On this DVD: Great Conductors of the Third Reich: Art in the Service of Evil, a newsreel presents panzers parading down the Champs-Elysées juxtaposed with Karajan conducting the Prussian Staatskapelle in occupied Paris. Other footage includes Furtwängler conducting in celebration of Hitler's birthday, also Hitler at Bayreuth. When women see Hitler they weep for joy. The performances are glorious, spiritual even--the greatest art in the service of the greatest evil.--Stefan Zucker

  • You are right, we should never forget. But we should be objective. And your stupid prejudice about Furtwängler shows that you never read a book about him, about his intentions and about that history. Sorry......

  • you can see in his face that he had no soul. funny - did any of those idiots in the chorus or in the orchestra realize the irony of what they were singing about or playing about?

  • 一年前のフルトヴェングラーの時の演奏と違って、合唱団の団員さ­んの表情が暗いのはスターリングラード敗戦の直後の演奏(43年­4月)だからでしょうか?
