From YouTube:
The Berlin Philharmonic performs Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 in E major (WAB 107) under conductor Sergiu Celibidache in the Konzerthaus Berlin, in the spring of 1992: An extraordinary concert with a legendary lineup. Rehearsals for the concert were documented in the film ‘The Triumphant Return’ (dir. Wolfgang Becker, 1992). Following the war, the principle conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic from 1922 to 1945, Wilhelm Furtwängler, was required to submit to the denazification process. The young Sergiu Celibidache thereby became the top orchestra’s interim conductor, from 1945 until 1952. Following that, Furtwängler was once again at the rostrum. In 1954 the philharmonic selected not the predestined Celibidache to be Furtwängler’s official successor – but rather Herbert von Karajan. Sergiu Celibidache was so incensed by his being passed over that he vowed to never again conduct the famous orchestra. It took 38 years before a collaboration could once again take place: The concert of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 happened only at the instigation of the German president at the time, Richard von Weizsäcker. In the intervening years, Celibidache had become an internationally sought-after conductor. Anton Bruckner's seventh symphony premiered in 1884. The second movement is a piece of funereal music that Bruckner composed in 1883 in response to the death of Richard Wagner. In an homage to Wagner, Bruckner utilized the so-called ‘Wagner tuba’ for the first time, which Wagner had created for his own ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen’ cycle. Despite its length and the sprawling development of its thematic arcs, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 remains to this day one of his most regularly performed works, played in concert houses around the globe. 00:20 Allegro moderato 28:09 Adagio 58:48 Scherzo 1:11:15 Finale

Khatia Buniatishvili - Erik Satie: Gymnopédie No.1

"Pura vida" y muchas gratias, I haven't seen that video before.
I must admit being a real fanboy of Khatia Buniatshvili.
I use many of her videos as models of how to play short pieces like the Gymnopédie No 1 and others like her Debussy Clair de Lune and Schubert's Impromptus and her version of his Sonata D960 is the most beautiful I've ever heard.
Still way beyond my capacity but if ever then that's the way I'd like to play it.
I also wish I could find a video of her playing the first movement of the Appassionata.
Or the Pathétique sonata. I'd love to see and hear her play that sonata too.
And one of my absolute favorites among her videos is the video of Pictures at an Exhibition.
Cheers CC

The videos has just been releashed. I’m glad you like it. I played (very badly) guitar and bass many years ago but I do not know how to play the piano. My daughter does. Satie seems deceptively simple, I guess it must be really difficult to play it well. Kathia plays it amazingly well!
