Perhaps it was because Celibidache started out in pure math... but I have read that Celi was unattracted to most of Mahler's large works because he found them lacking in comprehensible form.

The only work that AFAIK Celi performed was Kindertotenlieder. Which, btw, was the occasion of the worst Valentine's-Day date of my young life.

(Memo to self: Research the orchestral program first. AND WHO WAS THE EINSTEIN WHO PROGRAMMED KTNLD FOR FEB. 14 ?????)

I link below to a wonderful audio-only YT--doesn't Fassbaender at least a little call to mind Kathleen Ferrier?

atb,
