Since he hated recording, Sergiu Celibidache's Bruckner recordings enjoyed a certain limited critical reputation in the later years of the twentieth century because most of his performances were available only as pirated air checks with awful sound and atrocious surfaces. But his death allowed recordings to be released and the birth of compact discs allowed listeners to hear his Bruckner recordings in pristine sound on practically perfect surfaces. Celibidache's performances have been released in as close to ideal circumstances as they are ever likely to get. In this collection of Bruckner's Symphonies Nos. 3-5 and Nos. 7-9, the recordings reveal deeply eccentric performances with the occasional flash of soaring spirituality. Celibidache shifts tempos unmercifully and often incoherently: listen to the opening movement of his Seventh. Celibidache twists structures brutally and sometimes violently: listen to the opening movement of his Third. But there are performances that explain Celibidache's reputation: listen to the force, the strength, the depth, and the heights of his Eighth, surely one of the great recordings of the work. Leading the well-rehearsed but not often powerful enough Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, Celibidache's performances are on the whole no better than Kurt Masur and no worse than Günter Wand. Deutsche Grammophon's live radio sound is clear enough, but a bit rough and raw. © James Leonard, All Music Guide
