An immortal performance that embodies Furtwängler's spirit
The ultimate interpretation of Beethoven by one of the 20th century's most representative conductors.
Wilhelm Furtwängler conducts the Vienna Philharmonic and the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra in this recording of Symphony No. 5 "Fate" and Symphony No. 9 "Choral." His conducting is imbued with deep spirituality, constructing a magnificent musical drama in which each movement is organically linked. Although this performance was made shortly after the war, the depth of his interpretation and the power of his expression remain as vivid as ever, and continue to captivate large audiences today.
