Synopsis:
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. In this recording, he takes on Berlioz`s passionate autobiographical monument to obsessive and unrequited love. The Celibidache Symphonic Series celebrates the historic release on DVD of rare footage of the few performances ever recorded for television.

Includes 32-page booklet in three languages, with a newly-commissioned essay from Misha Donat on the genius of Celibidache
