  • Grossini, you are a moron, not only because you have no taste but because unlike your idol Frutolini, you apparently don't know that the last bars of the Ninth are marked "prestissimo." You're not as much of a moron, though, as that goddamned woman talking over the ending of this video. Hope she died a slow and painful death.

  • We have lost so much - Furtwangler was one of the last conductor with a direct connection to the Romantic Period ... you will hear nothing like this today, nothing! This is how it was meant to sound - the passion is amazing.

  • @joncaves This wasn't the 'romantic' period this was the height of the best classical composers and the classical period. -.-

  • @idesof Don't you mean "Götterdämmerung" woman? Would a conductor's baton inserted anally been appropriate enough? I detest people who start clapping after a performance has begun or finished and similar cretins who jump to their feet indiscriminately. Why is it that pillories are no longer available for punishment of such riff-raff?

  • Must plug the 1943 Furtwangler performance of the 7th with all its playful intensity and perfectly bitter-sweet 2nd mvmt . This performance of the 9th seems fearful and rigid. This is definitely not 1951, though. Those are nazi swastikas, and nazi military men in the audience. It should be the 1942 performance with Berlin Philharmonic. Furtwangler hated the nazis and used his fame to preserve arts in Berlin during the war. He also helped several jewish musicians escape Germany. LOL@handwipe!

  • I hate the voice! I want hear Fürtwangler conducting the Ninth Symphony, no that stupid voice!

  • @idesof

    prestissimo? uhmmmm

    i think it sounds better in presto

  • @FOFO730 what do you mean "and???"? I wasn't even talking to you.

  • @grThetrojan01gr

    and???

  • @idesof I support you & REALLY want to kill that CHICKEN - PARROT- PORKY-PIG !

  • p.s. AND WHY always IDIOTS ARE MAJORITY ? there is a some "philosophers"

    "criticizing"....?! about tempo..?! HAHAHAHA....ahhhh capital jesting ! WE ARE SO UNLUCKY for not having FURTWANGLER as  our contemporary...SO UNFORTUNATE !...SO MISERABLE !

  • What kind of energy spreading from Furtwangler's mind ? Why even most bad sound-quality recordings of this GENIUS - MASTER , makes me  cry ? & keeps me speechless ?
