Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 9 (ed. Orel) Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler Recorded Beethovensaal, Berlin, 7th October, 1944
When I was a child, my fathers family had the most beautiful music albums. When we came to visit, I run to the albums, and with al the aunts and uncles it was the same, they took me secretly to another room with the finger on the lips, where they had the "forbidden" albums, the ones with Furtwangler, which they all loved the most, but no one ever spoke about it....
Apparently, Bruckner's 9th was Furtwangler's first conducting work... and it was a successful performance, amazingly, for such a difficult work! That was the Lowe edition, if memory serves me. This is the Orel, which is the unedited Bruckner.
Just a general aside. I get a lot more out of comments that highlight the passion and greatness of a conductor's performance, rather than quibbles over minor discrepancies. Beethoven enhances the beautiful natural New England environment I live in while Bruckner takes me into lands I never imagine existed. As I listen here, Furtwangler is capturing this second sensation with full measure. That's all I have to know or experience.
Wilhelm Furtwangler performs this grand and solemn symphony as the composer has created.The 4th chapter make us imagine the Cosmos with many brilliant stars.Such a beatiul romantic performance.
Spannende Aufführung dieser großartigen Sinfonie mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher, milden Töne aller Holzbläser und brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser. Der unvergleichliche Maestro dirigiert das weltklassige Orchester im relativ schnellen Tempo mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Aufnahme vom Kriegsjahr 1944 in Berlin. Alles ist wunderbar!

Bruckner prophetic music. Music with visionary properties. FUrtwangler is one of the greatest brucknerperformers of all times
５０数年前に他の演奏レコードは無く、兎に角、敢えて灯を落とし、暗闇で集中して有り難く聴いた！神の声が降り注いだ。

Was ein massives und zugleich auch feines Meisterwerk! Die animalische Kraft und Wucht dieser Aufführung ist beängstigend :0

Magnificent performance. Since I first heard this over 40 years ago, an unforgettable experience.

One of a kind A + conducting job....the Gold standard in conducting...
Masterful one of a kind interpretation...Greatness in musicality
Unbelievable spellbinding both the composer and conductor.
Monumental. The simple fact that this was part of his repertoire tells you all you need to know. Challenging content which is worth the time to learn.
The scherzo is terrifying !
What's amazing to me is where and when it was performed.
Bruckner: Was in der Tiefe ist, will in die Höhe, über die Erde in den Himmel, um dort die göttliche Tiefe zu erreichen: GOTT!

宇野功芳氏がディオニュソス的ブルックナーと唱えたフルトベングラーの演奏。個人的にはフルトベングラーは指揮者として、ブルックナーは作曲家として一番好きですので、ベストワンにしたい所ですが、うーん、ベートーヴェンの第九を聴いた時の様な霊的な感動。ブルックナーの自然とともに進行する音楽の感動とは違う気がする。
