FURTWANGLER & Bruckner Adagio from Symphony #7.wmv

[@wadebredin7795]

Simply one of the most beautiful works of art masterfully performed. Thank you for posting.

[@Carstininvestments]

Furtwangler's feel for the score was unsurpassed. There is something so elemental and primal in his feeling for German music that is simultaneously time infinitely tender.

[@christophharing3769]

Justin Carroll - not german, Bruckner was Austrian.

[@GianlucaCagnaniJSBGLORY]

This is german music. Nothing to do with viennese 'joye de vivre' or style etc. Bruckner was deeply impressed by Wagner's music.

[@aldolopez1978]

Gianluca Cagnani Brucker was deeply austrian. Deeply catholic devout. Of course Wagner was a big influence for his music but not more than Sacred Latin music for organ. But all that doesnt matter. There is not an austrian culture. There is the culture of the german people. In the XIX century there was a competition for the prevalence in the rise of the new Germany and Prussia won Austria. But both of them had the same culture with obvious differences, of course. South germans have a catholic heritage while northern germans have a lutheran one.

20:34 and the horns ! at 21:54 ! as a german , when I am hearing this music in this Furtwängler moment , I doubt on everything . All ghosts and hopes are present , this is a calm delirium , a pure and lethal revelation .....

I love this music and this conductor without measure and without resistance. Unbeschreiblich diese Schönheit! Unfassbar! Ohne Ende!

Ich liebe diese Symphony.

[@Ettoredipugnar]

Thank God for Telefunkin recording engineering ! That we have this !

[@cripplehawk]

Aus dem Führerhaupt-Quartier - 3 Februar 1943 Das Oberkommando der Wehrmacht gibt bekannt: Der Kampf um Stalingrad ist zu Ende.................. This was the most likely version played after that announcement.

[@FunOfTheChase]

Someone take a time machine to Furtwangler and let him record some lossless FLAC's of this piece. Conductors make or break the enjoyment of classical music.

[@mag-wp6yt]

Bruckner mourning the death of his beloved Wagner.

[@thom0909]

They also played this movement (not sure if it was this recording) when they announced the loss at Stalingrad.

[@rankoorovic7904]

They played this for 24 hours on February 3-4.

[@waynebrown616]

I also believe German radio played this following their announcement of Hitler's death in Berlin. It was preceded by a Brahms composition that I have forgotten. Author James P. O' Donnell , author of 'The Bunker' said of the announcement, " Brahms faded into Bruckner ".

Played after Stalingrad capitulation and later in 1945, announcing Hitler's death

[@lmsalaverria]

fURTWÂNGLER, fue un director muy poco audible para mi. Cuando el papa catòlico Bergoglio mencionò que la mejor interpretaciòn d elas sinfonìas de Beethoven era sin duda alguna la de Furtwângler, empecè por ponerle atenciòn y seguir cada fuerza o quietud en la direcciòn de las obras qeu interpretaba. Ahora me parece extraordinario, casi increible su poder de transmisiòn de los sentimientos de cada autor, especialmente de Bruckner. ¡Furtwângler es inimitable!

[@Jivanmuktishu]

the Celibdache version of this, one of the most beautiful of Bruckner's Adagios, is five minutes longer & equally slower you should try it to see how one of the great conductors of Bruckner compares with a rival. Furtwangler or Celibdache : Coffee or a sleeping.pill?

[@dacianbonta2840]

I hope they played Joska Horenstein's 1928 version...

[@LeonFleisherFan]

This the 7 April 1942 version played on 1 May 1945 by the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft upon the news of Hitler's death?

[@gecbimiro2268]

[@gustavobustosrojas7199]

Doch, natürlich. Das ist Wahr gewesen.

[@mitchsussy1691]

Recorded as hundreds of thousands of men women and children were murdered by einzastgruppe troops or police battalions manned by middle aged Germans. The worst was yet to come.

[@holterpolter4756]

@@gustavobustosrojas7199 Nein, das stimmt nicht. Es ist nicht klar, welche Aufnahme gespielt wurde. Die Aufnahme Furtwänglers dauert knapp 23 Minuten. Am 1.Mai 1945 wurde aber 27 Minuten Bruckner gespielt, bis die Nachricht von Hitlers Tod verklündet wurde.

[@None-zc5vg]

The pro-fascist U.S. élite installed themselves into the administration of occupied W.Germany and saw to it that many war-criminals got away with it. The Nuremberg-and other trials dealt mostly with front-men, fanatics and minor players: the invisible government of industrialists and financiers that put the Nazis into power and profited hugely from it got left well alone. Only the 'little people' paid the price. Read about the (family) relationship of Wall Street's John McCloy and 'squeaky-clean ' post-war German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer [who petitioned successfully for the release of a convicted S.S. killer, Martin Sandberger, who'd helped massacre thousands of Eastern European civilians].

Temná, ale přesto naději poskytující hudba. Dramaturg, který po téhle nahrávce sáhl po oznámení Hitlerovi smrti, byl génius.
