From the first peremptory drum roll of Rossini's La Gazza Ladra overture, it is clear that the brilliance of Celibidache (cheh-lee-bee-JaA-keh) is no myth.

Without restraints, television cameras moved alongside troops in the jungle, bringing home nightly in everyone's living room theater the dangers, the deaths, the injuries, the inevitable cruelties of battle.
