Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 - Vinyl

No work appeared more frequently in Furtwangler's concert programmes than Beethoven's Fifth. Between 1918 and his death in 1954, he conducted more than a hunred performances, including a superbly realized 1937 HMV studio recording with the Berlin Philharmonic and this formidable studio remake with the Vienna Philharmonic, further proof of his astonishing ability to penetrate a work to its core yet preserve it as a living entity.
