Sergiu Celibidache

German conductor. Born in Roman, Romania, he studied at the Berlin University of Music and the University of Berlin. In 1945, he successfully conducted the Berlin Philharmonic as a substitute, and served as its chief conductor from 1945 to 1952, working hard to rebuild the orchestra after World War II. However, he left when Karajan was invited to become its permanent conductor, and worked as a guest conductor in Europe and Latin America. From 1963 onwards, he served as chief conductor and music director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, SDR Symphony Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic, and others. In 1977 (Showa 52), he came to Japan for the first time as a guest conductor with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra. He showed a unique talent for making the orchestra sound beautiful and clear, but he was resented for his slow tempo and excessive expression, which made him seem to have an old-fashioned style.

ドイツの指揮者。ルーマニアのロマンに生まれ、ベルリン音楽大学とベルリン大学で学ぶ。1945年に代役としてベルリン・フィルハーモニーを指揮して成功、45～52年その首席指揮者を務め、第二次世界大戦後の楽団立て直しに尽力した。しかしカラヤンが常任指揮者に招かれるとともに去り、客演指揮者としてヨーロッパ、中南米で活動。63年以降はスウェーデン放送交響楽団、フランス国立管弦楽団、南ドイツ放送交響楽団、ミュンヘン・フィルハーモニーなどの首席指揮者や音楽監督を歴任。77年（昭和52）読売日本交響楽団に客演のため初来日。オーケストラを美しく透明に響かせるのに独特の才能を発揮したが、テンポが遅く表情づけが過剰で、スタイルの古さを感じさせるうらみがあった。
