Description
[Machine Translation] Critical biographies of Wilhelm Furtwangler have often been at opposite ends of the spectrum, depending on the author's position. He may be morally denounced as a Nazi sympathizer, or he may be praised as a man who resisted the regime by rescuing his persecutors from the Nazi regime. But whichever side one stands on, the common denominator is that he was one of the greatest conductors who ever lived. In this book, we compare the myths about Furtwangler with the facts and present a true picture of the man behind the "myths. Through a vast amount of documents and interviews with contemporary witnesses, the book corrects old errors and provides new insights. The book also covers details that have been missing from previous biographies, such as his youth in Munich, his relationship with the musicologist Heinrich Schenker, his attempt to establish an "anti-Bayreuth" movement in Salzburg that was thwarted by Hitler, and his private life, including his relationships with women and illegitimate children. This book is a biography of a musician. This book is not only a biography of a musician, but also a history of the political system in Germany during four different periods.
