I mean, Furtwanger was an Aquarius. You give an Aquarius a baton and he will blow the hinges off your auditorium.

Mahmoud, i tempi sono cambiati, il nazismo è finito! Aggiornati, perchè qualcuno prima di te ha detto le stesse cose e tutti sappiamo come è finito. Adesso viviamo tempi diversi. Quello che dici è una sciocchezza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

German people are the greatest people on earth. They are so creative in all fields you can think of. Arts, music, science and many other things.

While I don't like the tempos (they're too slow, not unlike Klemperer) in every other way this is a stunning performance; it captures the pensiveness of the piece and the color, detail and dynamics are simply outstanding.

@hotrodschwinn because smart people are constantly pissed since the vast majority of IQ levels in society is 100 and those people feel lonely at levels 150+
-
@hotrodschwinn If you were an outcast because you couldn't hear, you'd be pissed pretty much all the time too.

he has been a great thinker of germany in music development, he developed the music, but the germans did not develop themselves. so he is a great german forever.

Why was Beethoven ALWAYS pissed?

@xlizmyersx I would agree if only the tempo didn't change so often.

out-standing performance

I've heard Furtwangler could make an orchestra sound better by simply walking in the room! This performance proves how fantastic this group sounds. The timpanist PUSHES the beat instead of mushing from behind. It adds to the intensity. It's almost.....dare I say it....rock. This conductor rocks!!

this interpretation of the work is a little miracle. it is a proof of what can be done with music if the interpreters vision is wise and radical enough. Sheer drama and tragedy not heard only but can be even touched while listening this recording. Furtwangler in some cases damages the works he conduct because of his unparalled handling but here and a Schubert9 recording(for the 2nd movement of the work) from50s he manages to climb the everest of his art.Glorious exmaples of his art of conducting
