Product Description
[October New Release Pre-Order][Furtwängler 70th Anniversary of Death][First Press Limited Edition][UHQCD Specification][Green Color Label Coating]
Wilhelm Furtwängler, the greatest conductor of the 20th century, continues to fascinate new fans even 70 years after his death. To commemorate the 70th anniversary of his death, 30 titles from the "Furtwängler Edition," originally released in 2004, are being re-released on UHQCD! Organized by recording year, this is an essential collection for fans.
The Franck recording is from his last concert during the war. Furtwängler went into exile in Switzerland after this, but the performance is a powerful and intense rendition that perfectly captures his feelings at the time. The Ravel recording is a live recording from Stuttgart in 1951. A rare repertoire.
