切拉毕齐 is the Chinese transliteration of the Romanian surname Celibidache, almost always referring to Sergiu Celibidache (1912–1996) — the conductor famed for slow tempi and a refusal to make studio recordings, leading the Munich Philharmonic from 1979 until his death. The standard Mainland transliteration is 切利比达克 / 切利比达凯; 切拉毕齐 is a variant rendering.
memory
Four syllables stretch the surname: 切 qiē ('Che-') + 拉 lā ('-li-') + 毕 bì ('-bi-') + 齐 qí ('-da-che'). 毕 (bì, finish) is unusual in transliterations — picked here for its 'bi' sound.
