Synopsis:
During his lifetime, Romanian conductor Sergiu Celibidache (1912-1996) was overshadowed by Herbert von Karajan and Georg Solti, but his posthumous reputation has grown while interest in more famous contemporaries has fallen. Celibidache had a deeper philosophy of life: he thought more about music, was less interested in worldly wealth and placed greater emphasis on sharing his knowledge. Busé’s film probes Celibidache’s background, career and ideas, drawing on documentary evidence as well as interviews with family, students and admirers, including Daniel Barenboim. It is the best attempt yet to explain who this mysterious, uncompromising, guru-like figure was, and why he had such an influence on those with whom he came into contact.
