		This Furtwangler (1951) with the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra and Chorus (Schwarzkopf, Hongen, Hopf, and Edelmann).

		Furtwangler left out 14, technical problems had 2 more removed.

		Furtwangler gives a passionate but refreshingly unsentimental reading which, again, reveals enormous amounts of detail while at the same time fitting it into his overall conception.
		Furtwangler immediately proves to us that we're in for one of the most exciting orchestral recordings of anything.
		the introduction is fairly straightforward (for furtwangler, at least) but places an irresistable accelerando into the exposition proper, the themes of which have their own tempos and characters unlike any of the others.

		Controversial he may have been but Wilhelm Furtwängler (1886-1954) was the foremost German conductor of his time.
		Born in Berlin, he studied composition with Rheinberger and Max von Schillings, having written his first work at the age of seven.
		Whatever he conducted, even the lighter works of those composers whose output could be considered predominantly serious, he always brought the same questing spirit to search out the soul of the music, revealing the inspiration and the influences that fired the composer’s imagination.

		Worth seeing, too, the Istvan Szabo film based on Ronald Harwood's play Taking Sides, a chilling tale of the victimisation of Furtwangler by a pig-ignorant deNazifying American official after the war (and btw includes a delectable few moments of Rini Shaham singing jazz).
		She recounts that her husband stayed in Germany during the war because it was threatened that if he left, his entire orchestra would be disbanded, drafted and sent to certain death the Front.
		I am afraid if one is going to castigate Furtwangler for staying, then it must be the same verdict for Richard Strauss and, to a lesser extent, Franz Lehar.

	Wilhelm Furtwangler conducts HAYDN: Sym. 88; RAVEL: Rapsodie espagnole; BRUCKNER: Sym. No. 4 (Melodram)
		Promoted as "Never Released Before," this complete concert from Stuttgart, October 22, 1951 with Wilhelm Furtwaengler (1886-1954) is in good though not great sound, so members of the Furtwaengler cult are more likely to gravitate to it than audiophiles.
		Melodram has eliminated any audience applause from the ends of the final movements of the individual pieces, so the grand, expansive peroration that concludes the Bruckner Romantic Symphony loses a bit of the released tension of the moment.
		Despite a slightly insecure French horn, the Bruckner has that aural mystery Furtwangler’s best work transmits; the obstinate and tremolando figures pulsate incandescent power.
