[Maggienette]

My puppet is called Eulenspiegel. Does Eulenspiegel have a long nose? does anyone know?

[LINZROQUE]

perfecto,exelente grabacion del maestro Wilhelm Furtwängler.

[MrAcemasta]

[Playwonder]

Nice it helps me with music....I Must Know all instruments ....

[atozholic]

His r.strauss performance is nice!

pineclassics,com has related albums for Old maestros like Furtwangler, Bruno Walter and so on~

[raticida123456]

the strauss version conducting is better hehehe

[jhb134]

@raticida123456 - The Strauss version (from the composer, himself) is VERY-fine! Other versions are wonderful, also - Reiner, Kempe, Mengelberg, Toscanini and others. Furtwangler and his Orchestra had an excellent WAY, between baton and orchestral players. The composition, itself, of course ... is delightful and piquant; also, it can show a fine Orchestra, at it's best!

1943

Le thème du cor est comme une étude de Barboteu...

[MstislavRousseau]

Furtwangler is amazing! Especially since he never used a score! And this piece is pretty awesome too!

Why don't we all see the wonderful music picture that the genius Strauss is making for us in this tone poem about a very clever but foolish young man. The music is extraordinary. Loosen up and listen, and you'll hear it in every note..

[footballlineman1]

Clear Lake High School,s wind ensemble is playing this...a very beatiful piece of music

[FrenchRome]

There's a bit missing between the 2 halves.

[IhaveaCstring]

Isn't there????? I was so lost trying to follow the sheet music when I went to the second video....!!!!!

[gkb8282]

There are over 100 measures missing; almost 8 pages of the score

[MartinoBiondi]

including the best solo of the 1st and 2nd clarinet, actually :)

[petrof4056]

Who is the first violin? Spivakovsky?

[ipmoic]

What lack of clarity? Look at him--you can feel every beat-his body language is extraordinary. This business about his unclear beat is a myth and this video proves it.

[shophar]

You said the correct thing when you said that you could feel every beat not see it. It was not spooned to the musicians like most conductors try to do. Furtwangler allowed the musicians to play. Color and shape where more important than anything else to him. Carlos Klieber was very clear. But once again you see every beat every transition. You played his way because he made you play like it was the first time you had ever played music. Furwangler would have loved Klieber.

[shophar]

conducting students need to pay attention to his lack of clarity. What a gift he was

[bradhorn14]

but everyone could follow him...what a genius

[cantanteporsiempre]

the musicians from Berlin philarmonic at that time, said that Furtwangler was their truly conductor, despite Karajan, they said, he was more german, and organized, the indications in all his scores emphatized this. Although Karajan was marvellous indeed.

[MikeDrewYT]

Well, he certainly had Karajan in the German dept....Karajan was an Austrian! :-D

[LudwigZhi]

Austria and Germany are one and the same in a musical sense

[1401JSC]

A waltz from Potsdam is not at all the same as a waltz from Vienna.

[Aktanith]

Musically speaking, Vienna is in a league of it's own, especially when it comes to waltzes

[jd71188]

my band played this 2 years ago in San Antonio for All-State invitational. brings back memories...

[RedEM]

Did you go to Birdville? :O

[jd71188]

no, i actually don't know exactly what birdville is, but i have heard of it.

[jayala818]

impressive sound quality for the time period !

nice =)

[rpquin]

You should remove this video from YOUTUBE! It is so old and poor. Please unload a more recent video.

[1337evan]

was this recorded in the 30s or 40s? Just wondering. I dont know when Furtwangler lived. I just love this piece.

[walawee]

i believe this is him with the vienna philharmonic in about 1950.

[walawee]

scratch that i thinks its with the berlin phil in about 1930

[lovesGenet]

He really is something to watch.Too bad we have film of Nikitsch it cant be as magical as all the letters tell us.this ghostly looking film adds its own lustre.this whole thing feels like Murnau or Wedekind.So fortunate to havethis .thanks for posting this.

[emtube]

Utterly magical. Furtwangler is like a shaman evoking images seen in another realm and somehow manifesting them for the rest of us in this mundane plane.
