¡Furtwangler Conducts Beethoven in 1942
¡Wilhelm Furtwangler
Description
[Machine Translation] Finally, the first domestic release! The Ninth" on the eve of Hitler's birthday in 1942! Under the pressure of Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, who had planned to have Furtwangler conduct the Fuhrer's birthday concert as a symbol of national unity amid the worsening war situation, Furtwangler, who had refused the request by scheduling other performances, finally gave in and was forced to conduct under the Nazi Party flag. Although Furtwangler was unwilling to conduct, Hitler did not show up at the concert, but his conducting under the extreme conditions with the Nazi Party leaders in the background was even more intense than in the "Ninth of Melodia"! It was an outpouring of anger against Hitler, and was truly the height of fierceness. The Berlin Philharmonic's ensemble, which responded with tremendous concentration and a sense of urgency, was unquestionable. Above all, the Bruno Kittel Chorus is superb! This chorus is considered to be the best.
