WILHELM FURTWÄNGLER THE MOLDAU (Smetana)

[xialishanqing]

I like this much better than Karajan's

amazing.

Thank you for posting. I found today after you posted one year ago. Still I am very happy to listen this wonderfull recording and I agree with all comments posted. This is really Furtwanler's world and this Moldau seems to be new music coming out and Semetana must be happy. This slow temp introduction and ending for expressing river flow looks like his RhineGold beging.

Furtwängler é insuperável (is unsurpassed)

[fortepianoize]

listen in the slow part how it fits in the overall tempo just perfectly and so worked out every sound and phrasing, wonderful ! He does not seperate the music into pieces, he conducts it as a whole ! thank you Furtwängler and too bad that you are dead otherwise you could explain all those so called conductors what is music about besides conducting and giving A tempo !

@fortepianoize

Wonderful comment.

[FredricEric]

@fortepianoize Yes, you articulate what I feel about this interpretation. Especially the wedding use to be too divided from the other parts.

[Vylight27]

other then that, AWESOME!!!!! best recording I've ever heard...

[Vylight27]

or at least at the opening.. hahahaha it is a river!!

[Vylight27]

only suggestion!! could be 2 notches faster overall.  :)

[saporman98]

@Vylight27 really? seriously ? well if that makes you feel better I guess you can say that. It's his interpretation just enjoy a piece of music played as you will never hear it because of the amount of clowns on podiums nowadays... this is a slice of real music that we can unfortunately only hear in recording like these... 2 notches faster .... is like an ant telling an elephant he took too long to move that log...

@saporman98

Very good point! I graciously bow down... lol

Totally a matter of my own personal opinion. I performed this for the first time and it was a pretty rockin performance if I do say so myself!

peace!

@saporman98

as a professional and trained  violinist, it's been ingrained in me to critique everything I hear.

It is probably one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard/performed in a long time.

[Laistry]

My words can't express what I feel- listening to this beautiful music! Thank you so much for posting!

[winwithme]

Man.

I heard that performance right now and it left me shivering.

Thank you for such an unforgettable recording.

This is just incredible.

Thank you, Addi, for posting my beloved conductor! Everything one hears conducted by him sounds like an entirely new piece, like you never heard it before! He makes a symphony out of everything. His own symphony, so personal and it penetrates my soul so deeply and out-worldly!

I didn't know this recording.
