Celibidache Conducts Mozart And Schubert: Symphonies 39 And 2 (UK-import)
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.
