The conductor Sergiu Celibidache was a legend in his own lifetime, mesmerizing 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.
