 Carlo Maria Guilini's Special Way with Bruckner Review By Max Westler
Giulini would continue to perform and record for more than another decade before he retired; but it became increasingly evident from his work in the studio-now all we had to judge him by--that he was not the same artist he had been before.
Giulini's goal was not to literally or mechanically reproduce the composer's intentions, but to recreate the inner life of the score.
This Bruckner Second was recorded while Giulini was still thinking about becoming music director of the Vienna Symphony (a position he would soon accept and hold for three years), and here the orchestra plays with a fervor and commitment that are clearly intended to influence his decision in their favor.

 EMI Celebrates the Great '70s collaboration of Carlo Maria Giulini and the Chicago Symphony-and at Bargain Price. ...
The instantaneous spiritual rapport Giulini established with the orchestra when he first conducted it in 1955 would deepen and intensify over the next twenty-three years, but he would never serve as its music director, never be more than a welcome guest.
For one thing, Giulini began his career as a violist, and his sound is firmly centered in the warmth and richness of the lower strings.
Given that Giulini's approach is as much of the intellect as it is of the heart, that his instincts are as intensely Classical as they are Romantic, it is difficult if not impossible to discuss his art without resorting to contradictions.

 Guardian Unlimited | Arts news | Carlo Maria Giulini
This is not entirely surprising, for Giulini's musical background was instrumental rather than vocal: born in Barletta, along the Adriatic coast from the southern city of Bari, he was never taken to the opera as a child.
It was at this period that Giulini was first able to work with colleagues who shared his views about the relationship of music and the stage in opera, and the results were spectacular: the Traviata, originally scheduled for four performances in 1955, had to be allotted another 17 in the following season.
In later years, there was always something rather grand about Giulini's appearances on the platform: watching him conduct, it was easy to be carried away by the obvious commitment, the look of intense participation on the patrician features and the fiery restraint of his platform manner.
