THE YELLOW TIE
by
Serge Ioan Celebidachi
and
James Olivier
The extraordinary life of Sergiu Celibidache, one of the most celebrated but arguably the most controversial music conductor of the twentieth century. A unique artist, revered and misunderstood in equal measure.
From his childhood in Romania under the draconian authority of a disciplinarian father, to his painful flight from home to pursue his dream of a career in music, his struggle for survival in wartime Germany and his rise, fall and rise again, in a truly unimaginable career and life path spanning seven decades and all four corners of the globe.
This is the true tale of a singular individual with a remarkable but tortuous destiny. An artist’s battle against prejudice, compromise, convention and commercialism. A man’s inspirational lifelong quest to follow his dream and win the elusive acceptance of those closest to his heart.
