5.0 out of 5 stars Immortal Performances, 31 Jan 2007
By G Pelloni "gpelloni" (Cottingham, East Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
the performances in this box present music making in its highest and most sublime sense. This is music making for all seasons and for all music lovers. These performances, alongside those in another DG Furtwangler box-set of the war period, are among the most heartfelt interpretations of great masters I have ever listened to. These are not exercises in mere aesthetics or searches for a beautiful sound for its own sake.In these recordings music is presented naked, as the deepest expression of the human mind and feelings. A must not only for Furtwangler collectors, but for all music lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential recordings, 6 Jul 2008
These wartime recordings (Vols. 1 & 2) are most enjoyable throughout.
Sound quality certainly is a drawback, but one you quickly overcome once you get tuned to Furtwangler artristy. And most of these performances are terribly captivating indeed!
Furtwangler was arguably the best conductor ever. In a time when recorded classical music sounds so uniform, the subjectivity and idiosyncrasy of these performances are nothing less than outstanding.
These are essential recordings in any self-respectable classical music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn your Beethoven here, 14 Nov 2008
By Pedro Sena Lino "Bizancian" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For anyone that has any kind of interest in classical music, a begginer or a connaisseur, this set is as essential as having ears to listen.
Prepare yourself for the bad sound: these are recordings from the II WW Period, taken in Berlin. But put in your mind that Furtwängler and BPO played this music under air-strikes, playing as if it was the last thing to do.
I recommend all the set (the Weber overtures are a little bit less interesting), because of the absolute way of Furtwängler of revising the score and bringing its darker and most painful side. But definitely, I recommend mainly the 5th and 7th, that are the most haunting performances ever. Everything here screams deepness, inner universes, a devastating strength. The 5th first mouvement seems to gather all the darkness of the beggining and the end of the world: the music emerges with a daunting authority, as it was played for the last time. If you have the EMI Furtwängler's recordings of Beethoven, these are other recordings, and very different from the other 5th and 7 th presented there, more mild in their own type of darkness.
The "Coriolanus" Overture has a titanesque reading. The timpani and the winds draw a line that we cannot be sure if it is from death to life.
You cannot be the same after listening to these recordings. Please don't forget your neighbours.
