The greatness of Furtwängler was that he always conducted with hesitation . These precious moments in which he seems to say on the stage : " do you hear how beautiful this is ? ... ? "

Wilhelm Furtwängler (January 25, 1886 - November 30, 1954) was a German conductor and composer. He is widely considered to have been one of the greatest symphonic and operatic conductors of the 20th century. Great Performance!!! Thank you WeicheWotan for sharing this video.

I have always been impressed at how he worked with Italian Orchestras to play German Music . His Rai Ring for Example. It must have been a great deal of work it the Orchestra was unfamiliar with the music. But I guess good musicians can play music beautifully as here, no matter where they are from or what they are used to playing.

Tobias K-ommunist ?: Votre commentaire est inqualifiable de bêtise. Si pour Furtwangler des questions se posent sur son choix de rester pendant la période nazie et de jouer dans des circonstances bien peu honorables en présence d'Hitler, ses interprétations restent légendaires. On rappelera l' attitude si digne de Knappertbusch.

Yes, the European Declaration and the Treaty of Paris establishing the ECSC were signed in 1951. So Italy was indeed (or about to become) an ally of (West) Germany - and of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. I guess you're saying that this recording is sort of reflective of the birth of European unity then?

Many people apologize and hold the sides in politics, nobody listens to the culture inheritance as it is, no matter who performs (and in this case it's exquisite performance). This music was made in 1866-7 or so, who cared about allies, bloody 20th century slaughtery and hate of nowadays? Please, step aside if you dislike, or simply say, I suggest: 'I don't like this music, this tradition, European culture and Wagner!', without nowadays politics involved.
