following their natural course, they'd intertwine, and spontaneously produce something more beautiful together than separately. It reminds me of petri-dish art. Or the divine act of creation recorded in Genesis 1:1.
+Jonathan Conway I do wonder about how Bruckner's themes came to him, they are often harmonically ambiguous, and I do wonder if they were devised specifically so he could write symphonies for them.
All of Bruckner's music feels "oversized" to me. Which is a supreme virtue in my books! It's almost the opposite of Ravel. Funnily enough, I love both equally.
Interesting, so do I. You don't very often get a Bruckner + Ravel programme though.
And at 31 Bruckner lets God come out, like those ictures in children's books.
Het mooiste adagio van Bruckner !!!
I heard Celibidache live with Munich in Madrid doing a fantastic reading of the 3rd symphony. This reading of the 6th is right up there with Karajan's and Haitink's. Impeccable control of the structure, balance, and power of the orchestra. Thank you for posting.
Awesome (Says The Death/ Black Metal fan) I love this especially the 2nd movement, it makes me wanna cry of joy . Idk but I'm obsessed with this symphony
Haha me too, i love Cryptopsy , Gorguts, Arkaik etc
celi ist und bleibt der grösste.
Every dedicate Brucknerian thinks that this symphony is Bruckner's special message to him only 😎
I, as many millions of Muzik lovers are appreciators. Our platform is thus on parity with the Muzik and the players thereof. WE COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER ! Ah, let it flow ever & ever !
Il n'y a pas de musique plus puissante que celle de Bruckner au niveau sonore mais aussi au niveau émotionnel... Et quelles richesses harmoniques étonnantes et pleines de contrastes !!!
Pretoria Symphony Orchestra, South Africa is performing this Bruckner Symphony no 6, on the 12th June in Pretoria. Visit our Facebook page for information (Pretoria Symphony Orchestra)
The end of the second movement has caught my attention. Thank you for sharing this video. All best!
Magnificent work by conductor sublimely attuned to composer. I want to hear all Celibidache's recordings of Bruckner. How come he is not better known
So far, nobody has understood God better than Bruckner, and nobody has understood Bruckner better than Celi.
Fully agree !!!!
Colossal richness and flourishing profundity !
Splendid🎼💫🎼💫🎼💫🎼💫🎼💫💫💫
Ljiljana Stanić who are you
What a versatile composer Bruckner was ❗
This is Celi at his most magical. Once there is nothing controversial with the exception of a very slow second movement. The burnished brass yet the control over the tempo even when slowest, and keeping the immense power under tight control, yet everything sounds joyous.
An die Tempo-Nörgler: Solti und Wand haben das gleiche Brucknertempo. Ich denke, diese Nörgler haben einfach nicht die innere Gelassenheit, etwas an sich ruhig vorbeifließen zu lassen. Einfach so. Das paßt gut in die Zeit der "durchorganisierten" Leute, die sich von Apps ihre "Freizeit" verplanen und vorschreiben lassen.
Ich bin Gott sei Dank in der Lage, FAST ALLEN Interpretaionsansätzen etwas abzugewinnen, seien es die mit den "korrekten" oder den "falschen" Tempi. Zumindest versuche ich, den Intentionen der Interpreten folgen zu können und ihre Ideen zu verstehen. Ich denke, dass es das Problem der Nörgler ist, sich nicht in einen anderen Standpunkt hineinversetzen zu können. Ich persönlich liebe die Bruckner-Interpretationen von Celibidache, aber gleichzeitig bin ich auch ein Fan von Klemperer, Bernstein, Solti und natürlich Wand oder Giulini, selbst von Harnoncourt! Auch den neueren Sternen am Dirigentenhimmel Dudamel oder Jäärvi zolle ich größten Respekt. Eine wirklich schlechte Einspielung der Bruckner-Symphonien habe ich noch nie gehört. Aber das ist halt eine Ansichtssache. Man darf einfach nichts schlecht reden, was nicht dem eigenen Geschmack entspricht!
Bruckner found God...Mahler still looking for Him...
EXACTLY!!!!
But God found Mahler.
Celi answered to the question why he didn't like Mahler : "He is a good starter [in his compositions], but doesn't know when to stop."
@@maumusa123
This kind of answer says all about the arrogance and the complete stupidity of this elephant.
Μahler only wrote 2 good symphonies, 1st and 5th. The rest is a pain, cannot be compared to Bruckner's
31:30 Strikes me as wondrous and awe-inspiring. God only know what Bruckner was feeling when he wrote this.
+Jonathan Conway We will never know, because Bruckner was a peculiar personality. At any rate, composers almost never write "what they are feeling" when they're writing. The mood of a piece is usually independent of the composer's personal mood, and very often even directly contradicts it. Some of the world's most happy pieces were written during periods of great distress, and some of the most tragic pieces were written by thoroughly happy and content composers. There are many reasons for this. Some are practical, others are psychological.
Timrath, you speak wisdom, wisdom which bears elucidation. I suspect that you are an artist, as I am a songwriter. I often have found myself with a germ of an idea which takes its own path despite my insistence that I am in control. Thus, music criticism which insists on a concrete intentionality and a "correct" interpretation is bound to fail. For Celi, a great deal of rehearsal time was spent persuading the players to "get" the underlying and purely musical detail "right", knowing full well that the only proper approach to doing so is metaphorical and relative. It is blatantly contradictory. Thus is Art.
Let me add that there's music in the silences between the notes - Celi understood this as well.
Bruckner felt what we feel.
The listener becomes the Composer, at one with the music.
@@Timrathwell written; couldn’t agree more.
Ich habe viele Interpretem gehört, die vielleicht nicht einmal alle kennen: Antal Dorati, Moshe Atzmon, Günter Wand, Eugen Jochum, Eliahu Inbal (sind denn H. von Karajan und Leonard Bernstein - sorry - öberhaupt massstäbe?) niemand hat es so treffend, so gelebt wie Sergiu Celibidache.
Bernstein ist bei Bruckner ganz sicher kein Maßstab. Er mochte Bruckner's Musik nicht und nur die 9. fand vor seinen Augen Gnade. Alle anderen hat er gar nicht dirigiert.
Karajan ist ganz sicher einer der besten Brucknerdirigenten von denen, die die Musik nicht in Weihwasser ertränken. Bei den frühen Brucknersinfonien (1-3) finde ich persönlich Solti noch besser.
@@Quotenwagnerianer
Arme Deutsche von heute ..... Solti und Karajan als Bruckner-Dirigenten .... was für ein Witz .....
Favoloso Cubidache. Un vero maestro.
目の奥の方にある脳みそがジワ〜っと痺れるような他に類を見ない名演奏。生で聴いたら失神しそう。
Mahler said Bruckner was "half simpleton, half god"....the god part comes from his symphonies
Saints often do hide behide simple behaviors, Mahler has much to lear still!
19:12-19:25 in the violins is the opening melodic fragment to Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere" from West Side Story to which Lenny added the lyrics, "There's A Place For Us..."
Maybe, but the beginning of Adagio un poco mosso from LvB 5. piano concerto can also inspired Lenny.
Selfmade Eule And Lenny stole and slowed down the finale of B. Op. 127 String Qt. for one of his songs, can't remember whether it's in that Arias and Barcerolles set or "In a Quiet Place". As his great contemporary, Harold Sharpero, once said, "Lenny knew a good tune when he heard it."
MrKlemps Some of his Mahler interpretation is atrocious. Many composers borrow; Lloyd-Webber takes borrowing to a new dimension, however. That's fine, as long as these people would acknowledge their debt. Jazz is based on borrowing a well known tune and jazzing it up. Andrew doesn't bother jazzing it up!
24:16 Mind blowing harmony from Bruckner.
Old Bruckner joke:
After a concert
" did your husband enjoy the Bruckner".
"I think so. He applauded 7 times"
I didn't get it
the sixth is the sauciest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no words for this ...
Credo che Celibidache sia stato tra massimi interpreti di Bruckner. Questa esecuzione è meravigliosa . Grazie per avercela donata.
The last minute is my favorite symphonic ending.
( Maestoso 1:15) (Adagio 18:53) (Scherzo 40:50) (Finale 50:21)
Triple AAA presentation by Celi
This Sixth symphony of Brucker is less known than the others. It is a pity. It is of a reasonable dimension, and its themes and developments are completely in the Brucknrain mode - sometimes more changing than usual. Chelibidache loves obiously these Brucknerian contrasts, his work is very detailed, each detail each variation of tune and intensity is brought at its maximum of rendrering.
James Bond theme on the lower strings at 39:35
Merci beaucoup
The Adagio breaks our hearts. Celibidache really conducted Bruckner with all his Heart. What is this amazing sound from 00:22:00? It's heavenly! This is why Celi said that he spent his life being "brucknerED".
amazing
I love the Scherzo too really happy
Bravii !!!
7:47schön
Wer weiß denn wie es Anton dachte? Paar Moleküle im Tempo anders? Er hinterließ uns jedenfalls echt schöne Momente des geistigen Innern. Bilder Tränen Sehnsüchte Eva Was bewegte mich bei 45.03?
Ich liebe alle hier, es war so unbedeutend zu sterben, noch zu sein ist auch .....schöner ist!
The sonorous theme in the first movement of this symphony should be brought
out like a pearl. Why does everyone try to sink it?
GREAT!
A little on the slow side for some tastes perhaps but Maestro Celibidache's tempi allow this glorious music to breathe.
This Symphony is Celis alone. Maybe Want a close second.
Blomstedt too (in San Francisco), but yes, this is divine.
Υπεροχος....
1:05:57 White sweater man remains unimpressed and doesn't care who knows it.
Not sure there is a greater symphonic adagio in the entire literature than this one.
Saw Celibadache once, with his Munich orchestra on tour in Chicago. Ticket sales were slow, WFMT was giving them away. I would have expected a sold out house. I guess in the late 80s he wasn't yet a cult figure? It was quite an event, and he achieved an unusual sound. Very loud strings, compared to the norm.
