one of the greatest conductors of all time.. surely the last titan. i believe that with his death the line of philosophical, mystical conductors has ended.

a complete musician! outstanding cleverness! in addition to this, very talented and musical soul... ROMANIA had and will still have great musical values

His renditions of Bruckner last symphonies (7,8,9th) are among the greatest performances, endless in details but with an awesome sense for the whole.

There are surely many of his students around the world but in my knowledge none of them has reached the highest level as performer as the pianist Juan Jose CHUQUISENGO, with amazing recordings by Sony Classical of Ravel, Bach, Schumann, Prokofiev - a young Celibidache on the piano?

@TheSpitzWegerIch fhank you for the information, I was wondering if such great conductor had some 'heirs' - from the musicians you mention I could only find Chuquisengo, who has made recordings with Sony Classical, one of them was selected among the 'best ever'! There are recordings at Youtube, an extraordinary musician!!,he could match the best of best - but I couldn't find any places where he performs (the infos of that agency are quite old) does somedy knows where does he live or perform?

@alexmuresan

like no one else has an interpretation other than celebidache - no, my objection was to celebidache being a jerk, not in his 'fixing' something -

Celibidaches line has not ended. You can find some of his students here:

Genius, talented and funny. Extraoirdinary...!!, such an interesting thing in the part when he mentions the music psychology.

[missanyhooox3]

Haitink is somewhat underrated but his recent recordings of the Beethoven symphonies in London reveal a seasoned and enlightened musical personality.
