The Garden of Celibidache (1997)
Roumanian born conductor, Sergiu Celibidache (1912-1996) refused to record any of his performances. This documentary tries to provide some insight into the character of this man, allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusion about whether the man was a megalomanic or guru. Music includes: Mozart quartet in D minor (K, 421); symphony in C major, 'Jupiter' (K, 551); requiem in D minor (K, 626). Also, Haydn symphony no. 92 in G major 'Oxford', Beethoven quartet in D major, op. 18, no. 3; Schubert symphony #5 in B flat major, Bruckner symphony #9 in D minor and, finally, Bartok concerto for orchestra.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Absolutely Fantastic
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
