Celibidache, Sergiu. (1912-1996). Signed Photograph.
Celibidache refused to record for most of his career, once comparing making a recording with going to bed with a picture of Brigitte Bardot! Luckily, recordings of many live broadcasts do in fact remain.
An original 1948 program page with halftone photograph, signed by the great Romanian conductor, composer, and teacher, then the conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. Celibidache was apparently appearing as a guest conductor with a British orchestra, with pianist Cor de Groot (pictured on the verso of the page) as soloist. He has signed at the upper left; another hand has dated April 8, 1948. Left edge rough; some slight creases; overall in fine condition. 5.75 x 8.75 inches (14.3 x 22.1 cm).
