Amazon.com Sergiu Celibidache's penchant for meticulous orchestral balances and spacious tempi threatens to embalm Iberia's swaggering rhythms. On the other hand, the late conductor's patient, sumptuous detailing makes for one of the most riveting (and longest) versions of La Mer on disc. Every Debussy lover should try to hear it. --Jed Distler Similar CDs

CD ReviewsRe-birth of Debussy from a non-impressionist view 03/09/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Sergiu Celibidache has a very unique character and and his approach to music is very different than the other post-modern conductors of our day. He believes that the main dynamics of the piece should be preserved, on the other hand other inner dynamics could be(should be) changed according to the time,the place etc. This is what he understands from interpretation or the freedom of interpretation. And in every field of life he believed that experience is the most important guide to all human beings. When you listen to this CD, you will experience how an impressionist piece has become so clear, vivid and natural from a different point of view. Of course, not distorting the composer's real aims." Beautiful. 05/27/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I can?t think of a more intuitively guided conductor for this music than Celibidache. His graceful effortless style does wonders for this luminous music. An invaluable document." !!! DAVIDNYC1023 | New York, NY | 06/28/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "My favorite recording of this work had for a long time been that of De Sabata. He's just so ferocious and meticulous... but when I got this recording (after having heard again and again--I'm a fanatic--MANY other recordings) i just didn't know what to think. I didn't think Debussy wrote THIS kind of music. It's not just color and quick little turns of phrase, little flashes of brilliance, neat little harmonies, which I'm used to in typical Debussy... THIS is like the voice of nature, it's the majesty of the heavens, it's all the anger and agony of time, It's really hard to explain. This performance (and recording) are just shattering. I listen to it again and again, I can't get over it... You HAVE to get over the "speed" (or "slowness) of the music. Yes the tempi aren't fast. Yes the tempi are slow. SO WHAT. Picasso said something about computers that comes to mind, here: "What good are computers, all they can give you are answers." Oh yeah, the Iberia also is a real knockout."
