Carlo Maria Giulini - 10 facts about the great conductor
10. Serene authority and selfless devotion
Giulini retired in 1998, and died in Brescia, Italy, aged 91. The New York Times obituary reported that, ‘Far from being an autocratic conductor or a kinetic dynamo of the podium, Mr. Giulini was a probing musician who achieved results by projecting serene authority and providing a model of selfless devotion to the score. His symphonic performances were at once magisterial and urgent, full of surprise yet utterly natural.’
