In summary: "With deep regret, the maestro's son announces that due to the neglect of the Romanian political class and its government (you know, what a surprise), the festival and competition dedicated to the great maestro will no longer be held due to lack of support. We never deserved a genius like Celibidache. We are a people of goats and ignoramuses."

We can console ourselves

I am certain that without that festival the level of music in the world will decrease drastically, we might even find ourselves in a new ice age, who knows ...

Thallo, just off the top of my head, this doesn't seem like an objective post to me, or at least it is subtly ironic. I wouldn't want him to be conditioned by judgments toward his students. Celibidache is a great interpreter, recognized regardless of what we might say ...

... if everyone hoped that those who love music and aesthetics different from ours had no stomach for it, there would be only one kind of music.

From my point of view, when interests (of various natures) hinder art, I am always disappointed; in 'various natures' I include everything, and not just economic and political ones

Ok, but a post with a link in ROMANIAN that talks about a festival we know nothing about, and which as far as I'm concerned could be organized by anyone anywhere, doesn't become a sensible post just because the festival is called Celibidache... My irony was essentially directed at the thread. As much as I have always had doubts about the figure of Celibidache...

Ah, I see. I thought you were referring to the figure of Celibidache... besides, I don't understand any Romanian and I relied only on the proposed translation ....
