I like this much better than Karajan's

amazing.

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

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)
-
Great beginning and tempo! Nailed both!
-
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.

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!
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.

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 !
