Electrifying! I am 77 but this was like hearing Beethoven's 5th for the first time. Fresh, clear, powerful and totally alive. Never heard W. Furtwangler before. This goes beyond the bravado of Bernstein and precession of Von Karajan. I feel like I've just met the soul of Ludwig for the first time. Bravo master Furtwangler! Bravo... where ever you are.

Beethoven's music is primal. It reaches deeper into our minds than any other composer's music. No other composer has that impact on me. And Furtwangler interpreted Beethoven the best. They both climbed highest and saw furthest.

This was my first time hearing anything done by Furtwangler's, let alone his interpretations of Beethoven's 5th. It was like I'd never heard it before. Instead of Beethoven pounding on the Gates of Heaven demanding entrance, this was like Beethoven himself took me by the hand and opened the Gates... just for me. Never have I heard it so alive. For me, this truly was one of those transcendent moments that touches upon things eternal.

A 85 ans, j'ai entendu de nombreuses interprétations de cette célèbre 5ème de Beethoven et je dois avouer que peu m'ont laissé aussi enchanté que celle que je viens d'entendre. S'il est indéniable que Furtwängler soit un grand chef, la gloire en l'occurrence ne revient assurément pas qu'à lui seul, la prestation de l'orchestre étant exceptionnelle et la prise de son, voire la remasterisation qui relèvent de véritables prouesses techniques pour arriver à un tel résultat n'y étant pas pour rien ! La fusion de tous ces éléments aboutit à un résultat rare mais j'estime que comparer ici le chef avec von Karajan par exemple n'est pas du tout convaincant, tant il a existé antérieurement et existent présentement d'autres grands chefs, les premiers n'ayant pas joui hélas pour flatter l'oreille des mélomanes quelque peu avertis, des moyens techniques dont on dispose aujourd'hui. Je suis en effet littéralement époustouflé quand j'écoute des CD qui reproduisent des enregistrements réalisés au départ de rouleaux Edison !!!

Great. Furtwangler has been called the master of transitions. He is said to have worked and worked on them in rehearsal. I think because he realized how important they are to the music. His "heavy" chords are another thing. He supposedly didn't want razor sharp precision because a slightly staggered entry by different instruments gave the chords that body and weight which you can hear in this performance. The Only Furtwangler performances available used to be the Studio version with VPO ,1952 I think and the May 27th 1947 BPO version. The variety on UTUBE is a joy for me after being so limited for so long.

It is a great album and the recordings are superb.
@philipkuttner79455 жыл бұрын
Yes, the chords do gain body and weight. But Beethoven could have notated the instruments to stagger their entrances; instead he wrote them all to play at once. These chords remind me of very old-fashioned pianists who used to roll all their chords. Aside from the messy chords (and some messy ta-ta-ta-DAH's), it's a fine performance.

Over a half century has passed since the performance but the soul in the rendition is unchanged. After listening to about 10 different versions of Beethoven's 5 fifth, I find this the most moving one. Eventhough the sound quality isn't up to par with recent recordings naturally. It is simply more music in Furtwängler's version than the other's I've listened to so far eventhough they all share the same notes.

You didn't know about all the different styles of interpretation and all the music theory, you just knew this is Beethoven's 5th and that's how it's played. By listening to Furtwangler's version you realize that there's no doubt that Beethoven himself would have played it like this. Karajan is good, of course, but his version can't even compete with this in my opinion.

+rationalconscience In my opinion Beethoven might be confused by the size of the orchestra and the slower post-romantic tempos and rich textures given by the newer instruments. Maybe he would have liked it, maybe he would have thought it was bullshit. 150 years is a long time and frankly I think music reinterpreted in a different cultural context should be listened to more for the interpretation than for how well it would please its original composer. I listen to Furtwangler's Beethoven for Furtwangler and less for Beethoven.

Precisely. von Karajan is too mechanical, as though a computer were the conductor, excising all that is human and/or spiritual from the rendition. Once was enough for me and I was DONE with him. Ozawa seems the same to me. Likewise, Barenboim makes great pretensions at creativity while being the same as von Karajan in my opinion. He ruined DuPre's ethereal creativity and play, again in my opinion, by over controlling her. He had her wound up tighter than a broken clock but still her feeling managed to shine through.
@jackhousman66377 жыл бұрын
I've heard three different Karajan recordings of the Brahms Requiem. One is deadlier that the other. In one, he takes the baritone solo movement so slowly, that the young, fresh Hans Hotter has to take extra breaths, between the normal ones. K. sleepwalks through the entire work until the fugue in the second to last movement, at which point someone, like the recording producer, must have come up behind him and kicked him hard in the pants, because he suddenly wakes up and starts making actual music. He's supposed to be one of the all-time greats, but his recordings have always left me absolutely cold.

Furtwangler had a strong jealousy against Karajan. It is evidence that he had to admit Karajan's genius. To be jealous of a young man younger than 20 years, I think Furtwangler is small as a human being. Even if such a person plays, sound and soul are muddy. Beethoven is sorrowful in the other world.

Furtwängler's interpretation is as just individual, as all the other conductor are not able to interpret this music so as Beethoven had meant. Furtwängler's interpretation is the nearest interpretation to the original music as Beethoven concieved it in his head. Thanks to Furtwängler we can hear the Beethoven's music as Beethoven himself probably heard his music for the first time in his head. In any case I personally feel the most comfort hearing Beethoven interpreted by Furtwängler, a comfort which I don't experience by no other conductor till now.

I have a sort of love/hate relationship with Furtwangler. I'm really not keen on the way he pulls tempi about and often his music has this speeding up and down quality rather like when you drive your car over speed bumps. But the more I listen to his music the more I realise how hugely influential he was on performing techniques in the 20th century. I think he really influenced how orchestras sound all over the world today. When i listen to von karajan's recording of later years I can still hear a lot of Furtwangler in the orchestra's performance. He built on what Furtwangler did. Without Furtwangler, Karajan's orchestra would not have sounded as it did.

When and where was this performance? It has been a while since I listened to my 1943 Berlin recording of this, but this sounds like it could be that version.

Just listened to Toscanini's. This is as fine, just in a different way. I think I do prefer this slightly slower pace. All the greats - no complaints.

I've always wondered what the musicians that performed this symphony for the 1st time ever in the history of mankind must have felt, you know I mean the 1st performance ever in front Beethoven. Now that must have been a sensation so sublime.

They were stressed out and completely spent. It was too much, with rushed rehearsals and scores still wet. I don’t think that they realized that they were part of the greatest show the world has ever witnessed: Beethoven’s 5th and 6th symphonies, the 4th piano concerto, and, IIRC, the Fantasy for piano, orchestra and choir.
