Great Conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini

Carlo Maria Giulini - the enigmatic Italian conductor who found success in both the opera house and the concert hall. Modest, reserved and unruled by ambition, Giulini's interpretations are refined and precise, marked by rich string textures and a lyrical warmth. Documented by many audio recordings, Giulini’s outstanding talent turns his performances into milestones of interpretation, as one critic has astutely observed. In this program, we witness the creation of one of these milestones as we observe Giulini rehearsing Anton Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra.
