布魯克納:第九號交響曲 福特萬格勒 指揮 / Furtwangler / Bruckner / Symphony No. 9

Wilhelm Furtwängler has left us with 112 live concert recordings. Many connoisseurs consider that his most
unforgettableperformance was that of 7th October 1944 in the Berlin Beethoven-Saal, attended by Hermann Göring. The
programmefeatured Bruckner's last (unfinished) symphony, and closed with the adagio from Symphony No 7. This slow
movement is heavy with Wagnerian Weltschmerz. It was written in the weeks preceding Wagner's death in February 1883,
and whennews reached Bruckner that Wagner had indeed died in Venice, he added the deeply poignant coda as an explicit
tribute.This original recording represents Furtwängler's most inspired performance and is a compelling testimony to his
legacy. It took Furtwängler to recognise and recreate an absolutely perfect depiction of Bruckner's tortured mind and, by
extension, an entire world on the brink of collapse.
