La gazette 16. April 1966
Jacob Siskind, Kritiker der Montreal Gazette, der eine Woche lang sämtlichen
Proben beiwohnte schrieb in der Gazette: "What was the most exciting to
hear was the transparency of the sound. Even in the softest passages every
note was clear. And some of the passages were so quiet that I could not
believe my ears. I did not know that orchestras other than the Boston
and the Philadelphia were capable of producing such breathtaking sounds
... Amazingly, by Monday morning the orchestra had been transformed ...
Never had I heard these pieces played in this way, never had they been
interpreted with such utter conviction. Never. ... As I watched Celibidache
drink in the applause for a few seconds at the end of the symphony [Schumann],
I knew that something had happened to him during the performance. The
feeling that something great had been accomplished pervaded the hall.
... Something had happened to musical life in Quebec City."

followed quite so closely. ...The choir responded admirably. ... This
was great conducting, and an unforgettable experience for both the audience
and those who took part in the performance."

Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, 17. Oktober 1966
The great Celibidache has left his mark on Quebec. There is no doubt of this maestro's talent after the magnificant concert last night at the Capitol Theatre. The Quebec Symphony Orchestra has never been better....a concert which will certainly prove to be one of the most memorable musical evenings Quebec has ever enjoyed.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation hat am 12. Februar 1967 eine Fernsehaufnahme von Sergiu Celibidache und dem Quebec Symphony Orchestra mit Prokofjeffs Romeo und Julia gesendet.
