  • Fantastically passionate

  • I absolutely agree with ekrenek and I assume that this was the first recording of the piece just a year after its original performance. The Furtwangler interpretation is perfect in all respects - the only other really excellent translation of this work was by Barborolli and the Halle which I think was recorded in 1968

  • Amazing how can play two unisono violas (4. and 5.) so out of tune in the first bars!

  • Somptueuse et bouleversante interprétation!

  • This is truly a historic document and the most amazing Metamorphosen ever recorded. Period. After you read the notes - Strauss, Furtwangler, the BPO, 1947 - little else need be said by way of commentary...
