Furtwangler - Complete Studio Recordings 4-lp

Only four recordings were made by star conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler and "his" Berlin Philharmonic in the postwar era for Deutsche Grammophon. All of them were works from the conductor's core repertoire and recordings that became legendary: Schubert's "Great" C major Symphony (No. 9), Schumann's Symphony No. 4, the Haydn Symphony No. 88, and the Maestro's own 2nd Symphony. All four recordings, made between 1951 and 1953, bear witness to Furtwängler's passionate approach to this music and to his conducting distinctions, such as the famous and incomparable legato bows that set him apart. Even today, almost seven decades later, the recordings have lost none of their fascination. Deutsche Grammophon is now reissuing them in a limited and numbered vinyl deluxe edition (4 LP). All records were made from masters of the original tapes as 180g pressings, and each comes with its own sleeve modeled after the original record sleeves. As a bonus, the box contains facsimiles of the original recording logs.
