5.0 out of 5 stars Furtwangler In Concert In Very Fine Sound, 16 Mar 2004
By NNNNN "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Wilhelm Furtwangler was never very comfortable in the recording studio which is why much of his recorded legacy are from concert performances of varying sound quality. The performances on these cds were made in the early 1950's when the Vienna Philharmonic was on tour in southern Germany. The excellent mono recordings were made by Barvarian Radio and have been nicely remastered by Orfeo.
The Beethoven, Schumann and Haydn works were often conducted by Furtwangler but as will be obvious here they are far from routine . He always looked at works as if for the first time and they can be heard afresh here. Most though will be drawn to the Bruckner 4th and once again far from routine and quite stimulating. One cannot say that he takes the work fast or slow as he is very flexible within the movements. He will takes some passages broadly while others are at an exhilarating pace that will have you hanging on to your seat. The Vienna Philharmonic really gets a workout here but they manage to hang in. The edition used is ,on paper, Haas but really Furtwangler who in places uses cymbals. Yes cymbals in the 4th. All of these performances have circulated on various pirated recordings but these are from the prime source and have far better sound. Excellent notes and basically mid price top off a very worthwile set.
