Three years later, Giulini and the Philharmonia made one of the all-time great performances of Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique Symphony." The elegance of the "Valse" is special indeed, and the power of the orchestra encompasses both exhilaration and brutality.
Giulini did conduct in America, and led the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in two weeks of concerts in 1967 and 1969 -- the year in which he became principal guest conductor of the Chicago Symphony.
Giulini and Chicago also recorded for Deutsche Grammophon, many examples of which need to be reissued, as do other albums he made with the Los Angeles Philharmonic when he was music director from 1978 through '84.

 Carlo Maria Giulini | Obituaries | Guardian Unlimited
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.

 Giulini remembered: strong discipline, with flair - The Boston Globe
The great Italian conductor Carlo Maria Giulini, who died on June 14 at the age of 91, was extraordinarily disciplined, but his temperament was also spontaneous and flexible.
Most of Giulini's American activity was centered in Chicago and Los Angeles, but he led concerts in three BSO seasons (1962, 1969, and 1974).
In the early years of his career, which gathered momentum in the 1950s, Giulini was famous for his fire; in later years, he became a more reflective musician, but without ever extinguishing that inner flame; he just kept it contained.

Giulini's agenda is refreshingly different, though no less valid, so there is a place in a very crowded market for it.
In his notes David Gutman draws attention to the fact that a Giulini hallmark is attention to the middle registers of the orchestra, maybe the result of having played the viola himself.
Giulini then makes us very aware of the change from the Landler that is Tempo I to the Waltz that is Tempo II as, more than most, he presents a very heavy-footed waltz indeed.

 Classical Net Review - Mahler/Schubert - Symphony #9 / Symphony #8
Giulini's is a beautiful lyrical view as David Gutman espouses in his booklet notes to the set.
Giulini's view of the Landler is also expansive and unhurried adding an almost noble measure to the proceedings, this is not a grotesque Viennese dance but one that indeed dies with dignity.
In the Andante con moto, Giulini is also very relaxed and calm but at the same time there is a mystical aura to the work that is almost like a Neolithic temple.

Giulini know very well how to conduct Mozart and he makes this recording alive (many have accused Solti's recording for NOT being alive and dramatical).
Giulini's "Figaro" may be a fourth or fifth choice, especially to hear Schwarzkopf, but otherwise I'd go with Boehm's, or perhaps Solti's.
As his many landmark recordings stand proof Giulini is one of those rare conductors that can get in the mind and heart of the composer and express in perfect shapes the thoughts and feelings their music comprise.

 INKPOT -- Brahms Symphony No. 4 - Tragic Overture, Haydn Variations - CSO, Giulini
Along with passion, the greatest quality Giulini and the CSO bring to the Fourth is patience – the willingness to take the time needed to fully express these emotions and to allow the music to breathe and sing to the utmost.
Giulini encourages and gets a continual bel canto from the players, and the music moves with a lyric grace more in line with a cast of singers than a group of instrumentalists.
Woods mentioned that Giulini made up for the lack of tension by nobility of line, and that the slow middle section was especially memorable for this quality.

The Italian maestro Carlo Maria Giulini was born in southern Italy in 1914 and spent his childhood in South Tyrol, where he absorbed the very German culture of his surroundings.
Giulini's repertoire reflected both his Catholicism (sacred works loomed large) and his refined taste in operatic and orchestral music.
Walter Legge first brought Giulini to London (in 1955) to record with the Philharmonia, the orchestra with which Giulini made his London concert debut in 1958 in an all-Brahms programme.

I primarily compared Giulini with another favorite, Jiri Belohlavek and the Czech PO on Chandos 9391 (coupled with the Nocturne for String Orchestra and The Water Goblin).
Giulini's is more Brahmsian (and that is no criticism) and aristocratic (again, not a condemnation).
Again, Giulini is more Brahmsian and there is a soft beauty to his version which is not in Kubelik's.

Giulini excels in repertoire that demands philosophical depth, which perhaps explains why so much of his discography centers on composers’ valedictory symphonies.
The phrasing Giulini manages to elicit from the strings in the second movement is a minor miracle.
Giulini’s finale, for example, is too big-boned to be really exhilarating.
