to tell the truth, i don't like this version. after all, the reason beethoven wrote a quartet was that he thought quartet was totally different from an orchestra piece. here it was arranged too orchestra, too heavy, too sad. we can not even hear the sunshine, or the belief that beethoven always had.
-
And then they all SOUND alike, right?
-
@CaptainBluebear08 It's a fuge - you don't get any more formal and rational than a fuge.
-
absolutely astonishing!
the grosse fuge is much more powerful when played by an orchestra.
the tonality is much like mahler, especially the sixth "tragic"
(mahler did love this grosse fugue, it probably had influnced his compositions)
and furtwangler, he's amazing, no one conducts beethoven than him (besides beethoven himself of course, but we don't know)

Nessuno come LUI ........ incomparabile !!!!!!

@lfreundlich1 I'm fairly sure Felix Weingartner started the practice. Mahler transcribed one of the quartets and was roasted for his audacity. Times change. Bernstein used a version by Mitropoulos - I think. Furtwängler did his own arrangement; I've seen his pocket score to the Fuge and he'd penciled in markings left and right.

thats a heavy version !

This is incredible. A juggernaut of sound. It's like a 20 minute continuous male orgasm for orchestra.
-
Wow! This is even better when played by a big orchestra:D

exagerated. german irrationalism.

The maestro is incredible, as always.
However, there is a wartime live recording that surpasses this later one, I think. The tension is just incredible.
