Those in attendance in Vienna for this performance thought knew how fine it would be -- but they were in for a surprise. This was THE finest interpretation od Eroica ever!! Perhaps U'm growing old and sappy, but this simply brings me to tears .

[thalassaokra]

Furtwangler ha scolpito nella mia anima l'amore per la Musica Sinfonica !

[gianniformizziopitz]

there's no better intrpreter and director of Beethoven... I think that Ludwig would be astonished how someone can be so into his music...

[kazuhiros]

Furtwangler is born for this symphony absolutely phenomenal balance & intensity exactly expressing epic behind the composition I adore

[susyjack]

Listening to this full piece I felt I had died and gone to heaven. It was pure, complete bliss and thorough enjoyment.

[delmaengde]

OMG what an incredible performance. Most other performances seem dull in comparison. It is not flashy or proud, not effect seeking, it is a humane performance in the middle of that terrible year 1944.

[natanaelgorrin]

Ningún otro director comprende a Beethoven, ningún otro director interpreta a Beethoven, ningún otro director hace el sonido de Beethoven, la fuerza, la meditación, el metamensaje, la construcción arquitectónica de la música Beethoveniana, solamente Furtwängler era capaz de transmitir el mundo de Beethoven. Simplemente insuperable.

[preetiatwal]

Carlos Kleiber thought that 'no one could equal Furtwangler.'

[dusankosanovic]

Favorite symphony with favorite conductor!

[thalassaokra]

Quale amorevole ricordo porto per mio Padre che riempiva gli scaffali di dischi di Musica Classica !

[attilastersky]

thunderously beautiful, we need this encouragement in this dark age of the 21st Century ! =D

[gregsdrummer]

The simultaneous tension and beauty from 12:00-12:15. So glorious, this is definitely the most alive version ever!

"With Beethoven, music became for the first time capable of expressing what in Nature is the catastrophic element. This catastrophe is no less natural than the slow organic development of evolution: it is another form of Nature's expression. So far the character of music had been epic, now it gradually became dramatic. In ancient Greece, too, Homer preceded the tragic poets". - Wilhelm Furtwangler, Concerning Music (1953)

Genial. Es un gran placer escuchar a Furtwangler interpretando a Beethoven. Gracias por compartir.
Saludos desde México.

[jackskelly]

The greatest interpretation of all time, without question.

[hartmud-derhypochonderfreu]

Its this moment when music becomes so much more then just notes on a paper.

[marionkiker]

Furtwangler, Beethoven's conductor.

I miss all those past recordings with tube tech recording gear, a less detailed sound, a rich mass sound and mono.
Nowadays is a crazy run for a crystal clear sound, never a recording sound will sound as a live presence sound.
