That's the thread where I asked if any of you had questions about Celibidache which I could relay to bassoonist Friedrich Edelmann, with whom I was performing at the time and who had been in the Munich Philharmonic during Celi's entire tenure there. As a matter of fact, Amphissa had some very thoughtful questions which, because of the scheduling and travel involved in the actual concerts, we were unable to discuss at length at the time. (I hope Friedrich will forgive me for saying he "weaseled out" of the discussion in one of my posts in that thread - not really true, just my feeble attempt at a colorful way of describing things!)
Anyway, I guess that Friedrich, who has been back in Germany for awhile now, just recently became aware of our AA discussion, and has graciously replied today with a post that includes some very interesting extended excerpts from his book describing his time in the orchestra with Celibidache. The link is below.
Friedrich - Thank you VERY MUCH!
