Portraying supreme spirituality with the Vienna Philharmonic.
This recording from Furtwängler's later years is a masterpiece that makes the most of the Vienna Philharmonic's rich sound.
Unlike the explosive performances during the war, this performance features a noble harmony filled with deep contemplation and compassion. The dramatic changes in tempo are truly characteristic of a master. This is a sublime image of Beethoven that can be considered a legacy for humanity.
