He was definitely a Nazi, but managed to clean his name in East Germany (of all places) and build himself a second career under the Communists. This recording is from the GDR, only months after the end of the war.
A magnificent performance, taken at exactly the correct tempi to earn the name "Tragic." I fail to undertsand why Abendroth is not a household name; was he a Nazi or something?
