It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say he makes it sound like religion

I have and love Celibidache's recording too - I even had it on the "Exclusive" label well before it was finally issued by EMI. Among Celibidache's soloists, I think Barbara Bonney is close to her absolute best on record, but they're all excellent, regardless of how well known each of them was.

I also think that, conceptually, Celibidache's recording is close to Giulini's great Sony recording with the Bavarian Radio Symphony and Chorus. (I haven't heard his much earlier BBC recording.)

HIP recordings will never, ever achieve the level of profundity that Celibidache and Giulini do in this work. (Yeah, yeah - IMHO!)
