this ending is really amazing... But I think fricsay version is better than this one for a lot of aspects.

Raw genius. This is the best four minutes you will ever hear, musically speaking.

Glorious German Orchestral Conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler @ his finest! Gives powerful & beautiful intrinsic meaning to human Genius Ludwig van Beethoven's choral work, transcending human imperfection!

The finale of the finale always gives terrible goosebumps.

I can't agree more. It's amazing! I feel as if I cannot catch my breath. I get the sense that Beethoven was building everything up to the finale of the finale: that the rest of the piece is outstanding, but this part is unimaginable

Furtwangler at his greatest. There is a video on YouTube of this performance of this finale, which adds immeasurably to the enjoyment.

It's impossible to make better of this!! Furtwangler is the better conductor of all time. Thank you Invisus944 for posting this treasure.
