Not only the greatest conductor of any and all time, but also the greatest interpretive musician of any and all time. Cannot be recreated, of course, so thank God for whatever recordings and footage we do have to remind us of the greatness of classical music.
In your opinion why is Furtwängler a greater conductor than Toscanini? I recently compared Furtwängler's recording of Coriolan with that of Toscanini and I have to say that I thought Furtwängler superior. Toscanini took it at a much faster tempo and kept it _a tempo_ throughout, whereas Furtwängler varied the tempo and deployed _molto rubato_ on occasion for expressive and dramatic effective.
@@bayreuth79 Allow me to offer a view, based on a great many years of listening. I think it is fair to say that both were great conductors. The differences were in their interpretive approach. Toscanini was more of a technician, who usually attempted to perform what he viewed as an accurate reproduction of what was written in the score. Furtwängler was more of an artist, who viewed the score as a line drawing by the composer, to which he added color to create a more vivid picture. Each individual listener hears music in their unique way, making which is "better" a subjective choice. Personally, while I enjoy many of Toscanini's recordings, I tend to prefer Furtwängler overall.
I've watched this video numerous times and am always struck by the amazing symbiosis between Furtwängler and the musicians. Only the greatest conductors have the gift for communicating so fully with an orchestra and making music truly come to life. Furtwängler was one of them.

Furtwängler, one of the most important conductor of XX century!
Probably the best quality video/film of a Furtwangler performance!

@@leestamm3187 I tend to agree with that.
Oh please. A bit much.

これは凄い！
今のオケで、いったいこれだけの「音楽的な音楽」をやっているところがあるだろうか？ 間違いなく皆無だね。コンマスはギーゼラー。チェロに若き日のペーター・シュタイナーがいる！ コントラバスの最後尾にはライナー・ツェペリッツの姿が！ とにかく素晴らしい！
Great performance, amazing having a immortal conductor video,
Absolutely better sound and video
Thanks so much
The last section at 14:25. Had me in tears.
Além da música, VER Furtwängler regendo é um plus maravilhoso.
Sublime; hay momentos en que parece ser un episodio o una aparición dentro del bullicio de "Amanecer" de Murnau. Y también de Fausto.
The second coming by Yeats: “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”
amazing how the same notes can be interpreted so differently
