Furtwängler Conducts the Complete Beethoven Symphonies

Generally unsurpassed in his time in the interpretation of romantic-era Austro-German repertoire, Wilhelm Furtwängler’s (1886-1954) many studio and live recordings of works by Bruckner, Wagner and, above all, Beethoven capture his thrusting dynamism, musical understanding and regard in which he held these composers. This 24Bit/96KHz newly re-mastered six-disc Andromeda set of Beethoven’s nine symphonies and select overtures features four orchestras (Berlin, Vienna, Philharmonia (U.K.) and the Hamburg Staatsorchester) in concert performances from 1944-1954).
