Beethoven Symphony 9, Furtwangler Conducts The Lucerne Festival
Otto Edelmann, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Music & Arts Program, 1995

Truly, he had one foot in the next world
In my opinion Furtwangler is the greatest conductor on record, possibly the greatest recording artist. At his best, he touches a plane of spiritual exaltation that is simply unmatched. Here is perhaps the finest demonstration of that fact. After this concert he told ...
  
  











  



  
Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Schwarzkopf · Ludwig · Karajan
Richard Strauss, Herbert von Karajan, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Waltz me around again
OK, Der Rosenkavalier opera is a smidgeon kinky. But the music is ethereal. One of the most hauntingly beautiful waltzes ever written. This music was sung (with words by Hollywood lyricist Earl Brent) by the fetching Jeanette Mac Donald in the movie "Three Daring ...

Beethoven - Symphony no. 9 'Choral' / Furtwängler, Schwarzkopf, Höngen, Hopf, Edelmann (Great Recordings of ...
Ludwig van Beethoven, Wilhelm Furtwangler, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

Wow!
Yes the critics are right. This is the greatest recording of this towering musical masterpiece.
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9
Otto Edelmann, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Orfeo D'or, 2008

The REAL Bayreuth Ninth!
In 1960, I purchased my first Beethoven Ninth, the 1951 Furtwaengler/Bayreuth recording on German Electrola. It was also my first exposure to the supreme Beethoven conductor. Since then, I have acquired many other Ninths, including the 1942 Furtwaengler Berlin Ninth, ...
  
  











  



  
The Complete EMI Recordings 1946-1984, Vol. 1: Orchestral [Box Set]
Hans Hotter, Otto Edelmann, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

More Praise
I can only echo the extravagant praise of my fellow Amazon.com reviewers. This box, which contains literally everything Karajan recorded for EMI in Vienna, London and Berlin from the 1940's through the early '80's, and its companion volume, which features all of ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart: Don Giovanni, K527
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Wilhelm Furtwängler, ...

Gala, 2000

Very good
I have bought this cd opera and I listened it yesterday evening. I live in Ceneda of Vittorio Veneto (Italy) where Da Ponte was born. I have other two version (Solti director and Muti director) but this is the best. Very good the director and very good the ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart - Don Giovanni / Furtwangler
Otto Edelmann, Elisabeth Grümmer

Deutsche Grammophon, 2001

A stunning Don
It is many years since I first saw this as a film in a theatre and my memories of it were such that I was almost scared to play it again on DVD lest it not live up to the memory. I needn't have worried - the intervening years and seeing several wonderful live ...
  
  











  



  
Weber: Der Freischutz
Carl Maria von Weber, Wilhelm Furtwängler, ...

Opera D'oro, 2001

A "Freischutz" for the ages
Weber's "Der Freischutz" is an opera that has never really done well with American audiences. Apparently there is just something very "Gremanic" about it that seems offputting, but in all honesty (as this recording proves) what it really needs is a firebrand conductor ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies
Otto Edelmann, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Karajan is the best !
I have all Karajan's Beethoven recordings. This is a very good complete one from early Karajan (50's). The sound is mono but it is very clear in these CD's.
  
  











  



  
Weber: Der Freischütz
Carl Maria von Weber, Wilhelm Furtwängler, ...

Gala, 2000

Gorgeous, atmospheric Freischuetz
This recording best captures the earthy, woodsy, murky atmosphere of the opera. Elisabeth Gruemmer's "Und ob die Wolke sie verhuelle" with its cello obligato goes at the slowest imaginable tempo, and is simply gorgeous. The rest of the singing is of very high ...
  
  











  



  
Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier
Eberhard Wächter, Harald Proglhoff, ...

Angel Records, 1997

Still the best recording of Strauss masterpiece!
If you like this opera, you have found the complete recording. There are no weak points, in every detail, Karajan has succeded. When T. Stich-Randall and C. Ludwig sing the duet in the beginning of act 2, it can be said in just one word, sensational!
  
  











  



  
Richard Strauss: Arabella
Richard Strauss, Georg Solti, ...

Decca, 2006

The best studio version of Arabella available
This is my first time being the first writing a review, so here it is! I give this CD a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5. This is, in my opinion, the best studio version available of Strauss' Arabella. The only recording that surpasses the [historical] value of this ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart: Don Giovanni
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Wilhelm Furtwängler, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

IT'S A GREAT ONE!
"Don Giovanni" is a very great, but difficult opera. It requires a charasmatic bass-baritone (or bass) for the title role, another equally great bass-baritone with a comic flair (for Leporello), two great leading sopranos for two very difficult roles (Donnas Anna and ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Fidelio
Ludwig van Beethoven, Wilhelm Furtwangler, ...

EMI References, 1993

Furtwängler's 1953 studio recording with Mödl, Windgassen and the VPO
SOURCE: Studio recording made by EMI at the Musikvereinsaal in Vienna on October 13-17, 1953. Producer, Walter Legge. SOUND: Wilhelm Furtwängler was the ultimate prestige figure for EMI to the day he died in 1954, and Walter Legge was the company's most ...
