Celibidache was most at home with first-class student orchestras. They were more receptive to his teaching. He wasn't just interested in rehearsing: he wanted above all to teach.

[abelnicolae]

When zweite violins gather around the campfire, they tell horror stories about Celibidache.

[fredchu]

Great zoom at the lady on the Violin II, it completely reflects a section player under such a stress being in the orchestra which pays decently yet not making music for herself. It comes down to total dedication and sacrifice to be in a orchestra.

It looked like that french horn player wanted to jump over to strangle Celibidache and the other players surrounding him were trying calm him down.

[jairochaves]

Great musicians that made part of my musical Life during two years. Honor and Pride. God Bless this orquestra.

[nikesamo]

There is a huge story behind Celi and Berlin caused by Karajan after Furtwängler. And the Berliner are well known till nowadays to be a very challenging orchestra. Excellent but very challenging, driving conductors nuts. This is what you get when you have to many soloists playing in an orchestra.

[fjfjrfjfjr]

Don’t worry. They are able to handle stress. Their audition process is brutal.

[LoreWha]

"Wir sind Philharmonika, wir müssen vibrieren …" ahahah Revenge is a dish best served cold
So many tension and so many angry - bored faces

[tonomora]

La piel se pone de gallina al escuchar a Celibidache dirigir la orquesta.

[stephenjablonsky]

It is not every conductor who gets to yell at the Berlin Phil.

[rominn]

Sigourney Weaver had it with the cello, ghosts in her apartment, and NYC living and duly took up the violin, won the job in Berlin and up and moved to Germany where she just CAN'T with this conductor anymore..

[carlosbashuertas]

A turtle on tempos, a tiger on rehearsals!

[lizziewadsworth]

The female violinist at 2.46 secs looks really impressed.

[stephenestall]

What Celibidache achieved here was quite magical for any lover of Bruckner - whether it's the Berlin Phil or a lesser orchestra

[TheGigiparce]

0:53 to 0:56! Hauptmann’s colleague placing their hand on his shoulder to give him confidence to go for it! In the horn section in our orchestra this is how we are towards each other whenever any of us have something tricky to play, it shows that regardless of the level of the orchestra or how skilled the player is the horn is a tough instrument to deal with hahaha!

[Dimivim]

Rumors say that zweite were sent to their final destiny ☠

[yangluo]

I keep coming back to this video to check my German learning progress. Two months ago I could only understand 10% but now it’s 30%😂

[Mr.Javert]

He is known for making the auditorium hear evrey note.

Because of the rehershals that were so long he was an expensive conductor for the Orchestras.

People say if he would have been an animal, he would have been a turtle!

I really love Celibidache <3

[adelaskari]

the players reaction completely shows why they have chosen "Dear Maestro Claudio Abbado". Abbado loved the philharmonic and players loved him too. and above all i completely missed you dear Claudio..
